Factory ahead of schedule!

Got a surprise call yesterday from the dealer. My GL320 is ready to deliver....four days early. My build date was set back in late July when I made my deal...with an October 8 build date (...a Monday!).
Well turns out the factory was running four days ahead of schedule last week and my vehicle was built on Wednesday the 4th.....
So those of you still waiting....good luck, you may get a surprise call too!!

Hopefully, this is good news for Dodson, Wordsmith, and S550 & GL550. I know they are all anxiously awaiting their 550's.

I have been praying to the MB Gods! Please! Please! Please!
We spoke to the dealer on Monday, and he didn't know, said he wouldn't get an update until next Monday. We will wait and see.
