GLE 450 Delivery Times

MBUSI is Cleaning Up the 30 Thousand!
What city did you order from? Long Island, NY
When did you order? November 30, 2018
When did you take delivery? I never took delivery, but my original PO# (including E-ABC and everything else available!) was delivered to a dealer in New England on December 16, 2019!!
How did that compare to your expected date when you placed your order? Originally, the order went into production first decade February 2019 and then disappeared somewhere in a field outside of Tuscaloosa.
On July 5, 2019 I placed a new order from Long Island, NY (including E-ABC and everything else available!) and that build was delivered to me on October 18, 2019.
I am glad I waited for the GLE450W4 with all the goodies ... it's a great vehicle, but without a sympathetic and fantastically supportive dealer, I would likely have given up and bought an X5!!

Yep, a supportive and professional dealer makes all the difference. I continue to work though matters with mine, but the holiday got in the way.

Sales Manager of the dealership told me that he sells 20 GLE350s for every GLE450! Mine is one of 2 GLE450Ws he has sold with E-ABC. He would sell more 450s if he could get the allocation from MBUSI.

What city did order from? Columbia, MO
When did you order? July 12
When did you take delivery? October 25
How did that compare to your expected date when you placed your order? Very surprised because my SA texted me on Oct 14th to update me on the production date being moved back to Nov 4th
Then 11 days later a text and a picture of my GLE being unloaded off the truck!

HI ... We ordered our GLE 450 in mid September with a projected delivery time of late Nov. / early Dec 2019.... Still waiting... now projected Late March/ Early April... The story is that the GLE 450 Engine is the same at the GLS which is taking priority for orders.... supposedly our order is #1 next in line for the USA orders.... we will see.

What city did order from? Close to Tampa FL
When did you order? September 2019
When did you take delivery? January 2019
How did that compare to your expected date when you placed your order? Original date was December 2019.
One month delay was not that bad as my order was fairly loaded - most everything but E-ABC and perfume and fancy seats

Ordered from Mercedes of Ft. Wayne.
Put in request October 7, 2019.
Salesman said Mercedes accepted order and gave allocation around October 30th, 2019.
Delivered to dealership, January 30th, 2020.
Took delivery, who knows when because headlight module broken... Ugh!
This dealership hasn't had another 450 come in, in that entire period. Salesman was shocked they got this allocation...

What city did order from? Santo Domingo, DR
When did you order? First order was late April 2019, second order late October 2019
When did you take delivery? First order was delivered in October 2019, however there was an error with the build I had placed and it did not arrive as ordered (missing AIRMATIC). I decided not to take delivery and reorder. Dealer was able to modify an existing allocation with my specs and place a new order with build date just one month ahead.
How did that compare to your expected date when you placed your order? Both orders came in as promised. Although final and correct delivery was 10 months from initial order.
