Moving to X166 forum..

After 5yrs here beginning with the "early adopters" back in 07......I just placed my order for the new 2013 GL450 so I'm going to move on over there! My 07 and 11 GL's were the best vehicles I have ever owned and the advice and interaction here on the forum has been very valuable. Anybody looking for info on either the original 07 or the 11 can find me at the X166 page! Thanks to all.....

Check back often. The X166 is going to be very boring for a year or so until some people start having issues. Topics on the X166 board for the next year will be varations:
- When will my car arrive?
- What options are available with P1 or P2?
- Why aren't all the options available?
- Why does the MB Tex look better than leather?
- Dealer problems with my order.

ETC, ETC, ETC.....

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing with your 2011 GL? Trade or selling it privately? I have a 2011 GL bluetec and I'm planing to get in the new one too. Thanx

Wow - that is a good trade quote. I have tried two different dealers around here for our loaded 2011 GL350 with 24,000 miles and best I seem to get is around $48,000, which seems really bad. Frustrating trading in cars.

What are you getting now a GL450? What options and are there any negotiations on the new one or they go for sticker? Thank You.
