GLE 450 build time?
Attached is the build I am looking to order, plus DA2 Driver Assistant package (for some reason MBUSA.COM lets me check that package but does not update MSRP or reflect it in the saved build). Anyways, the dealer is saying it can take up to 5 months to build as he wants to seal the deal ASAP, totally understandable. However, my objective it to get the car delivered around December - what is the expected lead time for this build? 3 months, 4 months?

Thank you Ron. If I understood you correctly the exact build time is not known, but given that this is a 450 model it could take up to five months?
Is there a chance this build could be done in three months or less? Just trying to gauge the time here, I understand it’s an art not a science :-)

GLC 450
Even the dealers don't know, my 450 was scheduled to be built and delivered in 3 months (May) by last month it had been pushed back to December with no guaranties. I was very fortunate, when I said I would cancel and buy an X5 they offered me a fully UK loaded 450 which was ordered last November for the dealer principal and had just arrived at the dealers (2 weeks ago). To get a car in 3 months I would imagine would be impossible and the dealers are just guessing when they will get GLE'S especially 450's.

Feeling really miffed now. Just had a call from Inchcape saying my ETA is now 7th January due to production issues. Not sure what I will do yet but I feel a cancellation coming on. 
Originally given August build the pushed back until October now January seems too long to wait.

Ordered black leather trim and open pore black wood trim both standard in UK. They have given me no indication what the hold ups are.

On order GLE 450 AMG Premium Plus, 22" Wheels, Offroad Package
As of yesterday I was quoted December/January delivery for a 450 but that was "best possible" case. As it turns out like PHILAMG I have been lucky as the dealer had one on order to the spec and even the colour I wanted - arrives in 7-10 days ! ! ! !
