Wow, I’ve bought houses for less!
February 22, 2021 at 6:46 pm #140818Me also wmcforum, could of almost got 2 houses for that..
I am so glad there is not a mercede’s dealer close to me and on the the one visit i did make to one nearest to me, I’d have to say I’d give them 0 out of 10. I was tempted but as soon as i foundout that adaptive cruise comes as part of a pack at a crazy price on top of the ap on any car.. It was not for me.. Seems it’s saved me alot of grief, I’d still be waiting for my next car by all acounts and i have been in my honda sport since june 2020 (should of been april)order in jan and was delayed due to covid but was at the dealers well before 3 month handover date..

DanielHi,
I placed an order on my CLA180 premium plus on 27/11/20 and now had an email from the local Mercedes dealer to say that car is arriving/ ready for collection on 3rd March 21 which I think is pretty quick turnaround considering COVID and another lockdown.
gone with digital white , 2 tone red and black leather.February 26, 2021 at 7:18 am #141138I have been missing a few days, why did @rox get blocked, he was always a regular poster and never seen any issues

PhilI ordered the CLA Coupe 250e AMG Line Premium Plus in Feb for an April 2021 delivery. That was delayed until June/July and the fleet operator was then sent a Q code warning that the CLA 250e AMG Line Premium Plus will not be available until December 2021!!! The dealership handling the fleet orders is based in Edinburgh. Exasperated is not the word. I missed out on the C300d offers in Dec 20 and early Jan 21 and thought the 250e would be a good bet and the opportunity to go Hybrid. I have only ever driven Mercedes diesels for the last 27 years but the latest pricing in Feb/Mar 21, for those in particular, were more than I was prepared to pay.
Anyone else received such bad news? My last fleet contract ended at the start of March and it appears I am without wheels for the next 9 months!

BobHi Daniel. That’s a quick delivery time on your CLA, About the same as I waited for my 220d CLA Shooting brake, in mountain grey with that lovely red and black interior, you will love it, I do.

KevAll to do with semi conductors ( chips ) getting worse Jaguar Land Rover closing for a week waiting for these Peugeot changing digitial speedo for the 308 back to analog as a way round,backword for the sake of production, they are saying shortage could last until 2022 lets hope not as car factories will keep slowing or come to a stop even more than now and build times a lot longer

MickyOct 2021 CLA shootingbreak 180 red red black interior PREM plus driver pack, order placed put in June 12, dealer seems honest said it had build slot, del expected sept, then a call to say late Oct, 3 items of spec changed because of chip shortage ,now has standard sound system, no auto tailgate pack, no hands free phone charge, but can charge pluging it in.
If dealer says it’s got build slot that must be good yes ?? Unless he fibbing bit ,dealer seems genuine, so I just wait hoping del before Dec,.

Are you still expected to pay the same AP for it?
October 2, 2021 at 8:51 pm #165727
MickyYes same cost but items in spec changed, mercedes said to me the car ,spec CLA PREM plus has changed but mercedes said the car is,as it is ,you order it or not order it spec changed but no change in price.
Prob because they can sell any cars they have.
Me well I will just wait hope it’s delivered before Dec.
Best of luck folks.

MickyCLA ,It’s going to be waiting because you name it the pandemic has effected it, I will just wait hope car delivered eventually, yes items removed from spec that have been paid for ,but no refunds, it’s minor changes, but I have to say mercedes should realise on motability cars estates the auto tailgate should be installed ,But I guess they just make decisions.
November 17, 2021 at 4:47 pm #169352
MickyIt’s all so confusing ,but I now THINK from what I’ve read it’s only kick under car to open tailgate ,some multbeam headlights,hands free phone charger,upgraded sound system missing from spec,no change in price mercedes says it’s pandemic not our doing,??
I’ve read 2021 CLA delivery in Canada are kept waiting as we are,when they threatened to cancel,suddenly car can be delivered BUT BUT THEY ARE BEING ASKED TO SIGN WAIVER SAYING CAR ACCEPTED WITH MANY MODULES MISSING SATNAV ETC, to be put in at dealership later date. This is Canada sod that,I hope that doesn’t happen here,its said cars are stuck at P.D.I incomplete ,Canada.
What aeed.

I honestly don’t think I could wait that long. Hopefully you’ll get some good news soon.

Jesus Christ 5 grand for a car you won’t even end up owning and near a year delivery. I’d walk away with some dignified posture personally.

We each choose different cars for different reasons. What suits one person may not appeal to others.

MickyI don’t mind the £5095.00 AP.
If I get the car ,biggest issue is ,NO ONE GIVES ANY UPDATES Mercedes, motability, anyone ,yes yes we all know about bloody chip issues.
I am getting close to makeing alternatives away from Mercedes ,motability, etc nobody cares.
December 31, 2021 at 3:09 pm #172730Any news as to MB rejoining?

Kash AkhtarI ordered my 250e via my fleet company at work in November 2020 and I still haven’t got it! I’ve chased Sytner Mercedes, I emailed the CEO office in Mercedes UK and still nothing. They have the worse customer service ever and I been waiting bloody 14 months now and I still got nothing.
March 28, 2022 at 6:15 pm #181061
LeeI ordered at the beginning of August and was told, March, then May and now July.
I understand the wait time is almost 12 months for the CLA and as such it’s currently off the scheme.
The only updates are if I ring them not the other way (dealer) not the motability team. They have been great.
