My production date was just moved yesterday from 4/11 to 5/11. Is this generally a good sign that they waited until 4/26 to reschedule to 5/11 (only 2 weeks away)? Or is it typical to move a month at a time?

That's really a toss up. It could happen again or you'll be good to go. I don't think I've seen a production schedule shoved way back on the calendar.

What has the average amount of time the cars sit at the port before they get transported to the dealership or is it all over the place? Mine just got dropped off at Brunswick GA on Saturday.

It's a big toss up. I've had cars leave the VPC within the week and others that have taken months. I wish I had a more reassuring, concrete answer for you.

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. If I don't get my car by the end of June, I need to look for other options. I can't transport kids around in my Z4.

You're floating on the Orion Highway (the same ship that delivered a Black Series for me) with an ETA into the port of Baltimore on 5/9.

Picked up from the VPC over the weekend. Check with your dealer, they'll get it in the next day or two.

It's a good sign. The ETA is typically very accurate.

For completion, not shipping. That's going to be the toss-up for you.

CONGRATS!!! I'm still waiting on mine.
A question I see from decoding your VIN is the invoice price.
Pretty decent difference between list and invoice compared to what I was looking at with a Bronco Wildtrack.
Does anyone know if that is a typical invoice/retail difference for Mercedes?

Thanks. I think that is typical. When life was normal, I'd be able to buy Mercedes and BMWs below invoice. Remember those days?

Sadly yes… now we feel lucky to not pay a "market adjustment" over sticker…
