My wagon is currently showing the same status. My salesperson said it indicates a factory hold has been removed after production and the vehicle is cleared for transport to the port for export...

Was worried it was some sort of secret negative code that meant something was wrong… LOL

Not at all. It's normal and he's seen it on every car. Some cars (especially AMG) get more scrutiny than others. After they're built, they're sometimes held for additional checks before being released to the logistics group. Or, they're just held in general until they can be transported.

Great to hear—a relief for sure!
Thank you—hopefully we all get our cars without much of a prolonged wait...has you dealer heard anything about holding the cars at US port for delayed model year release versus upon landing?

No. He's trying to not set unrealistic expectations which I appreciate. Speaking as a former corporate employee for another German auto group, I don't see anything on paper or otherwise that would indicate a valid reason for a hold beyond MBUSA. It's plausible they want existing inventory to diminish and new inventory to be available before they authorize the start of sales.

Thanks again—are you on the West Coast? When you think your car will arrive and be in your hands?
can anyone help my find out the status of my car and when it will be delivered to the dealership? I have attached the Netstar screenshot provided by my dealer.

You should have it by late Dec hopefully... no chance end of Nov...being built Nov 20th.. probably wont even leave Europe until 1st week of Dec... maybe if it was a GLE coupe and not a GLC coupe
I have an E53 Sedan on order. Just got the vin WDDZF6BB0KA576987. Any chance I could get a status check? Hopefully the timing between arrival at the port and release will match up.
Thanks so much!

I was just told on the phone, about 30 minutes ago, by my dealer GM that E53 have just been released. Still no 63. Meh
