I just heard from my salesman that this year's allocation are all spoken for and a woman who placed an order 3 days after mine is not getting hers build till January. Mind you my order was not at the end of the line when I placed the order, it was one of the Manager's spot and within the first 10 or so orders.

I think my salesman is one of the best I have met, he's Preston at the Richmond store and I am sure you are going to have a good experience with him.

The X5 4.8 is not really a direct competitor to ML63, the horsepower difference is too much, it's more like something between the ML500 and ML63 so the X5 4.8 will be a step up from the ML500 and a step down from ML63 performance-wise. I believe the price might go over the ML63 too when you factor in all the options.

Looks like you guys in Canada can have a lot of equipment standard that are options in the US, good for you. Mine is going to be a mid November built, and it won't show up at my dealership until December. 3 months wait is unbearable.......

ya i know that, however, i'll first have to see the pricing of the X5 as i one on order, and it's due to arrive in end of Nov, if the X5 i config hits 90k, then i'll get the ML 63 instead, i can't believe how cheap the ML 63 is in canada, it's basilly the same price as the U.S. but we get more standard, comparing to the E 63 which is same price as ML in U.S, it costs 110k in cdn

It is true that we have more 'standard' options but you can get the same in the States. I'm adding rear camera, entertainment, key less go and trailer hitch to my order. I will also get a dealer discount. Promised not to tell how much but it is significant.

I think rear camara is standard for the US models. Wish my dealer gave me discount too, but what he did was installing by bluetooth module and windows tint for free, so I guess it's a pretty good deal for mine.

We take what we can get as we are not in a great bargaining position. At least you got something :-)

Many pay list and over.

I have four dealers in my area so I have a bit of a bargaining position.
