delivery time for 06 SLK
Hello, I'm new to this forum. I ordered an 06 SLK 280 on Nov. 7th. Just checked with the dealer who tracks the production and shipping today Dec. 29th, the car hasn't or could have barely just got onto the ship in Germany. I was told it will take another 6-8 weeks. I'm located in San Francisco, was told the car will go to LA port, then to the dealership, then me. So the dealer's estimate for Arrival is beginning of March. It just seems awfully long since the time I placed the order. What's anyone else's exprience with this? Happy holiday everyone and Much thanks. New SLK owner.

FYI, it took nine weeks from the time I dropped the car off at the shipper in Frankfurt until I picked it up at the dealer. Not being ED, your time should be slightly less.

I did the EuroDelivery, I placed my order June 2nd, my SLK was build the second week of July and I picked it up in Germany on July 25th, was shipped on the first week of Aug. and I received my car here in the states on Aug. 31st. Hope that helps.
