As you can see Im in Ontario also and I'm going to be putting an order for a 2021 53 in the next couple of weeks also, care to share the discount that you were able to negotiate?

I am in Seattle, WA and was able to negotiate a 4.5% discount on the GLE53 AMG.

vintage59

Thanks. That's pretty good for a new model.

Petee1997? How about you?

Yours will be a 2021. Unfortunalty, your wait will still be bit a longer. I am also expecting a 580 that I ordered on 1/25/20. My rep called me on 5/12/20 and told me my car wouldn't be built or delivered to the dealership as a 2020 by Late May/Early June as originally anticipated. I was told it would be one of the first 2021 GLE's with a 3D/4D August tentative production date

On July 1st my dealer told me that my build date has been “holding steady” for 8/2 and sent me a Netstar screenshot which still indicated it’s a 2020. I’m going to touch base with him next week as the vehicle should be done by Sunday theoretically. He’s been pretty good with updates so I’m still hopeful, we’ll see!

Since Mercedes are unable to support existing owners with spare parts, I can only assume that they are not able to supply parts to the line to build new cars.

either that or they’d prefer to support new builds over existing customers with faults

you decide...

nsoltz

Supply chains for manufacturing and supply chains for replacement parts generally differ. Another of the frustrations of our time. And to btshep-- with each of us having August build dates, curious to see whose comes first.

Our GLE53 just got delayed 3 weeks to a 10/10 build. Not major, but A slight push. Anyone else seeing delays?

Was Ferrari Guy

I ordered in the middle of June and still don't have a build date- darn!!

Ron.s

Three weeks or 3 decades? Mercedes schedules Assembly in 10 day increments so can we assume your build is Decade 1, Oct-that would mean it would be built Oct 1-10?

GLE wannabe

Has anyone received a build date on their GLE 63s order yet?

Hi Nsoltz,

Can you share the name of the dealership?

Thank you!
Jason

Hi Jason

MB of Nanuet. Superb service and no nonsense. And NY doc fee is capped at $75 as opposed to the outrageous NJ fees ($500-600 or more sometimes). I work with David Cohn. Don't know what you can expect now in terms of deals. Like all dealers around here, very low on inventory.

Jason2021

Thank you Nsoltz!

I've had a build date on a GLE63s for a while now but it's been bouncing around all over the place. Originally May 1d, then Oct 2d, then June 1d and currently Aug 2d. We'll see if it actually gets built next month or changes again.

Placing my order in the morning.

Drove a GLE450 with Airmatic today and that sealed the deal for me. The 6cyl actually has some grunt to it and sounded better than I expected. I thought it rode great considering it had the 21” multispoke.

I’d really like to have the Drivers Assistant Package Plus but don’t want to spring for the leather multi contour seats. Really ends up adding quite a bit to the price of the vehicle.

Erik Lundh

I’m pretty sure the 21’s removes this requirement for drivers assist plus.

Caseyb829

Thats what I gathered myself when reading what’s new for the 2021. I’ll talk it over shortly with my salesman.

nsoltz

That's correct. I could order Driver Assist Plus without the leather and multi contour seats

Caseyb829

That’s great news. I appreciate the speedy replies!

nsoltz

I was definitely glad to see that the MY21 did not require the leather and contour seats. For a car just leased for 3 years, MB Tex is fine, the seats themselves seemed comfortable enough and we probably would use the massage only to show to friends. All a matter of what it's worth to you. The big thing is that Vance seems to be running and cars are definitely coming through. Now the only real question that remains is how leasing programs will look for Sept or Oct.

Caseyb829

Here’s what I ended up ordering:GLE450 4matic
Standard White Paint
Espresso BrowN MB-Tex
Natural Walnut Trim
AMG Line Exterior w/ 21” Multispokes
Airmatic Suspension
Vented Seats
Exterior Lighting Package
Would have like to added more options but also had to be realistic. Either way it will be a big improvement over my current ride, 98 Subaru Legacy Wagon!

btshep

You know i didn’t even think of that. Kinda kicking myself in the butt now. Always ordered from RC. What down are you in? Unless I missed it what do you have on order ?

nsoltz

I'm in Teaneck. I had actually started this thread after I ordered. MY2021 GLE350 ordered June 2 for 3rd decade August production. Delivery would depend upon when MB officially releases 2021.

Streamliner

If we get a new GLE, it will be for my wife. She would prefer a lighter interior over black, but for 2021, the only top line interior offered will be in BLACK! Many women like lighter interiors. Why MB couldn’t offer a beige or grey Nappa interior is just beyond me.
