Which dealer are you dealing from and what's your build ?
My Build 2016 GLC300 4Matic
Polar White with Silk Beige
Premium Package
Premium Plus
Led Lights
We ordered from mb downtown toronto, thats what the sales told us the car was in halifax. We originally wanted to test drive it first but my wife couldn't wait! The sales mentioned its in halifax, we are lucky to find one.
The build has most what we liked.
Diamond Silver, premium, premium plus, led, amg sports, head up display.
I think I likr beige interior better but my wife is fine with black. I really wanted the burmester though... hopefully the sound system is acceptable.
Great to know its on the train! Any idea when you can pick it up?

It's HERE! Just got the call from my dealer and our GLC is at the dealership, going through their PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) process. It will be ready for us to see and test drive this afternoon. We'll be taking delivery either tonight, or tomorrow!

Now that's a Thanksgiving Present!!

I just got a call from my dealer today as well saying my car is in. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow.
I'm going in for a test drive now to see how i like it. FYI, I was able to get a company Fleet discount of $1K on top of the price.

Congrats! I got a really good deal. They ate the remaining 7 lease payments of $752/month on the current 2012 E350 Coupe. About 10% off MSRP. Free Ceramic Nano Tinting and free all season floor mats. Not bad for a brand new, one of the first to be delivered in the US GLC's.

Unfortunately, due to the volume of GLC's they got in this morning, our GLC won't make it through PDI until sometime tonight, so we'll be seeing and buying it at 10:00 AM tomorrow morning. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Congrats on your GLC. What state are you in? I just went to a dealer in the San Francisco Bay Area today and they said they won't have a GLC until mid December. I am very interested in your discount as that seems like an awesome deal compared to what the dealer was offering to me.

Florida and if your dealer says they won't have any until Mid-December, there's something wrong there. GLC's are now flowing throughout the US to dealers.

Did you take delivery of your car yet? Did you end up getting 10% off MSRP? What options did you end up getting?

Sorry to ask, but did you had to negotiate for the fleet discount? On the MBUSA fleet site, the GLC is the only model in the whole line listed as N/A. I'm interested as I qualify for that. I didn't negotiate my car yet and have not heard yet from my dealer yet.

I did not have to negotiate. Once the car came in that i ordered he said I was eligible to receive the Fleet discount, I filled out the form and that was it. I picked it up today, and it looks and drives great.

Dash

Anyone else notice Rbrlaw's pictures (thank you!) of the dash. Seems like it has no chrome surround or eyeball like look as in many of the other photos out there. Maybe I am crazy but it just caught my eye. Also the linden wood looks like a gloss back.

can someone get me up to speed: what is the hold up on deliveries?

we were expecting Nov delivery and have been told it's now Jan or so. Our dealer said it was a production issue of some kind. Is it that or a port issue of some kind?

You are correct. The instrument binnacle does not have a chrome surround in the GLC. And the Linden Wood is glossy. It's darker than I expected, but very nicely dones.

None of us know for sure what was holding them up. Rumor was that the EPA was holding them up making sure MB wasn't fudging emissions tests like VW. Whatever was holding them up has been solved and many of us who had cars waiting at the port starting taking delivery today. They are indeed flowing in. If you ordered some time ago, there's no reason you should be hearing January.

That's very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to give me that synopsis

You will never know what the hold up was, so why worry about it? It's matterless in the grand scheme of things.

My point in asking is that some customers' cars are built sitting at the port. Others, like myself, have had their build date moved quite a bit (Nov to Jan 10). Is either situation owed to a known reason? If it's emissions testing, totally out of our hands. Nothing we can do. If it's an option I spec'd that is causing a delay in my build date, it would be good to know that so I can consider cars not equipped with x, y or z.
