Delivery Times

[AndyC152]

Dear All

I?ve just ordered a new company car. A C220D Avantgarde MAN saloon with Comand APS (but no other extras) and was quoted 12-14 week delivery.

Does anyone know from experience if this is accurate?

Thanks for your help

My understanding is that all Mercedes cars are built to order, and the right-hand drive C-class cars are built in East London in South Africa.

So, after receipt of your order the works order is placed into the production schedule in the next available build 'slot', the car is built and then shipped from South Africa to the UK. No doubt the car passes through one or more distribution centres before it arrives at your MB retailer.

12-14 weeks for all of this is probably about right.
