Have you checked to see that you are actually getting the heads up display? I order HUD and as it turns out they lack supply to actually build in the HUD, and so no HUD in my actual build.

I was at the order desk when the order went in, was told if it accepted it we would get it. I would have expected to have been told by now if we didn't get it since it has been built and is on the way.

Glad you got it. I had an order sheet with hud on it and was contacted later that they could not supply it. Disappointing to order something to get exactly what you want and then not ge it that way. It wasn’t a dealer breaker, but i know it will nag at me that I don’t have it.

I was on a October build which had HUD. my dealer could not add HUD to anything else that it was not already earmarked for. He randomly tried in on an September build right after dropping it off another car and it took. So I was moved to the September build. here we all are in November. I do have HUD but I have no car

I am seeing the same thing happening with bmw. Costumers have there new ordered x5s sitting in the back lots of dealers awaiting release from the manufacture.
It seems to me the consumer would be more important to the manufactures if they want to keep brand loyalty.
I agree - this is getting ridiculous. The GLC 63 I have had on order has been sitting at the Long Beach VPC since the end of July (ordered end of May). Unfortunately, my SA called me at the end of July and said it would be delivered beginning of August (not very informed). Getting zero updates and when I reached out to MBUSA customer service, they referred me to the dealer. This board has been my only lifeline to any decent info. I am a first time MB customer - this is reflecting very badly on them given the absolute lack of info as to what is delaying release of the 63s. Is anyone at MBUSA listening??? If I could actually get the thing delivered, I'll post pictures!!! Thanks to susman@eurogermantown.com - seems to be the only MB salesperson who actually understands customer service!

I’ve seen a number of GLC63 on merec dealer website listed as “arriving in 4 or 5 days”.

https://www.mbrvc.com/inventory/new-...0g8jb6kf489296

Seems pretty unethical to advertise like that when they probably should know better

This is likely an automated "feature" of the dealership's website. Once the cars reach a certain status, they normally take 4-5 days to arrive at the dealership so they've gone ahead and updated their inventory list on the web.

From my Mercedes contact : We were just told by distribution that all GLC AMG will be released on November 15,2018. Once released and assigned to a transport it’s usually 3 to 5 days to arrive at the dealership.

My GLC is on the East coast port of entry. It arrived Oct 3, 2018.

Is that the 63 or the 43 or both perhaps?

My SA in Phoenix just confirmed the same for my GLC43. With a little luck, I'll be driving my car by Thanksgiving.

Fenders

Are the fenders on the GLC63 different and wider than the non-AMG versions? Or is it just the wheel offset that gives it a wider wheelbase?

Thanks,

John

They're the same across all models, but the 63 has wheel well fender flares to accommodate the wider tires.

I can tell you the rear fenders on the GLC43 are different than those on the GLC 300. I had to order mud flaps twice because the 1st set were obviously for the 300 and the contour of the flap didn't align properly.
