For those of you in the know of dealers workings

I ordered a GLK from the factory on April 18th and not sure if I am getting the rund around.

When ordered, April 18th (it was a Saturday) I was told the dealer had a couple cars on their order list that the options could be changed to my specifications.
April 20th - Told they could not change option list and it had to be a regular order.

April 28th, was told the car will be build on first week of June and will arrive at the end of June or early July

June 10th, was told "it looks like the car has been pushed back a few weeks"

Does this make sense to you? I am considering cancelling my order and going some where else, but it will require starting from scratch.

Thanks.

Could it be a summer shutdown of the factory? Might inquire with the dealer whether you are getting new MY for same price.

Acutally, I had ordered my car on April 20th and changed options on April 21st.

Mine is already built of Jun 1st week and being shipped to North America.

If you ordered the car around April 20 then at least, you had to get your VIN.
