This dealer sounds like if is really messed up. They are really not on top of things. I am amazed they are still in business.

Is there another dealership you can go to after delivery? I would not be going back there. Might want to consider talking to a regional rep with Mercedes. They should not be representing Mercedes.

+1 once you get the car, I would definitely take it somewhere else for service.

I just remembered something that might be relevant to JEVA ... I recall when I placed our order and put down our deposit that the sales manager said that cars that were customer order cars were treated differently than cars simply destined for dealer allocations. He used the term "priority one" to designate customer order cards, but that might have just been his lingo. He said priority one cars were handled differently logistically and tended to move more quickly through the shipping cycle whereas the regular allocation cars tended to have more logjams. If this is true, I wonder if it could be that they never designated JEVA's car as a customer order car, and is therefore moving less quickly through the system?

My car was ready today... So the ship came to Long Beach port Tuesday morning and the car was at the dealer and ready 48 hours later.. Pretty FAST!

I'll post some pics in the pic thread but here is a teaser below.. And we happen to be getting rain in Los Angeles today. What drought?! Lol

I agree. When I ordered my car. I was told there was 3 priorities for cars. Sold cars were priority one and were handled different from other cars. My dealer showed me this on NetStar with my car.

Yeah heard same thing. Sold cars go first and I saw the computer and mine was marked as sold in NetStar.

That car look hot Dee, congrats. Can't wait to see more!

There was something more going on with mine but no one seems to have an answer yet. Other than giving me an explanation (which I'm told is coming), all of my expectations I set forth have been met (basically the car is en route) although the compensation piece has not been acknowledged but not quantified. Supposedly they are working with MB to figure that out. Why they can't make an executive decision is beyond me but so far par for the course so it doesn't surprise me.

Anyone able to track if the marguerite ace made it to BAL none of the site have updated and it should have arrived 24 hours ago.

When we were tracking my wife's X1, it took a few days for the tracker to update to show that the ship was in port. In fact, halfway across the pond, updates stopped altogether. I thought they would resume once near the coast but no. Not sure if this is typical or not but with mine finally inbound, I'll get to watch another ship and see.

Updates depend on website used and whether they are using satellite tracking or land based tracking systems

"16 GLC300 4Matic , '13 GL450 4Matic
Ordered the wife a sweet GLC300 that should be about 70 days away.

Selenite Gray Metallic
Designo Black Leather Package
Interior Package
Lighting Package
Multimedia Package
Premium Package
Driver Assistance Package
Pano Sunroof
Heated Steering Wheel
Rear Camera
18 5 spoke wheels
MB-Tex covered dashboard
Running Boards

Our problem is, we want the black AMG wheels shown in the pic I will attach. I can't find anywhere any that will fit the GLC300 with the right offset. We didn't like the black accent wheels as much. I also wanted to find in 18 inches so I wouldn't have to buy new tires.


Any thoughts? Thanks.
Matt

I ordered mine on 02.25. To start with, dealer modified his stock order of 02.10. I can see two major updates - PRIORITY SET TO 1 and SCI SET TO (C)LIENT which ties to what richmond said and priorities regarding delivery and maybe production as well.

Mine was B0 on 03.10, B1 on 03.29 and B3 on 04.04

GLC300
Just got word that ours is to start production on Apr. 15th. Given 35 days transit to the west coast, US, I'm assuming we'll take delivery in mid June. Sound about right?

My build date was March 3. Add 35 days and you get April 7. My car is on the MARGUERITE ACE, due Long Beach April 30: more like 58 days. There was, however, about a week delay in the English Channel waiting for the weather.

A bit off topic but while I'm waiting for my car...My wife picked up her new X1 this week. I wasn't that thrilled about it at first but it's a pretty hot little car. They find a bigger engine to put in there and it could be seriously fun. Anyway, it looks very sharp.

That's the reason I'm moving to a MB. The interior of the new BMWs are unchanged from my 5 series which is coming up to 4 years old. When I get a new car I want it to feel new, that's something I can't get with BMW 4 years on.
