My 43 due 1st March, same spec except 19 inch wheels, Selenite and gloss Black trim, will let you know what I think when I get the car.
Welcome to the GLC forum MillduuThought I'd say hi, managed to secure an AMG 43 for delivery 21st March.
If MB don't find a fix soon, they'll be struggling to give them away - likely to have a massive impact on residual value / resale pricesI managed to get almost 12% off mine.
I don't know if this will be a comfort for you but my 220 rides on 18s from the off-road package and I simply don't have the crabbing issue. I do have the Air Body Control suspension but I suspect the 45:55 front:rear torque split of the 220 plays a more significant part in avoiding the problem whilst the extra sidewall flex of the 235/60 Hankook tyres probably also help to prevent it.Hi Toobad,
I'm in a similar position in thatI've ordered and paid a deposit for a 220 on 18s for collection mid March. Excuse my ignorance, but what's the situation regarding refund if we've traded in? Would the dealer simply repay what you had agreed as the trade-in value. I just notice there's a bit of 'shuffling' of figures on the final invoice to suit their requirements.
Most helpful. It will be interesting to see to what extent my model/spec selection exhibits the problem come March. I have time to clarify the situation with my dealer. You would hope they would want a long-term happy customer who replaces his car fairly regularly than a one-shot very unhappy one!I don't know if this will be a comfort for you but my 220 rides on 18s from the off-road package and I simply don't have the crabbing issue.

I can't speak from experience but if you do decide to reject your car the dealer may want to hold back some of the trade-in allowance. As you have noticed on your invoice, there has been some rejigging of the figures to make the deal happen. To have the contract set aside I suspect the dealer will want to offer you the straight CAP guide trade price for the vehicle as the trade-in price is calculated on the basis that you are buying another car from them and thus, with extra margin available, can be made more psychologically attractive. The Dealer will be able to give details of the financial implications of rejecting the car so you have full disclosure prior to completion of the contract you have entered into.
