W205 C-Class Lead time
Discussion
Hi
I'm considering ordering a new C-Class through work as a company car.
However, I have heard several stories regarding cars taking months and months to arrive.
Does anyone know the lead time for a fairly basic spec C220?
A colleague's took nearly 6 months, but that was ordered early this year.
Has anyone ordered recently and been given an expected delivery date?

I ordered a C220 Sport, no options except metallic paint, on 9th May.
They've told me it's got an end of June build date and delivery should be "late July". I'm expecting it to be delayed until early August.
Hmmm, that's a bit more promising. Perhaps it's the more high end models and factory stuff that takes ages...They've told me it's got an end of June build date and delivery should be "late July". I'm expecting it to be delayed until early August.
Thanks for the info
I ordered a C220 AMG line Auto estate with leather, 'seat comfort package' and Burmester sound upgrades in early February as a company car. I was told then that it would be a May build date for delivery late June, which then slipped to early July. It turns out we'll be on holiday when it's due to arrive, so I probably won't get it until late July, so five months from order (ignoring my holiday delay)
I did think it might be the colour (Paladium silver) as someone else ordered one on AVForums and was told long lead time for Paladium silver, but 3-4 weeks for Irdium silver (or something similar). I wasn't particularly bothered about the colour (our company car website blocks certain colours anyway leaving little else but shades of grey mettalic or solid white or black), so if I'd be told I would have changed the colour choice for a shorter lead time.
On the bright side it gives me something to look forward to after my holiday.

Just to feedback to this thread, my C220 AMG line estate was ordered in February and I had it delivered today, so over 7 months after the order was placed. The guy who delivered it guessed that it would have been ordered 6 months ago as many that he has delivered recently have been.
On plus side it's everything I hoped it would be, so it was worth the wait.
