Driver Assist Plus option delay UK

Hi There

Just joined the forum, and there is some really helpful information, which is great.

I am in the UK and have ordered a GLE 350, with premium plus, Tech plus, and also Driver Assist Plus. The dealer rang today to say that if I include the Driver Assist, the delivery is pushing out until February 2020, without it I can get a new car September. I quite like the technology side, so would like the driver assist package, anyone else had this delay in adding this option to a new GLE?

Also interested in the view from anyone that has it

Many thanks

Martyn

Mine is due end of july with driver assist, heard nothing from dealer regarding delay but that's no surprise, will mail him to see what he says. Would imagine it would delay delivery in all markets not just UK.

Yes please - I only found out as I wanted to see if I could change the spec, and it came up as part of that about the delay. I am pretty sure the dealer has no reason to say that, but it woul dbe good to confirm.

Just spoke to dealer and delivery now December, started May, then June, then July. He said it wasn't due to parts availability but emissions, which I assume wouldn't effect your 350. I'm sure that the dealers haven't a clue what is going on and are guessing. Will be looking around now as I haven't a clue when I will get car.

Would be happy to wait until March for delivery as that's when pcp is up on my glc43 but have no confidence I will get it then so may have to look around.
