Does anyone know when first real deliveries of the 580 will be?

 

As far as I can see they haven't been approved by EPA yet in North America

 

My dear Lee here in Boston said they’re already taking orders for delivery at the end of November into December. That’s assuming there’s no delays in production.

 

Would anyone know if i can already place an order on a GLE 580 in the US?

 

Is it in the configurator online? What did your dealership say?

 

Initial Production is scheduled for mid-November (maybe) and 2nd round production scheduled mid-January

Mid-November has been locked down quite a while - mid-January "open" for changes - but it will be hard to find a dealer who has a unsold slot - there are very/very few committed to being built.

 

I just placed my GLE 580 order 5 hours ago. It all went well. One thing I discovered is that the passenger seat memory is now standard and is not a standalone option. It is still listed as a separate standalone option in the Order Guide but when they configured my order it displayed as a standard item for the GLE 580. I was told to expect about a 90 day wait. I guess this is where patience is needed.

 

The 580 isn't on the MBUSA website as of today. My dealership has been taking orders since late September with "November/December" delivery.

 

December cars are already locked.
January for a custom order placed now.
For West Coast people I doubt you will see more than a couple before the end of the year.

 

Has anyone taken delivery of their GLE580 yet?

 

GLE is getting a 580 too? lol

 

Yes it has been in the order guide for months.

 

Yes but it is very limited run and only for a short period of time. Mine has been ordered for 6 weeks now. I was just curious to see if any were delivered yet. It is my understanding that the first units will be delivered in December.

 

I ordered my about a week ago. I was told it should be a late Feb. delivery, possible March. Althought I am think about changing the interior trim to the metal weave which will push it back even futher.
So what is this "short period of time?"

 

When I ordered mine on 10-29-19 I was told to expect a 90 day wait. I check with the SA a few days back and found that there has been no change in my status and that it was still waiting to be assigned a chassis. I do know that orders were accepted more than a month earlier than mine so if nobody has received their order yet, it will be a while.

 

Do you know if your 580 has entered the build queue yet? Does your vehicle have a production date?

 

According to my SA the status has not changed since my order. It appears to be in limbo. Judging from my past orders, the dealership is not generous with status updates so I can only hope more is going on than what they are telling me.

 

Now want a 580 but it's still not on the US website (22 December). They must be having one heck of a production delay on this one too. I'm assuming it'll be assembled in Alabama like the 350/450.
​
Anyone have ​​more information on it, other than the engine specs released early this year?

 

I have had one on order now for 54 day but other people have ordered as much as a month or more before that. The first batch may be coming out soon. It is a limited run and won't be available long. I know that it is not listed on the MBUSA site but all the information is contained in the MB Order Guide that is available on this forum. The information and pricing is spot on and it can be used to configure your order. Good luck.

 

Thank you. I didn't know the 580 would be limited in quantity/availability, though thinking about it, that makes sense.

Also, I'm not very familiar with this forum and will look for the MB Order Guide.

 

Here is the latest Dealer Order Guide I have seen posted, though there may be a newer one. BTW, this did not read properly in my Bluebeam but did in Acrobat. Over on the GLS forum the first 580 has been delivered in the US.

 

Thank you for the October Dealer Order Guide.

I am working with my dealer on ordering the GLE580 and the pricing on the October DOG appears very accurate, with the exception of the 3D High End Burmester, which appears to have dropped in price to $4,550, at least on the GLE580.

I'll update this post when it's on order...

 

It's noted as $4,550 under the DP1PKG. That's because the 580 includes base Burmester as standard.

 

Makes perfect sense. GregW - you really know your stuff!

Wish me luck on getting a decent price on the GLE580 in Texas... I'm still waiting for the dealer to return my call. Not sure I'm willing to pay MSRP or or close to it, knowing how all cars depreciate so much in the first year.

 

Apparently these are going into production this week. That’s what the dealer showed me on his tracker this morning. I haven’t ordered one yet but might do soon.
