Awesome!

My_1st_MB

We are close to the release and should start seeing vehicles being delivered to owners in the next week or two. Please start posting pics folks.

That is strange. I was told by my SA the earliest slot for 2017s will be middle of July with deliver to dealership early September????

Madman7

There's quite a few waiting at Port of Baltimore right now... They'll run out of room at the VPC if they don't start delivering them real soon. Especially mine! My dealer says likely early to mid next week.

MINDC

Yup. Mine is among those in Baltimore! So close and yet so far away! According to Vessel Tracker, my car arrived at the port on the 24th. But according to W&W, it wasn't "discharged" until 7 pm at the 26th. The "Liner Release" was 7/27 at 10 am, and five minutes later it said "Delivered from". I'm not sure what those titles mean, of course! Since then, my dealer has told me that my car will be released to the carrier today and the carrier has 2-3 business days to get the car to the dealer. However, as of the end of the work day, there has been no report that the car was actually released to the carrier. Nor has the invoice been issued, so I can't do the paperwork. (I want to do the paperwork in advance so that pickup will be faster and easier!)

I have configured a 2017 GLC300W for my wife: Lunar Blue, Silk Beige Leather, Parktronic, Leather, P02, Heated and Active Ventilated Front Seats, Panorama Roof, LED Headlights, Heated Rear Seats, Linden Wood, R31 18" Wheels, MB-Tex Dash, Rear Sunshade, Wheel Locks.

However, dealer is saying that the Burmester is REQUIRED with P02 package and that if he tries to remove it, he gets a cross validation error when submitting. The guide (which has several noted discrepancies against NetStar) shows Burmester as a standalone option.

Has anyone ordered a P02 configured car without Burmester? Can anyone validate this dependency?

We plan to pull trigger on this ASAP - my dealer is hoping for a September delivery (he already built us a car a few weeks ago with issues on options) - believe it when I see it.

You guys are great,

KLM

The latest DOG I'm aware of is dated 6/30/16, and it is not accurate. It's been noted elsewhere that P01, P02, and P03 are now $580 less than the DOG because the heated seats were pulled out of the packages and are now a standalone item.
Regarding the Burmester...a previous DOG included it in P02, but it was since removed and is now a standalone item (810, price = $850). I ordered a GLC on Monday and my build shows it that way.
I believe your SA is wrong, but he's in the ordering system so one would think he knows how to use it. It doesn't make sense that things would have changed in the four days since I ordered my car, though.

KevinMaher

Did your build include P02? and, if so, can you post it?

Thx,
KLM

For what its worth, my build includes P03 at $7,200, MB-Tex-covered dashboard at $350, 318 interior package at $1,900, 401 heated and vented front seats at $450, 413 panorama roof at $1,480, 810 Burmester at $850. They built the car according to my original order, which included P04. Had I been ordering based on the current packages, I would not have ordered the MB-Tex dashboard or panorama roof. :-( But anyway, I hope this info helps.

Hi, community!

Long time lurker, brand new member here.
A 2016 GLC 250 ordered in January, but in the end it
turned out a 2017, since it won't be delivered until December.
In the mean time, I'm leasing a CLA 220d. (like wearing a back pack).
The orders for GLC in Sweden have widely surpassed every possible expectation,
and the waiting time has therefore taken these abnormal proportions. Anyway, it
will hopefully be worth the long wait. Haven't decided on all the options, quite yet.

My_1st_MB

Wondering what is everyone doing about floor mats. I am looking for original MB all-weather mats fro front, back and cargo area. Anyone has the item numbers and the pricing ?

clarst

My build lists P03 ($7200) and has a long itemized list of individual items included in that package. I won't list them all, but they include the items from the 6/30/16 DOG from P01, P02, and P03 (with the exception of heated seats, as mentioned in my previous post).
The Burmester Surround Sound System is not included in that list--it is a separate line item on my build for $850.

My_1st_MB

Same here ...... my order has P03 ($7200) and Burmester ($850)

My_1st_MB

Any news about expected deliveries of MY 2017 ????

KevinMaher

I need someone who ordered P02 WITHOUT Burmester to prove it can be configured to my salesguy

My_1st_MB

Kevin,

AMG requires Burmester Surround (810) with P02 package. Do you think he is trying to configure an AMG for you ? Check and let us know.

