From the date you ordered your GL450 to getting the Build date, how long did you have to wait???

My dealer only told me my build date wouldnt be any earlier than July 1st, and even then he wouldnt or couldnt give me a build date... is this normal?? The late build date I believe is due to the rearview camera option.

when did you place your order? seems july 1st is rather fast if you ordered it recently. I placed my order 5/12 and received july 15 build date(could be due to rearview camera). takes about 2 days to assemble and a week+ for shipping. should be about 2 weeks for delivery from build date given. btw, i ordered the same options less distronic and trailer hitch but in white.

Ordered 5/18. The dealer told me I should receive it by the end of July. Although without a build date, I'm not expecting it untill some time in August. I'm hoping July, but who knows.

Well I emailed him, and have yet to hear back from him. I'll give them a few more days before I start calling them.

Dealer called yesterday. The vehicle is in ATL and will be delivered tomorrow (Friday) for pick up. Ticked though, can't get the PE running boards for several months it appears. Plus, distribution will not let U.S. dealers order them from Canadian dealers.

Still exicited about having the vehicle for the weekend though.

You ordered the PE and they won't have the PE running boards?

I see now you did not order the PE my bad. Good to us PE buyers that MB isn't allowing the PE running boards out for the standard GL. And I don't mean that to be a smartass your GL sounds like a sweet one but the appeal of the PE to me is not everyone will have one.

No offense taken. There were certain things that I just "had to have" so I ordered the standard GL, plus I wasn't really feeling the wood grain in the PE. But I do luv the running boards.

I want to add the chrome door handle inserts at some point as well.

Those should be a dealer accessory item - dealer should be able to just order them and put them on for you.
