Hi

Looking to build a G63. Does anyone have allocation? Would rather not pay a markup if possible but okay if there is no choice

SLC4S

Markups are skyrocketing due to recent news that there will likely be no G63 for 2022. I've offered 11 dealers MSRP +$30k in the last 2 days and most dealers are marking up between $60k and $100k. I found one that will do a deal for $50k over. Liklihood of finding an existing allocation for a 2021 build is nearing zero. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but its rough out there.

Please read the threads in the post at the top of this forum regarding MB's suspension of 2022 V8 models. Your chance of getting a business class flight out of Kabul is more likely.

I like your humor.

see other posts… no allocations are available for 22 and if you find one for 21 model year, you will need to pay at least 50k ADM.

I hope you are right… my dealer isn’t sure and does not want to speculate.

Dealer got final allocation on Friday and I was taken off of the list going into production in December. Problem is what I configured is nothing like what I am getting according to the build sheet the dealer sent me. Dealer says she thinks most of what I ordered is unavailable since mine is late December production which is why they dropped the mango paint, manufaktur leather, night package etc..

Can this be right?

I’m getting a very basic G63 and am pissed.

There is some truth about magno being limited for each round of allocations, but I haven't heard of the leather or night package being limited.

Are you going to keep the 2020 and flip the new one?

I ran into a similar situation last week. The night package plus is not available on certain colors.
I was able to select just about everything I wanted except the night package plus.
IF I were purchasing a G550 instead, there were many more options that weren’t available.
it’s a shame you can’t get what you want given your probably paying a stiff premium.

I am having a similar issue. I placed my order in January. My dealer says I am “next in the order bank” but doesn’t want to guarantee it will come before December. Not offering much info, has anyone else had this issue? Does he not want to make false promises or not know anything

If you don't have a PO by now you aren't getting a car. No more allocations are coming for the 21's.

If your dealer placed an order the dealer system allows the dealer to track that order until the car is built and shipped. I placed an order in September and have followed the process through my sales rep through today. My G just went "red" (no changes allowed) and has a third decade build date in November (third week)." False promises" is a "false statement" from your dealer. Time to move on (unfortunately, you won't find an allocation now). Good luck.

I think it hasn’t gone into production but is next to do so at their dealership. He does not want to say it will this year because he is not sure. This is such an annoying situation! Thank you for your insight.

There’s still hope. I’m not sure exactly how it works but I was “on the list” like you until a few days ago when I finally got my PO# from the dealer. According to my saleswoman, that was the last round of allocation they got so I was lucky.

pdeacon

If it doesn't go into production by December 31st it won't be built. Your dealer should be able to give you a build date since you ordered so long ago. The dealer software should have your name assigned to an allocation. My dealer sales rep has shared the screen with me and it is quite detailed. It is probably restricted to internal use only because it shows all orders and allocations across the entire product line for that particular dealership. I have been doing business with this dealership for many years and this is my third G (among many other cars) so I'm sure I receive different treatment. Never been charged an admin fee. At this stage of the game, based on your initial order date, you should definitely be able to get a build date from the dealer. Good luck.

After seeing your post, I thought I should check in with my dealer today. Sure enough, same exact thing happened to my build. I was so excited after getting my PO# last week, with a build scheduled for 12/1 and now it looks I’m going to have to settle for something I don’t want or wait till they start producing the ’23s. He’s trying to see if there’s anything that can be done but doubtful.

We tried running through a few different build alternatives but it looks like there’s no more Night Black Magno, no Night Package 1 and no diamond stitching available for the rest of the ‘21 builds.

So bummed after being so close.

All this is hardly surprising. It will be interesting to learn once production ends at year-end how many vehicles built in 4Q21 deviate from build spec. I'm guessing MB is using up as much parts inventory as possible, and most builds will be affected.

nshardware

Are you saying you car was specified the way you wanted it and the MB changed it?

jamesszzz

Yes. Was going to keep the 2021 and flip the 2020 but not anymore.

There are (20) G63's for the US that are still "Scheduled" for December 10-20 Production.

Each of these are still "Green" meaning open to Factory Changes - any Dealer Change Request are subject to Graz/Factory acceptance.

I was at my dealership today for A service and they had one G class (not AMG) sitting on the showroom floor with a sold sign. My rep told me when the vehicle came in, management said $50K over list- no negotiation. They got their price and it is just waiting for the buyer to pick it up.

call your dealer immediately and try again. Some of the options went through when we tried again yesterday evening. Upgraded leather included thankfully!

In any case, it is very important to have the support of a lawyer or attorney.

fabbrisd1

A Lawyer or Attorney for what ?

Car Production Down 70%+ Reported World-Wide - heck be grateful there are SOME cars being built/delivered.

1. Vehicle Not Available - deposit refund on customer request

2. Customer Does Not Accept Updated Delivered Price - deposit refund on customer request

3. Attorney Calls Dealer - deposit refund upon attorney's request.

OK - you got the deposit refund - what's next on your Plan ?
