I ordered the car back in October (from Garin at Mercedes of Catonsville) and I was just told that it should be available at the very end of April. That may be optimistic, but even if I'm driving it sometime in May, that will be fine. The specs: Dakota Brown, black leather, multi-media, heated/vent seats, parking asst, drivers asst, chrome door handles, destination & delivery for a list price of $80,495. I paid $74,157 plus taxes and tags. As soon as I pick it up, it goes for clear bra/film and ceramic sealant at Parabolical Autoports in Columbia, MD.

You were able to order one to spec for a little over 7.5% discount?

ppodell

Yes. It also includes free loaner cars whenever mine is in for maintenance and free car washes. I was originally looking at the European Delivery discount but it wasn't available at that time. They worked with me to do better than that 5% discount and no delivery/destination fees or the MB Star Program. It was a cash deal with a down payment with the order. They are a pretty big dealer in the Baltimore Washington area. Garin Turin was very easy and quick to work with.

Tks and congrats!

Just going through the paperwork, It was a straight 7% off the MSRP and removal of the transport and delivery fees which are not charged with European delivery.

That's a great deal. Are all the GLC63's built in Europe?

I contacted 2 dealers in LA that I bought cars from and they are charging MSRP.

Perhaps the delay and late arrival of the 18's have dealers looking for buyers for their previously sold 18's.

Sincity

They are charging MSRP on orders.

Im hearing the same thing after visiting several dealerships here in SoCal. This is after previously purchasing a vehicle from one of them. One sales advisor told me that California is its own market and that AMG badged cars move here easier (no discount) than elsewhere. My response was that I didnt have a problem going out of state to save money.

The 63's delay has actually led to wandering eyes. I've read that a BMW X3 M is in the works and may be seen, this fall, as a 2019 model. After checking out the X3 M40i and being impressed by its tech and overall design vs the GLC 63, I may jump on the "full M" version once it's out. Especially after being disappointed by the 63's delayed release and high asking price here in SoCal.

My sales rep keeping the same discount on my 2019 delivery

Sincity

Would you mind sharing which dealership and the discount?

Sincity - I would suggest that you send a PM to Shahul on the forum if you are looking to order a GLC63. He is extremely responsive and very fair and up front all around.

pk9394

send you PM

Sincity

Just Did. Tks.

Also, tks pk9394.

Did you mean: Garen Tuniev?

ppodell

I was told that it's in port and that I should be sitting in the driver's seat by the end of April. It's been a 5 month wait on the US launch, but at least I'll be one of the first to have one. And at an 8% discount off of the MSRP. Thank you Gaurin (Mercedes of Catonsville) in Maryland).

Sincity

Is his name "Gaurin" or "Garen Tuniev?"

Deal # 344250 Garen Tuniev

Tks!

What's the delay on the GLC63? I test drove a 43 and was pleasantly surprised. I want to see how the 63 will perform now.

pk9394

they only make very small batch of 2018 63 shipped to the state. 2019 is their main release year. If you are lucky you may find 2018 63 in the dealer soon and some may already have one or two in the lot. call them to see they will let you test drive. most likely the car will be sold fast.

If you follow the GLC63 instagram account for recent posts and updates, you will find a few posts to a UK delivery. About 6 plus minutes in to the linked video below, you will see a black GLC63S delivered. I hope I added the link correctly.

i'm bummed we can't get the 63S in the suv platform, but only in the coupe.
