Hi Guys, I ordered a 2019 GLC63 back in May and whenever I check with my salesperson , I am told it is in the order bank.
Does anyone know what this means. Is it the dealers order bank or Mercedes order bank. Unfortunately I cannot get a clear answer from the salesperson and just want to know
if they are giving me the run around, and if I should consider going to another dealer.
They did not start building 19s until June from the information I have been following. That said, if your dealer has an allocation for a September build, it would probably have started the build process (VIn allocation and all that stuff) in July. They can at least send you the printout of your allocation if they do have it.
I am buying an October allocation from my dealer because I wanted to build it a specific way and their August allocation was already in process in June. The build sheet that was sent to me to show my order build has the expected date at the top. I looked at it today and it indicates October expected build and I believe August start of build process. Based on that, with shipping, I would be getting it in November.
What your dealer means is that they've requested a build for a GLC63 (your order) - but they have NOT been allocated a unit - meaning that your order has not been filled and as of right now, you have no car.
The dealer may get an allocation, but that is not guaranteed. If they do get an allocation, it will be spec'd to fit your order request and will then begin it's schedule of processing and building.
But to answer your question - no, your car has not been built, they've merely requested that it be built. You will not know until they know. Even then, you're looking at waiting several months before production begins.
Yea..seems that way...
I do have a changeable on order btw... with an actual PO
