2010 ML550 (W164)
ML550 ordered

Well I bit the bullet and re-ordered a ML550 a few weeks ago. Build is set for sometime from 20th March to month-end. I'm hoping my dealer can give me more specific progress soon...

Can anyone here comment from experience on what kind of tracking/progress info I should be able to get from my dealer, given that build is currently "3rd decade of March"?

Thanks!

My ML 550 was ordered in July 09 and I received delivery on or about Oct 1st. However the car arrived at my dealers in mid sept about 30 days after the build date. This will vary as to where ypu are located. Dealer was able to provide build dates, confirm build and give me the ship date. However after shipping it seems to dissapear until it shows up at the dealers. There is a several day to a weeks time following build until it ships. From what I have been told during that period of time it is in the prep center. This was the 4th ML I had ordered and all involved a similar time period.
