I have not heard from my dealer and it the G550 still shows in transit on their web site but I seems they should get it any day now depending on how long it stays in port (Brunswick); the dealer is about 150 miles south.
Bob, have you not seen your G yet? I would assume it should be there by now, has been in Florida since the 25th.
Not yet, it still shows in transit on the Sanford Mercedes web site, which is were it is going. If anyone is interested in a Platinum Magno G550 with Blue/Black leather (MSRP $152k) let me know and I will talk to the SA about passing along the same deal. My wife wants to wait for the Desert Silver one that is being built at the end of June, unless she changes her mind when she sees it!
About an hour south of me. And I just got a call from the dealer that it is being released to the transporter and should be at the dealer tomorrow so we will try to get there on Saturday to see it. Here is the build in case someone is interested:
It's a beauty, you're going to have a hard time passing it up I'd say. That color is sharp!!!!!!
It is! The interior is a little different though from the Desert Silver one that is coming in a couple months though as this one does not have the diamond stitched seats or 2 tone dash so inside will not be as nice. It is all up to my wife: she let me pick the Porsche color so this one is for her!
Yeah, and it will basically be hers anyway; however, it gets customized MY way! New G63 wheels & exhaust, emblems, tint, etc. and she will be very happy!
Still sitting in port in New York. I don't think I'm ever going to get this thing.
Bremerhaven Germany to Veracruz Mexico to Brunswick Georgia to Jacksonville FL to Baltimore Maryland to Philadelphia PA to New York NY...
It left Germany in April and I still have no ETA to Halifax. No idea if there will be more ports between New York and Halifax either. Been a frustrating exercise tracking this ship.
With NY just starting to reopen I would expect that to be the reason - the Gov just started allowing non-essential construction/manufacturing elsewhere in the State.
How do you gentleman track your orders? Is there a Specific website you enter the PO#? Also if my car is being built in July, how long is the build time (1-2-3 weeks?) and then how long is usually from there to USA (I live in East Coast). Realistically, will I be getting the car in September / October if it's being built in July?
We ask our dealers for tracking info based on PO#s - there is no site a consumer can enter one. It only takes a few days at most to build one since all the parts are on hand before the process starts, and my dealer just had one that took 1 month to get here in Florida from the time it was built, which is dependent on ship availability, etc., so it could wind up being 6-8 weeks.
You may get yours before mine. 2nd week of June and mine isn't even in my country yet. Left late April and just getting to Boston. Almost lost the excitement for me at this point. I'm sure that will return once my dealer says it's here but tracking this ship has been painful, almost wish I didn't track it. This is currently.
