2014 GL350 ordered
Deciding when to place an order a 2014 GL350
Trying to decide when to place an order a 2014 GL350. Sounds like they are taking orders now but 350's won't be delivered until Oct. If I got a July slot I'd rather not have my car sitting in the sun for months waiting for inventory build up and CARB to pass testing. I wonder how fast slots are being booked up in Bay Area, California to time my build for the least amount of time sitting in a lot.

You build what you can ship/bill to dealers - GL350 production will most likely start mid-September for October release upon regulatory approvals.
Earlier production will be fully booked with gassers.

Because your FL SA either doesn't know any better - or is being told incorrect info from his management - you got misinformed once, that's on you, but sticking with those same people seems at little like leading with your chin doesn't it ?
If the dleaer has a factory PO - that's a confirmed order and info can be discreetly checked - no PO, then that is chit-chat to tie you up.. I would suspect there "might" be something hanging open with another dealer in striking distance, you might broaden your horizon a bit and check..
