Disaster...Time for a rethink. I thought production was being increased with a plant in Finland this year?
Quite right Mobydick, spoke to my salesman today about crabbing issue and he said car was still on schedule for 1st March, will be interested to see if that changes as I have premium plus and night package.Would make life much easier if I hated the car.. lol.
I do not wish to contribute to the chancelors back door Dick Turpin tax so will probably wait until a used model comes up.
At £45k I am not settling for anything but my chosen car... Period...
I think you ok Phil with orders already in the pipeline but fulfillment for new ones like mine dodgy.Quite right Mobydick, spoke to my salesman today about crabbing issue and he said car was still on schedule for 1st March, will be interested to see if that changes as I have premium plus and night package.
When I ordered mine was told I would have to wait an extra 3 months if I wanted 20 inch wheels.
Mobydick, I have posted on the crabbing thread that I spoke to him today and he is checking to see if there is any news from MB, he isn't in tomorrow but will let me know Wednesday. I have already told him that if I am not happy with the car I will return it in the 30 day period.I think you ok Phil with orders already in the pipeline but fulfillment for new ones like mine dodgy.
Out of curiosity what did the sales guy say about crabbing problem..
I see what you saying and to some degree this is what he has done from day one. The car I was having was already prepared production but modifiable. In this case the who car will be delayed in production because of lack of said items. Prior to me taking in though it was a garage stock vehicle. Salesman very transparent and I understood all he showed me on the computer. Quite happy no underhand stuff going on.I hope this isn't the case Mobydick,as I'm in a similar situation with mine due mid March with Premium Plus and Night pack.
Not wanting to question your salesman but he may have sold you a car in the system which he couldn't aquire,then doing some back peddling with the offer for the other car.I had this with my dealer,sold me a car then a week later couldn't secure it then looked around the system for an alternative.
I'll check tomorrow to make sure mines still on schedule and let you know.
For what the "Stealers" are currently asking for used models I'd be very tempted to hang out for a new model. Listers in Lincloln are currently offering a 250d AMG Premium Plus in Obsidian Black with the Night Package and black 20's. It's got the 360 camera and running boards but no Intelligent Light System. They want £43,666 for this ex-demonstrator with over 5000 miles on the clock. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask! I suppose a purveyor of the finest recreational pharmaceuticals will snap it up. It would also be perfect for escorting The Donald down The Mall when he comes to visit.Would make life much easier if I hated the car.. lol.

Cheers for this post Millduu. Never believed my sales guy fibbing but nice to know it is a national thing. Will be interesting what the motoring press say about this flaw and how it is worded too.Spoke to my salesguy today and he confirmed any new builds are being put back due to the Night Pack being in short supply,this also applies to changing existing build specs,any cars that have past the cut off and have an agreed due date are ok.
Also questioned him about the disclaimer and he says Mercedes wants to makesure buyers have been told of the "characteristic" of the model.
We'll see better when it's fully released to the public I think,I want to see what small print they put in there.
Evening Muks. If car already in build stack you ok however new orders like mine just no packs until June so nothing. Not heard anything from dealer and don't expect to until 22/2. I emailed them on Monday saying if they are considering asking me to sign that disclaimer MB are asking you to they will be waiting a long time. I have no response.Hey Moby, sad to hear of the supply issue. Did they confirm not possible? I've got mine with the night pack too, but not heard anything from the dealer yet. I think it's got a build date of 18 feb, but will drop the sales guy an email to check if everything is still going well.
Morning Needforspeed. Black package is in zero supply at the moment on the GLC and anticipated delivery dictates that MB are unable to supply vehicle with that option as a new order until June.Your GLC won't be delivered until June this year? :frown2: Didn't see this thread until now, what's this disclaimer? Or can you not tell anyone who doesn't already know about it?
