'The order bank is open' according to the dealer. Obviously they don't have pricing and allocations .
Is it a good idea to put deposit to get in line?
Did you do it?

Wolfman

We have always been able to customer order cars without deposit. This will not a limited production car but I understand that markets vary...

HBerman

Not open until November 3.

Nope, order bank is open. Looks like production will start in Feb.

Congrats, nice build. Did you get PO number? Any idea of the price?

CONGRATS !!! Great specs ....

HBerman

No on both counts. Should have a PO by next week. The person who ordered an SL55 before me has a production date of late Feb. My guess is that I'm looking at $170+ at least. We'll find out in short order.

5U7 AMG Dark Light Package
PAZ AMG Extended Night Package


I've also put down a deposit. Delivery date unknown, of course; price unknown but dealer promises MSRP.

I assume the dark light package is smoked headlights and tail lights? What does the extended night package include?

HBerman

I think that the dark light package is smoked headlights (not sure about the tail lights). The extended night Package is some additional black gloss trim. I've no idea what is affected. This is like opening a surprise gift.

Looks good!

Interesting to hear if the CCB brakes can be combined with the comfort seats!

HBerman

DY2 has deleted the Performance Seats so the CCBs can be ordered if DY2 is specified. I'll update my revised build.

HBerman

Anyone with an allocation yet? I checked today with my sales person, but no new news.

mercedesmax

First allocations were released end of October.

Alan Smithee

I heard first build dates are set for beginning of January.

mercedesmax

February

HBerman

UPDATE:

I now have an allocation and a PO for a September build! Attaching the build sheet:

SteveL1

SEPTEMBER build??????? They are sold out that far already? Hard to believe that when pricing hasn’t even been released yet.

HBerman

I think that September is just a placeholder. My salesman believes it will get moved into April or May. My build is in the second US allocation.

HAWKiS63

Congrats, let the waiting begin!

Alan Smithee

I have a PO number now as well. Dealer did not provide a build date yet.

iridium18

Congrats ! Great looking Build Sheet !

BACnMercedes

I was originally told I was the first one in line but found out this week that the owner has taken the first allocation. Oh well. Guess I should be an owner.

AMG Motoring

I was offered an allocation but with a significant upcharge. Not sure if that’s the norm now. Are the people placing orders paying an ADM?
