Official Pricing
I configured a GLC exactly how I wanted it ordered. I sent this configuration to several different dealers for quotes. One dealer immediately responded saying that she will put in the order, however, pricing has not been established by MB. I did see pricing on a link given to me by this website. Am I correct in thinking that the pricing I saw is not official because the vehicle has not yet been officially released? What is the real story behind this car? I’ve heard that they can’t get the new screens for the car, I know that all the chips are still not available, I also heard that many dealers still have too many 2022 GLCs and need to reduce their numbers. Whatever the reason, it seems like an awkward launch for a much anticipated new car. Once fully established, it may be MB most popular vehicle in terms of unit sales. Should I be looking at July for a realistic delivery????

Based on numerous discussions with my dealer on my vehicle ordered in mid January you will not see 2023 GLCS arrive till late May/June. I am not sure of reasons for delay but I think you hit on some of them (e g. large supply of 2022s). I understand that some 2023s have been produced and are sitting at port in Germany. On pricing. Yes official pricing guide was released a few weeks ago. But dealers will not negotiate actual price till vehicle arrives at dealer due to market forces, incentives, etc. This is the case on any ordered vehicle. Let's hope MB releases them soon!!

Pricing has been announced, the dealer is just BSing because they probably don't want to offer a deal now that may end up being under market value.

I don't think dealers are going to committ to a price today on a vehicle that won't arrive for a month or 2.. market conditions change every day...

A dealer also will not and can not commit to a final price on something that does not exist, as there is no VIN. You go by the released pricing and assume that is somewhere in the ballpark. The dealer can’t know what features may have to be deletes for some reason until the vehicle is built. Otherwise, if you don’t want to order, wait to see what starts showing up and they’d be happy to have your business. The story hasn’t changed with all the times OP has asked similar questions.

GLC PRICING
I tend to agree, I’m fairly certain that the dealer can increase his allotment once the shipping begins. In a fairly short time the dealer will have inventory and be wishing he sold some at this point in the process. Yes, the individuals that must have them first will surely pay for that privilege.

All the dealers in Houston area seem to want MSRP for the 2023 GLCs.. Wondered if anyone else has actually bought one yet?

If they are scarce your dealer will benefit from a price negotiated closer to delivery, when the relative scarcity is revealed. If you can't agree on a (higher) price the dealer will have no problem selling "your" car to someone else, unless it's some bizarre configuration.
I ordered a 2023 on Friday (Dealer had to use a 'workaround' to get ordering system to recognize 2023). It's expected to arrive mid to late July. I could have ordered a 2024 for October delivery. The issue for me is that they are exactly the same car. If I ordered the 2024 I would have paid more for their's and gotten less for my 2022 GLC 300 4Matic SUV.

GLC Pricing
You are correct on parts availability of course. The screen is one, and if you look at the monroney's on '23's on dealer lots, you will very occasionally see right at the end there is a credit for parts not installed which will always be the kick-toe opener thing in the back. It's only like a $100 credit, but if that is important to you, you may not get it. The price on '24's, even though there is a guide to configure it, is still fluid. I was talking to a Utah dealer a couple days ago and she had a different price for some option than what was on the guide. And of course, the very important '24 DX1 and DX2 packages are still TBD. MB's website for the GLC is a bit of a mess as well. The '23 is still not 'buildable' on the 'build your GLC' page, showing 'coming soon' or something. Weird for a car already on lots. If, from there, you just click on 'see inventory', saying OK, I'll see what is available instead of dealing with ordering one....you just get taken to dealer inventories of '22's ...as if the '23's that are on lots don't even exist. I have to say, we have owned several BMW's, Land Rovers and so on, but no MB's, and it's kind of surprising to see someone of MB's stature that isn't maintaining it's website better as well as the oddness of such a late '23 release when everyone else got there's out on time, European, Japanese, Korean, whatever (meaning October-ish of '22). We are still focused on getting a GLC, likely a '24 order but would sure like some clarity from MB.

I agree with you. It has kind of been a circus ordering a 2023 GLC. Not sure exactly why, but looks like availability of certain parts/options may be part of it. My dealer tried to get me to sign an order that I would pay MSRP even though mine will not arrive for another 2+ months. I refused so we will see what market is in 2 months. Very Disappointing....

DC/No. Virginia market has pricing around $1500-$2000 off MSRP on in stock, or transferable vehicles. Most are Pinnacle level. Just picked one up. They also matched my CarMax offer which was 50% of what I paid for my new 2017 GLC300.
Very happy with the pricing, but loan rates are ridiculous.
