Wow! This forum is incredible! We are taking delivery of our 01 MB EX sometime in "the middle" of this week.
They don't have a VIN# yet which is a little bit worrisome, but they say that's how their system works. True? No VIN# until the week of delivery? Are they just blowing smoke and setting us up for delay?
As I understood the process, the dealer gets the vin number shortly after the van is built and before shipment. It takes around ten days to get the van from the factory to the dealership. Dealer should have vin number before van is shipped.
