is it really too late to change order?
hello
i have an order for 2021 gls 450 to be made in vance alabama mid oct
the mb website was just updated to 2021 for the builds
i now see i want to make a few changes
salesperson is saying its too late
do you guys agree?
it seems if they have not started building yet that you should be able to amend order

you can ask him for a picture of the NETSTAR order which he can view on his computer, he can take a picture with his phone and text or email you. It should have production status information which also will confirm if changes are allowed.

B3 means he is telling you the truth, no changes. And the car will be fully built in first 10 days of October.
See below codes. Sorry :/

Order status codes tracked my Mercedes-Benz. These will be of particular interest to those placing special orders for their cars, as these will be at least some of the stages that your order goes through on it's way to your dealership, and ultimately to your driveway.
A4 FINAL SUPPLIER ORDER/SCHEDULED NOT PRODUCED
B0 19 DAYS TO PRODUCTION
B1 13 DAYS TO PRODUCTION
B3 NO CHANGES POSSIBLE
B4 2 DAYS TO COMPLETION
B5 PRODUCTION COMPLETE
B7 AT PORT/READY TO BE SHIPPED
B8 ASSIGNED TO SHIP
C1 SHIP DEPARTED
C2 SHIP NOTIFICATION/ON WQTER
CS SUMITTED TO CUSTOMS
C3 CLEARED CUSTOMS
C4 AT PORT
D1 VPC RECEIVED
D2 SURVEYED AT VPC
D3 POTENTIAL DELAY
D4 READY TO DELIVER
D5 RELEASED TO CARRIER
D9 WHOLESALE/CONSIGNMENT PENDING
F1 WHOLESALED AND INVOICED
I1 RETAIL
Cars are built by Mercedes "decades" -- 10-day scheduling periods. This notation is in NetStar. For example, if your decade is 10/03, that would mean you car would be scheduled for production in the 3rd 10 day period of October.

Thanks for this idea. I just ask my sales guy for the same thing...
