I did place a deposit on my order though, so hopefully that safeguards it.

do you mean that instead of it just being outright cancelled that it would be delayed to MY21?

RyanNeu

Is there a specific way I should go about finding out about the specifics for my situation/build? I feel like the people at the dealership are clueless. that, or they just dont want to deal

superswiss

Yes. I just amended my post in case you haven't seen it. Have you asked the dealer if they have an allocation? They can also tell you if the order gets accepted by the factory.

superswiss

The dealership is pretty much the only entity that can tell you the status of your order.

RyanNeu

Noted. I haven't asked about an allocation or an acceptation of my order by the factory. I will reach out to them ASAP.

Thank you, I appreciate all your help!

Regarding orders and units produced in Germany, I had an order for an E63s WITH deposit and all ED paperwork completed in Feb and on April 20th when German production resumed my ED/dealer rep called an said my order was canceled. This is different for several reasons, not the least of which it's a difference class car and production facility but probably most importantly the E Class is changing over to facelifted 2021 cars and my build was scheduled for last week and ED the second week of June. So if there isn't a FL planned for the C Class I'd expect all one would need to do to get their spec'd car is have a little patience.

Has anyone who had a build date prior to the factory closing down, received a new build date since the factories have reopened?

aviator787

My build was for June and cancelled no other date given but at the earliest seems to be fall if the plants don't close again given the pandemic situation

I placed my order on Feb 17, that was originally slated to be build mid-April.

After the factory restart, that has now changed to mid-July.

I wonder why mine has been cancelled all together?

Have you spoken with any of the factory-owned Mercedes dealers?

aviator787

How do I find those in the Quebec Montreal region?

S4VT

I don't know which, if any, Montreal dealers are factory-owned. However the Toronto-area dealers that trade under the name "Mercedes-Benz Toronto Retail Group" (https://www.mercedes-benz-toronto.ca/) are factory dealers. Maybe call them and ask?

Having originally been told my 2020 GLC 43 order had been cancelled and i would have to wait until late in the year for a 2021 model - got a message from Dealer today saying we have a production allocation for July for a 2020.

Awaiting confirmation.................

aviator787

I was told that some of these cancellations have to do with dealer allocations and if I would have gone to right dealer the build would not have been cancelled or at least it would have been postponed with a new date.

amg43mb

That makes sense. My dealership used an existing allocation for a GLC300 and changed that order to my GLC43 build.

aviator787

I got screwed then. Not cool.

For those that still have a build under way, have you received any recent updates, or any recent deliveries?
I am getting inpatient and also thinking that I will get a 2020 model when the 2021's will be available to order in the not so distant future.
I placed my order early this year and had to wait for a dealer allocation to be available, last I heard is that it would be build by the end of May.

Nothing from my SA except my order was put in when I checked last month. I ordered on 3/14 right before everything shutdown so expecting July delivery.

You're right on being impatient and model 2021 will be in production soon... if i don't get it by August, just gonna cancel and re-negotiate or ask for more discounts given year end.

RyanNeu

I was just notified that my C300 build (order placed late April) got updated from MY20 to MY21. Claims it should still get here by August.

porchetto

Reached out to my sales person yesterday to get an update. Last he told me on 5/11 was that car would complete production end of month so I was hoping to hear that car is on its way to the US. Unfortunately the news he gave me is that according to distributions, car will go into production end of this month!!

It will still be a 2020 model. I am so tired of this wait. I placed my order back in December '19. Had to wait for dealer allocation, COVID-19, matte paint shortage......aghhhh

aviator787

My build was scheduled to be started this month but dealer told me it was cancelled with no reason. I think it was bcuz of dealer allocation.
Also you say matte paint shortage? As I ordered the magno also 🤔

Loc

after few more following up with my SA, finally got the production schedule to start in July with end of August or Sept delivery. I told him if by then we'll need to re-negotiate cuz it's near the end of 2020 model.

porchetto

Got an update today from dealer, my 63s has been built and it is ready to be shipped to the United States! I was very happy to hear this news.

amg43mb

Congrats porchetto! Mine is supposed to be build July 11-20, fingers crossed.
