Mercedes-Benz GLA new car order - can I get my deposit back?

In early December I ordered a Mercedes GLA. I have still not been given a build date and have read stories of 40+ week waits for some customers. I’m happy to sit tight for now but at what point can I say enough is enough and get my deposit returned?

Mercedes-Benz say that there are a number of different factors influencing the supply of new vehicles, depending on the individual circumstances, for example, model and specification. The Mercedes-Benz retailer is best placed to advise you, based on the specifics of the order and how the vehicle is being financed.
