Delivery timetable

10 months into waiting for 55 order. Dealer now saying cannot estimate delivery with “23 changeover and unpublished MSRP for “23s. Saying at least a couple of months into “23. Anyone else incurring similar delays.

There are well over 500 new 2022 SL's (200+ SL55's) on dealers lots. MB stuffed a lot of '22 models into the channel late in the year; this will likely delay the roll-out of 2023's...

Just looked at Carguru. You are correct. 570 2022 SLs for sale. Only thing I can conclude is that my local MB is incompetent letting my order sit unfilled for 10 months while an abundance of those same cars are in the market. Seems like it's time to find another dealer or buy a Porsche.

Most likely reason is that they don't actually have an allocation for a custom order, so the order is just sitting there. MB Germany has been building cars with configurations they can build and just ship them to dealerships. I read somewhere that custom orders are not being fulfilled. It's take it or leave it at the moment. You might wanna start looking at what's coming in and put your name down for one that is closest to your desired configuration.

have you gone into a Porsche dealership to try and buy a 911? 18-24 month wait list, tons of delays due to demand and shortages and lots of ADM games.
