First post guys, just registered. I may be able to shed some light on the varying delivery times given to people with these cars on order
I placed an order for a A250 Engineered late in January via a leasing company, and was told that I would have it mid-June. However 2 weeks ago I got a call saying there had been a delay and I would not have it until OCTOBER. I almost fainted when I heard this, so kicked up a fuss with the leasing company and said I would be canceling my order for the A-Class and the order for my Fathers new car too unless they sharpened their pencil a bit.
They told me that each dealer is given an allocated number of build slots per model of vehicle, and the garage that they order their Mercs from had reached their allocation limit for the A-Class, hence the delay. I told them this was not my problem, and they then went away and found a dealer who still had available build slots on the A-Class for around about my original delivery date, and transferred my order to them.
So after much commotion, I am getting my A250 Engineered mid-June
So basically the differing delivery times are all down to how many orders the dealer has received, as this determines if they have build slots free or not
