wtf really!?? I was told that mine would be delivered max max late December? Are they lying ? Mind you I’m in Canada but I don’t know if that makes any difference but all I know is that they are all being held at the port of Halifax where most imports are vpc’ed when entering the east coast. I do know my car has been in the country since August, and if they are behind this hold I will flip out hard. All they are saying is it’s transport canada’s fault not Merdedes

Haven’t some of them been sitting there since July?

I'm just relaying what one dealer told me. Seems like no one knows at this point. I'm sure a lot of 550 buyers were told they would be delivered much earlier than they really were. I know of someone else who has their G63 at the port and is supposed to be delivered by December.

Thanks for posting your build, haa!
So, if I took delivery of your awesome (to put it mildly!) 2019 G63 ED1 where I live, including WSST (10.2%), plus EFW 7/100 ($7,100) and A/B service 4/50 ($2500), the grand total would be $204,471. Realistically, I bet I've probably left some $'s out, too, that I am inadvertently overlooking. Certainly might be able to whittle away at the EFW and A/B costs, of course. But hey, once we are in this arena, that's pretty much chump change.
My 2019 G63 will be a little bit less coin, coming in at a grand total of $197,142, including all of the goodies (sales tax, EFW, and prepaid A/B service) I added into your configuration, haa.
I can tell you for sure, my off-roading fun with a nearly $200k vehicle will not be happening. The factory stock equipped, high speed 149 mph, low profile tires (with the Z10 package) on the factory AMG 22-inch gangsta rims, will not be replaced with any rubber of the ilk of big huge BFG mudders. Any imaginary 4x4 rock crawling on my part will be strictly limited to my reservation demand needs, which I'd guess is true for 99% of all G63 owners, unless the vehicle is 3+ years old, if not even older than this!

thats nuts, my price is 196k Canadian for the ed1 minus my trade of the GTR at least my dealership is not selling it for more than retail. Going to have to spend the extra 5k for the brush guard though. Didn’t have a chance to put it on there pre build. Was never an option heh

Are you buying it for MSRP Canadian? If so, then you guys have way lower G pricing than we have here in USA. My price I listed for my G63 is USD$ MSRP, with zero markup.

Per my dealer who provided me with the MSRP sheet. Not aware of any delays in releasing the 2019 G63 beyond the certification process. My car will be arriving to port in Baltimore. He expects my car which is going into production next week to be delivered by the end of December.

My feeling is that it’s all speculation at this point. Over the last week MB has posted several items on their Instagram page featuring G63. In several comments from followers asking when their car would be released MB responded in a few cases saying it would happen by the end of this year

If that is true on a next year release, then someone on here is welcome to my car as I will be canceling the order. Iridium silver on black all options checked.

Well, look at the upside, glass half-full aspect of this G63-freeze dilemma. Those of us who have recently placed G63 orders previously were anticipating delivery of a MY2019 G63 about August/September 2019. Happily, we can now possibly look forward to having our orders automatically bumped into MY2020 G63's! Production of MY2019 G-wagons in Austria will probably stop about June 2019. I'm right on the ragged cusp of things, as production of my recently ordered G63 (2 weeks ago) will be about June 2019, best case. So, hopefully, if my order for a 2019 G63 gets auto bumped into a MY2020, my delay for a MY2020 G63 will be extremely minimal, given that my MY2019 G63 would have otherwise delivered in August/September 2019. I would guess my bumped out MY2020 G63 would possibly be delivered about late Oct 2019, maybe early Nov 2019. No big deal, as this would only be a few short months of difference, for an all-new model year, vs/ buying "last year's" 2019 model, baby! The 2020 G-wagon may (fingers tightly crossed!) have the beautiful new MBUX system with touch screens, just like the new 2020 GLE will have. The roof mounted MBUX cameras automatically determine if the driver's vs/ passenger's fingers are approaching the MBUX screen, and are highlighted accordingly. Check this phenomenon out on YouTube videos featuring the 2020 GLE. As your finger approaches the 12.3 inch MBUX screen, the appropriate targeted icon on the screen automatically highlights. Very cool, and handy. The 2020 GLE MBUX (which will eventually make its way into the G) is even better than the new A-Class MBUX. If MBUX hopefully does become available on 2020 gwags, perhaps at least on the upscale G63, the extra little short wait will be well worth it, IMHO. It's almost unbelievable that MY2019 gwags are stuck with Mercedes now long in the tooth COMAND system. Check out the kluged-up mess of trying to navigate through your music using the ancient COMAND system, especially with its non-touch screen paired with your iPhone Xs Max. Kind of like using DOS to navigate your iPhone. Not so good, but this is IMHO, JM2C, and YMMV.

You sound as frustrated as I have been. Much as I have been looking forward to purchasing the vehicle it’s also a time sensitive thing as I’m in desperate need of the tax write off. If MB chooses to release their car week or two after the new year I have to guess they’re royally screwing a large group of buyers.

Just write it off anyway, you can explain it as a delay to your field auditor (if that ever occurs). You can always negotiate a way lower number anyway (just have to appeal - the IRS wants it off their desk) So no ones screwed, ain't America Great!

If it is indeed a next year release then it makes plenty sense to wait and go with a MY20 car. If I were to bet the new G won't see the MBUX system for another 2-3 years.

Is one way to find out if i'm right or not. I've been on this forum for a while now and never put fake info.

Earlier this morning the largest volume G dealer in the United States told me unequivocally that last week MB acknowledged to them that the G63 would be released by years end. Obviously anything is subject to change but that’s the last official word they received from the manufacturer.

Come guys, we all know why they are holding up the new G63s. They are trying to move out the stock of 2018 G63s of course. Bentley did the same thing with the Bentayga.
The 2019s are complete redesigned and a huge change, yet the pricing is close to the same as the older models. Who is going to buy the old model for approximately the same money if a new model is available?

Yup, you may be on to something here, Sarlox. The 2019 G550 base msrp is $124,500, juxtaposed to the 2018 G550 base msrp was $123,600. The delta is not even 1%, just 7/10's of 1%. Then too, compare the 2 vehicles. Literally a night and day difference.

Yeap, it's a dance right now, but that's ok, they should be given some leeway in order to get the best ROI and keep providing constant upgraded awesome vehicles for us car nuts to enjoy and better our time on this rock

No more MB:(
Not sure that is allowed on the Section 179 write off, vehicle has to be put in service that year. Has anyone heard if bonus depreciation will stay for 2019?
If it is indeed a next year release then it makes plenty sense to wait and go with a MY20 car. If I were to bet the new G won't see the MBUX system for another 2-3 years.
