I actually ordered my car way back in late June! I couldn't even select all the options at that point. We just put the order in for whatever the ordering system would take (which was not much), got the order number to reserve a build and then as things got released/clarified/priced over the following months we added in and tweaked the options and packages.

A gaggle of MB's
GLC's started to be released to carrier's today/Tues... the migration to your dealer's is in process... quite a few stacked up, will take a bit to get them peeled off and out to you.

Thanks. The VPC that serves us is only 4.5 hours away. Hopefully our car shows up quickly.

I called our sales associate Monday, he told me that a Mercedes will have a specific release date for everyone. Not sure if this is correct or not. He is not patient or forthcoming with information. So I am just trying to keep up with the scoop. I am glad we will hopefully be getting them sooner than mid December though.

For all of us who have patiently (or not so patiently) waited for our cars, there is light on the horizon.

As I posted earlier, my dealer let me know about 8:00 AM this morning that Mercedes has finally released the GLC and that they would start being delivered to dealerships across America. And the post above confirms they are now being put on trucks to head to dealers.

My dealer said Mercedes sent a bulletin on Monday indicating that the release of the GLC's to inventory will be mid-December. Did something change after Monday? And some good news my GLC shows as docked and VPC received in Baltimore!

Evidently it did as my dealer and other's are being told that Monday night, Mercedes notified them the GLC's were being released and one poster said they are now loading them on trucks to head to dealers. I guess we'll see if any actually show up this week in the flesh. My experience is once your car arrives at the port, it takes about a week to get through the VPC process, then loaded on a truck and delivered to your dealer.

The latest updates of "As the GLC Turns" got me real excited! I cannot wait to see you all, who put in your orders so long ago, start to get your GLCs and see the pictures! I only put my order in on Oct 10 and back then the dealer said I should have it in "late November" which got updated to "maybe the first week of December" at the last update I got on Nov 11. I sent a note for a new update this morning. I have some great road-trip memories with my 2013 C300 4Matic but REALLY looking forward to making new road-trip memories in the GLC (and not feeling so crammed in doing so). :-)

Big week next week
Dealer just called. My GLC will be here on Monday and we are doing the paperwork. Would have been Friday but for the Holiday.
Next week we should be seeing lots of pictures of the first arrivals. I will certainly post!
He said the trucks starting rolling this week as for some reason MB was timing December for first deliveries.

Spoke with our Sales Associate today and ours will be in on Tuesday at the latest! He didn't offer any extra goodies for our delay. He is trying to get us to come in and do paperwork before December so sales will go on November books. Not sure if that is typical. Feeling excited that we will have it soon.

I am getting more and more excited with each update everyone is getting. Cannot wait to get my update from the dealer. But of course, I REALLY don't have the same right to be anxious as other people are since I only ordered my GLC in early October.
