Waiting for AMG C63
Discussion
I tried customer services at MK a guy who is called Ross Stevenson .I also tried email Rob Holloway their UK Marketing guy.
All without success.
If your car is built you should be able to get the VIN number and can track its route .
That is if they have built it!
I think there are too many models using the 4ltr now, and they are even giving them to Aston Martin for their next model......they just don’t tell you the truth about the delays.
If only I could get a 550 Estate😩

Ross Stevenson actually works at a customer service centre in the Netherlands I believe. He is unable to help on delivery times.All without success.

That's pretty poor treatment. I ordered in September and have a late October build for a November delivery. Though I think mine was an existing slot the dealer had...
Aren’t you better off pushing back til March, for an 18 plate? I know it’s a long wait though!! I ordered the C63 estate today! Been told no problem for a March delivery, but now you’ve got me wondering!!If you go on a mercedes forum you can get a bit more from insiders. This seems tô be a Mercedes thing. They publish lists of availability for options and engines to ordering teams and you have to push anyone helpful at the dealership to get these.
There's always a lack of this engine, it's in everything with a 63 badge. It is helping support second hand prices though (for good spec cars at least).
Last year HUD had a huge delay. I got lucky and got the last of the units, otherwise it would have meant another 2 month delay. Also carbon and black ash trim often have supply issues.
I picked up an unallocated coupe order in august, due end September. Arrived late October.
Only thing I'd say is it's worth the wait. Sublime car.

I tried black ash trim then carbon trim. Both added several months to the build so they got skipped. Also magno selenite grey would have added several months delay so I compromised on that too. If delivery is delayed anywhere near approaching the gulf in time that adding those options would have, I'll be seriously miffed.
Dealers don’t ever mention delays due to option configuration. Bits of trim are just push on parts , hardly difficult to source and do not add to time on the line.
Maybe the wait for 1000ash trim Cars to come through together to stop confusing the robots.we are talking about C class Cars built in their thousands .Not a Pagani .

Tell that to Mercedes. I'm just repeating what I was told and have been told by multiple folks who have placed or attempted to place orders for C63's of varying configurations!

Often suppliers deliver each option piece in bulk. HUD is popular but production is limited, so they get say 100 units, they allocate to a 100 cars, then anyone else who wants one has to wait another few months to be allocated it to the build slot. Their build slot gets pushed back, and the production line is filled with a car which doesn't need it.
You rarely seen new C63s with all the desirable options as people will sacrifice options to get the car sooner.
It's nothing to do with prestige, it's just demand / supply.
That's bit of a delay, makes me think too many people are ordering AMGs (says he ) .Good cars generally, but perhaps MB's push for sales is now starting to bite them. AMGs were, at one time, fairly 'exclusive' cars; now it seems that everbody has one. A bit like the previousy prestigious 3-series?
A 550 estate would be good. It's a shame that MB and BMW UK don't offer the same versions as on mainland Europe; I was with a Dutch friend a while ago and admiring his 550D estate, very nice car but when I looked, not available in the UK. Likewise many of the X-drives, athough that seems to have changed now.
