So I have now been waiting 50 days for the MB dealership to get a factory allocation for a GLC43. Not much info coming back but I was told that MB are limiting amendable orders due to limited supply of Premium and Premium Plus packs related to parts for navigation.

Initially I was told it would be mid-March delivery. Now it is looking more like June, 7 months after placing the order!

Has anyone else had an experience like this?

@JBD will know
 
I ordered a brand new C43 in February last year and come July I still didn't have a build date,the factory saying they couldn't build it but not giving any reason. It was a PPP with pretty much everything spec'd. I ended up cancelling and buying an ex-demo, which turned out to have just 22 miles on it :)

What spec have you gone for? Anything out of the ordinary? My local dealer managed to source a prem plus within 3 days, in selenite grey and is retro-fitting a night pack for me. All brand new, and waiting til 1st March for a ‘20 plate.

Might be worth looking into cars that are already built if you want it sooner? Just a thought.
 
Really , who the Fruck do these people think they are ? They are building a mass produced commodity the same as many other similar churn out factories world wide . OP , tell them to 'poke it' and go buy something else. They are playing you.
 

There’s currently an code restriction on the camera for the augmented reality navigation. There’s plenty of build slots for 43 nationally though and I’ve managed to get prem plus on all of mine, but I was up at 2am when we got allocation changing specs before they ran out [emoji23]

I’ll have a look at availability when I get to work at 8:30

Is it an SUV?

I have two with prem plus in physical stock, another through in March and an amendable build slot coming through in April.

If they spoke to other dealers, there shouldn’t be an issue swapping one in. A bit odd

Update:

Dealership got back to me saying I was third in line and they would find out by Monday.

So after threatening to cancel the order I soon got an email saying they had an amendable allocation sorted for early May delivery!

Spec was simple, SUV in obsidian black with premium pack.

Thanks for the info @JBD. 2am!? Wish my dealership had been as proactive!

Glad to hear it’s sorted!
