Well, I think John and me have showing the best way to get a Mercedes without all the ? stress.
A wee weekend break up to Scotland (have a couple of fantastic nights out), then with hangover guaranteed, hit one of Scotland 10/10 fabulous dealerships, and arrange a wee branch transfer of then ordered car.
How I got mine. Mines was on order, not expecting the car till around the March 2022, then out the blue, they called me early December 2021, to offer me one within 3 weeks, transfered I believe, from a branch near Birmingham.
I said fine, and 3 weeks later picked up the new car. They explained to me at the time, due to part shortages, they felt my supposed March 2022 day wasn’t going to happen, so thinking outside the box, they looked at all the orders on their books, and then found cars where they could, from other branches, to fullfil their orders with least hassle to their customers.
Well done Mercedes.
