Bit of a bump, but has anyone got one yet? Or managed to order one?

I went to bite the bullet at the weekend but the configurator was down so interestingly enough I wasn't able to place an order at the dealer, I thought this was a bit strange. Configurator still seems to be down.

The lack of info out there for these is a bit odd, dealers can't seem to advise on too much either.

Looking for a C43 face lift myself, Mercedes Grimsby seems to be doing 12% through Orange wheels... Still a very expensive C class though after options...
Personally I would buy a pre-reg or ex demo car for 10k less after 6 months but there are none with all the options I want !

Sounds about right, I was quoted around 10-11% off by the dealer themselves.

They did have a facelift C43 in the showroom when I went in, very very nice!

If anyone’s hesitating on a C63 - do it. Nearly 4 months in on mine and starting to really appreciate how good it it. Relaxing when you want, snarls when you want, and suprisingly ok traction-wise (so far).

People react well to it as well (so far) - everyone seems to like a V8 rumble!

I’ve stopped using the sports exhaust though - the novelty wore off after a month of having it on every day and giggling like a 5-year old.

Not really sure why you’d need the ‘s’ in the real world either.

I ordered my face lift C63 S 10 weeks ago and still no news, I've not even been advised of a build slot!

I'm guessing the delays are down to the new WLTP regs.. I'm starting to worry that the new exhaust filters may ruin the usp of the car.
