Spoke to MB few weeks ago about how soon i could be in it if i did order a instock car, as the one i had ordered was having issues with getting it and was told it would be a min of 7 days before it could happen, but it’s all been sorted now. been in it for a week now..
Phaedra is right though could be upto 2 weeks depends if the cars is close by and ready to go and if everything goes smoothly their end and of cousre is a good time for you as well..
Takes a couple of days to process the application and 4 days to sort insurance out, plus the dealer will need to register the new car, most are done electronically these days. so thats pretty quick.
Make sure you get a good test drive as well as often it’s not in the exact car you will be getting, so bare that in mind the seats, trim level or engine etc maybe different.. plus make sure anything that is agreed is in writing like a dealer reducing the AP, or an option you want, some do some don’t all depends on them really.
No decsion has to made on the spot, unless you happy to go ahead don’t feel pressured to commit.. Never let them know it’s the only one you want. even if it is.. also i guess it depends on your actual situation regarding needing a car or certain features or options..
