Awaiting Building Slot is where we at.

Least you've been told. The latest mine can go back is 1st November so hoping it can be delivered by then

New A250 arrived yesterday from Perth Mercedes on one of the cheap deals.
Impressed so far nice and refined and smooth with a bit of poke.
All that tech in the cockpit gonna take some getting used to! Came from Cupra 300

6 x 23 £256, red 15k. No options.

Congrats on the delivery, out of curiosity when did you order ? I’ll be coming from a Cupra 300 too, dynamically I’m not expecting the raw top end poke of the 300 and it’s handling, but it may feel just as quick day to day as I’m lazy with downshifting in the Cupra where as the merc obviously swaps cogs for me. Also does anyone know if the merc has a LSD or e-differential ? I had a 208 GTi and that used to spin up one wheel for fun in the wet ha.

Cheers mate, I ordered in late April. My Cupra was a manual so auto new to me, love it so far living in a city.
Don’t think it has LSD, tbh makes me a more relaxed driver as smooth power delivery and plenty of torque. Annoying horn beep when you lock it apart from that spot on!

That looks stunning. So glad i went with Red. Yes it will be pain in the backside to keep it clean bur its worth it lol.

wish a went for red now looks smart !

emailed today build slot 30/9

[Hothatch1977]

Yes I love the red, and it’s free as solid!
As I didn’t have any options....no apple car play, I can connect Spotify to my phone using Bluetooth, but can’t make changes to playlists albums etc. Have to use phone to change etc so not ideal.
Do I pay £267 for it on the Mercedes Me app...,Hmmmm reluctant too tbh that’s more than a months rental!
There is meant to be a free 12 months subscription to ‘Tidal’ yet can’t find it on the app.

Ps The tech on the cockpit is amazing find something new each day. : )
Did 200 round trip yesterday on motorway and got 41mpg with AC on full blast too....not bad.

When did you place the order?
Will your new delivery date be same as initially estimated delivery date.

I got email yesterday.. no build date so far.

I ordered the car on the 6th may was given a delivery date of 26august but was told that it was just a computer generated date they give you, had my email today to say it would be delivered to Perth on 30/9 I had briefly read it at work thought was build date so I'll have the car for 30/9 or few days later once delivered.

Anyone else wondering whether to lease another in April when the 12 month deals go back?

Myborder was 2nd June so hoping end of October fits in. I've still not had an email update since 19th July

[maxwellm1]

tbh I never got any updates unless I emailed them and was always feeling as if I was bothering them would just say if any changes or if get build.date they would contact me.

i had just left it for a while and planned to contact them round about middle of july, had happened just to be checking emails and was lucky enough to be told I would be getting car delivered to Perth end of september !

hoping if any change to that is that it moves earlier in september as need the car for middle of september ! and doesn't slip to october !

Hoping there will be an option to extend at the same price otherwise highly doubt we'll find another one for £200 pm with no initial payment.

Good afternoon all

Long time lurker on the lease thread - I originally had a new Mazda3 on order but cancelled it when I spotted Dan Collin's thread about the A250 (thanks Dan). I ordered mine (White, Premium pack) late April and picked it up from Perth yesterday (I live in the Lakes so it's not so far...) and spent around an hour being shown how it worked and signing the papers with Shona.

I was given an estimated date of 20th July but this was amended to 10th July and in fact I believe the car was actually delivered to Perth late last week.

Really pleased with it (especially given I'm coming from a 10 year old Jazz on 135K ) and still playing around with the configuration of the screens.

Cat likes it too....

Looking good! I've got an A200 on order in Polar white with the premium pack. I love how the A Class looks in white. Interested to know how much you're paying for your A250 for if you wouldn't mind sharing?
