What should I pay for 2012 GL550/what's the trade value for mine GL350

Car has 5K miles(dealership owner is using it)msrp of 91K with entertainment and towing package, never titled so I would be the first owner just with some miles. What would be the right prize to offer them for the car.
Mine is 2011 GL350 bluetec with 13k miles has everything but no leather or 3rd zone air.
Thanx to all.

Sure you don't want to wait for the 2013 GL? Or if you prefer this style, maybe you should wait until fall when the 2013 GL is launched then you can pick up a 2012 GL550 for much less than anything you could get right now.

BTW does your 2011 GL350 have Distronic?

No distronic. I love the new GL that is coming out soon specially the one with AMG bumpers but I also like mine. Got the GL550 flares in a paint shop and bought mate black HRE wheels ready to put on. I asked because a week ago when I went in for service my salesman(also a friend) told me that the owner of the dealership will be getting the new GL bluetec and the 550 will be for sale at a discount since there is some miles on it. Wanted to know what should I pay for a used/new 550 no distronic also and how much is mine worth.

Ah I see. Sorry I can't help you with what it's worth, just curious why you chose
this model [which you answered]. Best bet would be to go to cars.com and compare
a similar year and mileage GL550. The fact that yours hasn't been titled yet should
add a little to the value vs. the market rate on cars.com.

Mine is titled with 13000 miles the GL550 is not titled yet but it was driven by the dealer owner and has 5000 miles in it. Don't know if this helps... Thanx anyway.

I just checked Manheim. There is no any 2011 GL350 for sale and no history of sold cars at all for last 3 months. I think it should keep trade in value of Bluetec high.

If you really wanna have GL550 - I think it's a good price, but I would wait for 2013 and buy GL450 for the same amount or less. New model will have new engine, which is more powerful....almost like today's 550.
