Lead time for new C class , 5 months!!!!

[c250blu]

Hi,

Just been told by a couple local Mercedes dealers that if I want a car to my specification, I'm looking around 5 months wait 2-3 months is not that bad, but 5 months is a long time. Anyone else waited 5 months for a new car?

I'm after the C200d sport with premium plus pack, with the following extras:

Head Up Display,
Multibeam LED Headlamp
Driving Assistance package
surround camera system
privicy glass

Might bite the bullet and just order it next month so it will come with the new plate .

ordered end of march original ETA was 20th Jan now 20th Nov.

Its a lease so thankfully no deposit

I knew it would be a long lead time when i ordered but figured its worth the wait

C250 Sport estate ordered in May picked up 2 weeks ago (originally quoted November).

When I picked mine salesman said lead times were long especially c350e where he said he couldn't guarantee even getting someone in before summer.

In years gone by it used to be a lot longer : people used to order their next car at the point of taking delivery of a new one .

I remember my dad ordering a new 220 and being told it would be 18 months , although they could be had quicker if you wanted to pay above list price , buying from someone who had put their money down and turning their new car over for a profit .

A few months is nothing .
