Anyone else waiting for a build date??

As the title indicates, my fiancee and I placed our order back on 12/30/04 and still don't have a build date. Anyone else on the same boat as we are??

A few weeks ago the MB dealer in Princeton, NJ had a '55 in stock just the way you want it...not sure if they still have it, and not sure how close to there you are.

I have palced my order since the summer and still do not have a built date they told me it is going to be in the summer which means a 2006 car.
I just stopped thinking about it because i started going crazy for waitting.

That's odd. My order was placed 1/31/05 and was built as of 3/9/05. I am waiting to hear from the dealer as to a shipment date.

Hmm, that is a shame! I placed my order on 5/30/04 & MB advised me in Dec that I'd likely see it in April. Got a call yesterday, it arrives 4/20 for pick up. Cool.

So, Ali, I think you should at least have a build date by now my friend! I'd ride these guys for a date if I were you. Just my 2 cents.

We're located in San Jose, CA

Hmmm... it's worth a try to call them to see if it's still available. I don't know if this will work for my fiancee though since we're trading in her POS vehicle.

Were you the first person on the dealer list? Our dealer received their 1st allocation about 3 weeks ago. Our order is next on their list, so we're hoping we hear something soon.... (crossing fingers)
