Shoker91, if you decide to sell your allocation I would be interested please.

Although I put a deposit down last year I am not guaranteed a car and from what you mention probably unlikely to get one and really don't want to wait until 2019 and also don't want a GTC.

Also don't really want a Ferrari 488 or McLaren 570 but I might have to put these as options as an an alternative to the GTR.

Hi Stuart1961,

Tried to PM you, however it keeps saying your account doesn't permit it. Is there an Email I can contact you on or do you want to try messaging me. Cheers

Hi Guys,

I have been told August delivery latest, which works out perfect for me as it gives me extra time to get my funds together as I really don't want to finance the car. If I don't have the funds in the next few months I will probably sell my allocation and number plate.

Spoke to the dealer 70 units for this year with 250+ orders that have been placed. He personally thinks it will be impossible to get a new car if you was to place an order now, as deliveries are only going into early 2019, and he is now advising customers to go for the Gtc.

I have been asked to spec my car, but im not sure i want to do it until the configurator is up....
When did you place your deposit to get an August delivery?

Hi,

Im sorry i started another thread on something quite similar after going through the first 3 pages I could not see this.

I am possibly interested in the GTR, and have had a couple of dealers quoting for a July delivery, one for September.

Was wondering what everyone else was getting and if they were being discounted?

Would be good to know.

No discount as the car is in such high demand.

When did you place your deposit to get quoted a July delivery?

m2m if you've not yet placed a deposit I will be very surprised if you can get a GTR this year. I'd get the dealers you've spoken to, to confirm this in writing to you & if they then suddenly quote you a 2018 delivery that your deposit is refundable.

I understand all orders are submitted to Mercedes GB & production slots are allocated by them. I understand all slots have been allocated up to September delivery already. Also no discounts on this or the GTC models.

If you haven't actually placed an order then you'll not get a car til 2018 at earliest or more likely not at all. Discount also seems unlikely, why would they discount if there's a 1 year+ waiting list.

I would be careful if I were you, I know for sure that at least one deposit has been returned because the depositer was trying to sell it on for a profit.

Dealer Configurator is live so why not just use that? Options list is not complicated either, not much to choose really.

Yes I agree, I will hold on it to it, only transfer it to another individual if I don't have the funds. I spoke to my dealer and they said I can transfer the build slot to another person. Lets see what happens in a few months.

As for the configurator, according to my dealer there is no configurator available. I will speak to the dealer today and see whats what. I want to visualise the car in all the different colours and wheel options.

Thats definitely available, I sat with my sales guy before christmas and did that, its a dealer configurator but it does have the usual rotating graphics of the car.

Alternatively if you just want to see colours/wheels then there is a configurator available on the .de site. Ignore the spec though their cars are more basic and then have endless options.

What do you guys think of the 2nd hand prices for this year especially?
Seeing as we know only 70 cars are being delivered for this year, the fact that this car has broken a world record, Shmee150 and Salomondrin taking delivery of the GT R this year (Im sure we will see alot of positive and exciting content of the car on their youtube channels) and the possibility that the GT R may already be sold out?

Do you guys think there will be a strong premium on the used car market?

I've heard the same, MB are taking a hard line to those trying to sell their slots and flippers will be frowned upon. I guess not really an issue if you're not fussed about buying another special edition though...

I was told that the car can only be registered to the person who's name is on the order form.

Premiums for the first couple of months and then you will see too many on the market and prices will drop.

Possibility of GT Black Series being cancelled.... Say it isn't so!!!

http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2017/1/18/The-Mercedes...

On the other hand will support GT R prices further.

That will be a real shame but agreed it will help the residual on the GTR.

I don't think it's dead yet.

The Blackseries build numbers are so low(5 UK SLS BS) that I can't see it having any effect on values either way.
