Ordering a 2019?

Has anyone placed a preorder for a 2019 and what type of discount are you getting? In order to gain more information about the best time to order, when was the earliest people ordered a 2018 model? I'm asking about the 2018 model year because I know there was a delay in the actual delivery of these cars.
Thank you.

I was told March / April, assuming June-ish build and September / October delivery in CA. As a result no info on pricing yet since no order guide yet...

But if anyone has better info, please let us know!

Well if your timing is approximately correct, then I'm shifting my order... just got the email from MB that there "is a significant delay in production" and my factory delivery cannot be delivered as planned on March 28th. That's not good for me! They are offering an S-class loaner or E63 for the trip, but I won't have my car for who knows how long.

So the big question for me: shift the order to first-run on the MY19, or just take the MY18 late.
Pros to waiting for MY19
+ Avoid depreciation on '18 in late production run
+ Expect some bugs to be worked out
+ New options or colors possible?

Cons to waiting for MY19
- Wait another 6mo to get back into AMG (dying on the vine here)
- Probably have my Factory delivery trip lost for now
- Loss of colors or options?

If dealer is offering a sizable discount too, then you may want to go 18. 19 will likely have a nominal price hike and may be harder to get discount (esp. the first batch of it)

'18 is a first year production with plenty of discounts
