23 EQS 580 SUV, 19 X7 (sold), 17/14 GLS550 (sold) 13 GL550 (sold)
I decided to re-order an EQS 580 SUV from a dealer that I bought from in the past. I explain to them I will not pay above MSRP and they agreed to do a deal in writing to charge MSRP for the vehicle. There is one person ahead of me in the queue so mine likely will not be built till the first quarter of next year but at least it will be exactly what I want with a possible change in wheels if the AMG Wheels seen on the launch vehicle become available.
For those who are not aware, I had previously placed an order back in March for the same car through a nearby dealership who agreed to MSRP pricing. They later recanted so I immediately canceled the order. Customers need to take a stand on this price gouging nonsense.

You and I have both had rotten luck. My dealer submitted my order with base (not Nappa) leather in the wrong color, because the grey interior I had chosen became unavailable. Order was locked by time I found out. They wouldn't put me in line for the next allocation but said I would go to the back of the list (4th). So I got my deposit back.

Luckily asked my dealer to send netstar screenshot and saw they had everything from color to trim completely wrong. I had them update but missed to include running boards and illuminated star, by the time I realized the build was frozen.

seems like quite a few people were caught off guard by order being frozen. is there normally something in the system that alerts dealers when that is about to happen so a customer can make sure they are ready to proceed with the build as is ?

I had a good feeling it was going to be September but everyone assured it was Jan so I took time to decide on which color leather to choose. I’m still dumbfounded that the system defaulted from The most expensive leather to the least expensive one and then locked it.

My updated build with another dealership. Note the only change are the wheels (RWX). I needed to select them to avoid ordering the 3rd row option.

Hi All, I was able to get a dealer with MSRP and a locked build for September. Not my exact build I wanted but I think I will take it. It does have the 3rd row as well. At least on the build page. I am in the US so shipping should be easier.

I am up in the northeast, the color they had was Twilight Blue with Macchiato Beige / Space Grey Nappa
How do you think that will look? Hard to tell looking at the Sedan.
It had most options I was looking for, just not sure on the color. MSRP which most dealers are not doing.
