Drives great. Picked it up, and drove along the coast today. Worth the wait

Right now I have allocation in April, built and delivered May/June.

Usually you're looking at about 90-100 days all together.

Just put together and built a GL63 last week, looking at about 90 days for build and delivery.

All this talk about 5-7 months is craaaaaaaaaaazy, unless its a much smaller dealership with no allocation. Also UK could be much different?

I don't think its crazy. It may not be a general rule but it can take that long. I ordered a GL550 in September. We now have an allocation but no build date yet and its not at a small dealership.

GL63 - Placed an order early December and as you know allocations are hard to come by. By the time I get the GL63 it will be that long if not longer.
If you are looking 90 days for build and delivery then you are probably in March or May build group which maybe hard to believe since you just "put together and built a GL63 last week"

just got a call that the car will be at the dealer next week.... about 1 month ahead of schedule... ideally I don't want to take delivery till end of February the earliest, would hate to drive it in the crappy 30+ cm snow we got.... if they are going to store the vehicle outside than I might as well have it in my driveway, will call and see where they store vehicles.

its nothing personal-- i was laughing at Fab's chuckle-
good luck with the order- its just that noone else is that certain on this forum and yes there are members here who are dealers and have access not only to netstar but all orders, allocations and build dates-
hey if you get yours in 90 days thats great- we'd all love to see it..

got in contact with the dealer today... will pick up the car in early March, they said they wont do delivery cleaning either so they dont take the foil off the car till I set up an appointment for pickup.
