Mercedes G55 AMG
ML 63 AMG availability

Hello, I am trying to find a ML63 AMG - built it online on MBUSA - price $96080. So why is it when I go to dealerships they claim it is "very low in inventory" and want upwards of $105,000 (some quoting as much as $117k!!!)?

I checked back with Mercedes Benz Head Office and they dispute this saying there are no supply issues - and that dealerships should offer a DISCOUNT off MRSP (so the selling price should be somewhere between MRSP and invoice price).

Can anyone elaborate on what's happening here - am I being ripped off or is there a rational explanation to why the pricing's ending up way over MRSP?

Yup there is a rational explanation.

I don't know what state you're in, but if you're in SoCal, most dealers will beat list. If you're having trouble here, I'll personally walk you into a dealer and introduce you to a salesman who'll beat list. If you're on the opposite coast, MB of Manhattan will order you a car and beat list.