KevinMaher

No, not an AMG. I have a copy of my build.

My MY2017 GLC arrived at the Port of Baltimore on 7/24, sloooooooowly worked its way through the things that happen there (customs, Vehicle Prep), and supposedly is on a truck awaiting a full load and supposedly will be delivered to my dealer tonight. I will go in on Sunday to get it.

According to my dealer, there's never been any embargo or anything related to the official August 1 release date.

Did anyone get the Garmin SD Card map with their 2017 GLC?

Madman7

Mine has been released from the VPC at Baltimore and is "awaiting transit". Since my dealer is 40 minutes away from the port, I don't expect it to take long! The issue will be whether I can find the time to pick it up with a busy week and travel ahead in work. I may not be driving it until next weekend.

New member (about 10 minutes) here in Florida. I have a question about the leather seat pricing for 2017. Sorry if this is the wrong thread.

My 2017 GLC will be at the dealer on 8/13. The dealer just sent me the MSRP, VIN, etc. My order included the P03 Premium Package and Ventilated Seats. I chose Black Leather.

The MSRP list includes:
Heated / Ventilated Front Seats (401) @ $1080.
Interior Package (318) @ $2250, which includes Leather Upholstery (20X) and the Power Passenger Seat w/ Memory (242)
Black Leather (221) @ $1620

Has anyone else seen this $1620 for 221? In 2016, 221 Black Leather was $0. I have not seen this change mentioned in the forum.

In 2016, the Interior Package (318) was $2500. All of the features have been moved in 2017 to P01, P02 or are now stand alone like the ventilated seats. The only thing MB left in the package is the Leather Upholstery. They added the nice passenger seat and the price is now $2250. In 2016 the passenger seat was $430 as a stand alone, which means that about $1820 is for the Leather Upholstery.

To me that means that they are charging $1620 for Black Leather (221) and $1820 for Leather Upholstery (20X). Is this correct? It looks like double charging for leather to me.

If this is the 2017 pricing, then so be it. I just don't like finding out about it by reading the MSRP. I just figured a change like this would have been mentioned on the forum somewhere.

When I asked my dealer, he basically told me that the 2016 GLC was so successful that MB had to change the pricing. Understood, no problem, but it still looks suspect to me.

Please let me know if others are seeing this pricing also.

Or I may be too far into the weeds with this.
Thanks!

clarst

Going by the DOG from 6/30/16, this sounds suspect to me. I don't see anywhere that black leather costs extra. This looks totally wrong to me.

The dealer saying the car was so successful that they are raising the price is also wrong--it was a very minimal increase, and the options/packages (although packaged differently) didn't go up appreciably either.

Since you are getting your car pretty early, I think it was perhaps built from a different option list/DOG than the most current one, so it's possible that's the reason...but I doubt it. I remember reading one member's new car had Package P04, which was available for a short time but was later eliminated. So, it appears MB builds the car to the options available at the time, and the sticker reflects that.

I would really question being charged that much for the leather. Something is off.

Madman7

Looks like it to me too. See the 6/30 DOG here:

https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...06.30.16_r.pdf

This shows that the option 318 (page 24), $2,250, includes 20X leather upholstery, plus the fancy powered passenger seat. The way I interpret this, "20X" is a stand-in for any of the leather upholsteries on page 19, which are listed without price. In the remaining pricing, nothing else is listed for Leather. It looks like this is an error, probably caused by numerous revisions to pricing/DOG while our cars were happily bobbing about in the Atlantic. I would challenge it.

dfcmb

Thanks clarst and Madman7!

I am going to challenge them on this. I may not get anywhere (and I really do still want the car), but if the pricing wasn't final when it was ordered then I should at least be able to argue the current final pricing. I may have to get them to build the order again just to see what the pricing is now. Interesting point about the price being locked in depending on which preliminary DOG was out. Even though none of them reference a cost for 221.

The dealer changed one of their allotment cars for me so I would get it earlier, which is great for me! They ordered it without letting me know they had done so. We had left it that we would wait for final pricing before ordering which was fine, but as far as I am concerned, I haven't signed or agreed to anything yet.

clarst

I would hope you are successful, if not at the dealership level, then at the corporate level. It's hard to imagine MB would think it fair to charge more for an option combo than the final 2017 pricing calls for. Good luck!
