Bought a 2016 Gle400

So I placed my order for the car several weeks ago. Really haven't heard much since. Was told it will be built on 11/11. I live in NJ. Any clues or ideas when I'll actually get my hands on the car ?

Sure - ask your dealer for their estimate based on their expereince/location.

In the system - for production they will get update and VIN# when the rig is in production - system is updated when it completes production/released to VPC - then another update in the system when released to transport - it takes "looking into the system" to see the system updates during the process.

Keep the beat !

Thanks the dealer said the prod date was 11/11 and they are super nice but also said in passing comments how some people bother him for updates all the time. And that after getting the production date they really don't get much more updates till it shows up in the parking lot. I don't want to be that annoying guy lol.

Yes, you should be that guy. You paying for an item, so it is not unreasonable to want to be kept updated as to it's status. You understand he has other customers and may be busy at times so you're not looking for a daily 20 minute powerpoint on the process. I'm sure he has your cell # and email. Would it be so hard, for example, at the end of the day every Tuesday or Wednesday, just to check the system and shoot you a quick 1 line text or email "System says status is xyz...". All you're asking for is simple communication.

As built on the mb website was 72,000 and change. We agree and wrote the paperwork for 67 and change. We disagreed on trade in value that's the only outstanding issue
