I spoke with an Atlanta-based dealer this weekend who just received their first GLCs. Salesperson said no money down, well-equipped (47-48k) looking at probably around 650-700/month for a lease. Said that could be a couple hundred bucks cheaper next year, for instance, during their Summer Event.

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.

There are no lease deals unfortunately. Model is way too new. I agree, six months from now will be much better. I leased a 63k e350 for 635 / month two years ago no cap cost down payment. A 57k glc was quoted 740/ month (priced reduced to invoice of 53.5). So a 5k MSRP cheaper car at $100 more per month.

A gaggle of MB's
Well... Mercedes included the GLC on the 5-month loyalty accelerator for those existing Mercedes lease/purcahse customers that want to pull ahead.. and frankly MF for the GLC is about the same MF as for lower priced CLA's/GLA's .. so I would say select 1st adopters have decent opportunity.. my daughter picks up her GLC tmrw moving from her 2015 E-Class, picking up $3K in payment credit early .. GLC what she wanted - P1, Pano, Surround-View/Parking Assist, upgraded Headlights, Heated Seats - what she wanted in her GLC was MSRP $46.5K.. ce la vie... she's fine...

IF, for example, park assist is causing the delay in my car being built, and I'm ok living without park assist, THEN I will buy a car the dealer has in stock today.
Buy a car today vs waiting two months or more.
Do you understand that course of action I've described or should i re-word it yet again? As a precaution, I've begun drafting another post using story boards and animation in case you still don't follow me

I agree and would like to know, just in case some options are delayed and could be holding GLC's up.

That isn't what this thread was about to begin with but sure I get what you're saying. The problem is that no one here knows anything, it's nothing but a hotbed for misinformation and confusion. Why not ask the dealership and get the facts right? Do you not get that?
