How long from Order Lock to Delivery?

I've got a 2014 GL450 on order with a PO# and was recently told that the vehicle was "in production" and that the order was locked so I could no longer change the options ordered. However, I do not have a VIN# yet.


How long does it typically take from now until actual completion and delivery?

Here is our experience. We got our vin number the day it went into production which was Feb 16. Car was out of production Feb 20 th and arrived at dealer this past weekend. We will be picking up this Friday. Ours is diesel.
So I would say figure about 3 weeks once in production. Of course would depend on where you are located

Your delaer can give you estimate of delivery based on confirmed PO.

Your PO# when "locked down" approx 30 days out from scheduled production "decade" which is 10 day production window - about 2 weeks out that "decade" will become a :scheduled production "date" - then into production VIN# is assigned.. etc... etc... etc
