I saw several as well the last one, without the Night Package and emailed the Sales Manager back and said looks good, except missing the night package and wheel locks. He instantly replied he was adding them right then. Pretty sure he forgot. I went back through me emails and food the whole conversation. Not much I can do at this point besides reordering or taking it with shiny bits.

Just got word that my e63s will arrive in Baltimore on 8/10. SA didn't have the ship name. He also said that he thinks Mercedes will release the 19s soon. He is basically out of 18s. Has 3 2018 e series left, and this month they are selling used cars since they have no inventory of new cars. Perhaps, I will actually get my August delivery!

Ugh, trying to be zen about this but October sounds ridiculous. Ordered this car in DECEMBER of last year, so 10 months to wait when the car is physically a few hours away just seems ludicrous. If they don't release the MY19s soon, I feel like Merc is going to have a couple of challenging sales months in August and September!

Lack of certification was what I was told today as the reason for the delay.

Good question—for sure the new engines were held up, not sure if carryovers were to the same extent. I also wonder as some cars used same engines but may have had updates to engine management software, if those got looked at also.

Good point software changes may take even longer to analyze and be more scrutinized after VW Dieselgate.

With all the delays of multiple months, do we have any leverage to negotiate additional discount or deals on maintenance packages from dealers. It would be major disappointment to have an August delivery, but not get the car to October. Giving me maybe a month of decent weather here in NY. There has to be some accountability on MB part, no?

So I went through my spec sheet from the dealer and low and behold they had made a number of mistakes including getting the wheels and seats wrong.
I pulled them up on it and now they are mentioning delays...
I’ve threatened to pull the order of that happens due to their mistakes.
Honestly, this order process has been really poor, not impressed.

Good news: Looks like MBZ is at least getting some movement on CARB approval: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad.../2019/2019.php
Bad news: Only seeing the GLA

I may have to consider my options if my August delivery is delayed till mid October. That gives me about 2-3 weeks of decent driving weather if that. I told the SA when I ordered the car that I wanted a car in August or not until spring. Of course, it will come during the time I didn’t want it. Can’t believe there isn’t better communication within the organization. This isn’t their first shipment of cars
