My build is scheduled for between November 10 and November 20. They anticipate it should be before the end of the year.

Mine was built the last 10 days of August in Bremen and I picked it up from the dealer on Sept. 20. When ordering, see if they have cars in line to be built for the dealers allotment, which can be changed. Quicker that way.

Yes, it is faster if one can find closely matching/acceptable configuration... Tried that faster route, but could not find matching color and must have options that we wanted.

It took about two months from order, to delivery at local dealer. CAVEAT: This is true for cars coming from Bremen, timing may be different if production is in India, or somewhere else in the world.

Mine was a complete change from the one in line for manufacture. Ordered just as I wanted it with a bunch of options. But, it jumped to the position of the one set to be built for the dealer's stock. Saved weeks that way. All depends on timing of what is in the pipeline and if still time to change the configuration.

Mine is scheduled to be built 10/25 (ordered 2 weeks ago) and dealer says I should have it “in November”.

2019 GLC 300 - Coupe
My 19' Coupe had a total 6 month lead time from order placement to delivery date. Ordered in Early March 2018 - picked up Early September 2018.

However - a few circumstances added to the delay on mine:

- Car was on hold for a month due to Canadian Government hold for regulations clearance on the new model year - Delayed
- Original order was a MY18 - but as the build was at the cusp of the switch over - MB refused to add Night Package on the 18 and said if i wanted it - had to go with a 19 - Delayed.


But I was handsomely compensated by my dealer for the delays. (nothing on the price - but an AMAZING perk)

An absolutely amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves cars and wants to try out drifting on a frozen lake.

Last 10 days of November, if I recall my sales guy's explanation correctly.

Our 2020 Coupe was built on August 20 and we took delivery on September 20. I thought it was freaky fast, my sales manager had said we would probably get it late fall...

Almost identical to mine. It was built the last 10 days of August and I took delivery on September 20th. Would have been longer, but they had a couple in the pipeline for their allotment, scheduled for assembly in the "3d decade" of the month. Fortunately, one of those was eligible for configuration changes and they built it according to my order, instead of the original configuration. If it gets too close to the build date, they can't change it.
