2019 G550 AND G63 PRICE?
#351
They didn’t mention pricing, but I had the impression that the bidding didn’t start until after it arrived. I assume the gotta have it factor will be really high if you could actually touch it. They had a number of customers on their G63 waiting list.

But, as I remind people, if you are a billionaire 50 or 100k is like most people's pocket change. Give their investments half a day and all is restored!

G550 coming end of the month
Hi fellow g wagon addicts
My dealer told me to expect it at the end of the month. They got a confirmation of some sort that it will arrive by then.
anyone here know a good bank for high tickets cars? I’m use to paying under 3 points in loans over 100k but I think the market has gone up, any info would help.
i don’t really mind where the bank is located or if it’s an online lending firm.
thanks guys!

I went to a launch event at the local dealer (Mercedes Benz of Burlington MA) last night for the 2019 GT4S and 2019 G550.
The GT4 was a pre-production model that will be going around to other dealers. It's pretty sharp looking and a much more practical daily driver that can also go REALLY fast. I think they said 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 193mph. As cool as the GT4 is, the crowd clearly wanted to get the cover pulled off the G550.
The G550 is going back to Baltimore this morning and will return to the dealership again once the 2019's have been released. It sounds like they had to jump through a LOT of hoops to get it for the day. It was silver (Iridium, I think) and looks like it had the night option package as it had a black brush bar and black spare tire cover.
When they took the cover off to reveal the G550, it looked absolutely stunning. It is unmistakably a G class, but with the fit and finish dialed up a few notches. After the reveal and a brief presentation, the crowd got to kick the tires a bit on the 2019 G550. The interior is a HUGE upgrade over the outgoing design. The seats are nicer, there's more legroom for the front and back seats, there are real cup holders in the front center console, and so on. It's essentially got a proper S class interior now. Keep in mind that this was a G550, so the G63 will presumably be a bit nicer still. The GM had asked people to be careful with it because it will be coming back to be sold (I suspect it's already spoken for) once the G550's are released from the port, but someone cranked the stereo up and the new sound system is clearly a big improvement over the old model. I didn't have a tape measure with me to take measurements, but my impression is that cargo space may have dropped a bit to give the front and rear seats the extra legroom. If I'm not mistaken, the vehicle is 5 inches wider and 2 inches longer than the old model, but they added something like 5 inches of legroom to the rear seats and a bit to the front. That may or may not translate to a loss of cargo space given that the overall vehicle width has increased by 5 inches; it may just mean that the shape of the space has changed to be wider, but less deep.
My overall impression was very positive and I'm sure I'll get one, but I'm still undecided on keeping my 2017 G63 for a while or getting a new G550 or G63 sooner rather than later. The GM told me that the wait time for a G550 from them is about 5-6 months, but a G63 would most likely be a 12+ month wait. I need to see final pricing and option info to figure out what the differences are between the G550 and G63 this time. Previously, if one wanted the nice diamond stitched seats, the G63 was the only way to get them. With the 2019, it looks like a G550 can get pretty much everything a G63 has other than the more powerful version of the engine, some exterior styling differences, and most likely different suspension tuning.

Got word that they are working on certifications on the G’s now, more dealerships are going to start seeing cars appear. Although here in Canada, they are being moved around from Halifax, they still stay on hold. I finally also got my vin for my ED1 and still no pricing either but will be paying MSRP. Chart still says late December, but who knows maybe a miracle. Would be nice to hear if anyone has more info
#368
how long on the 63’s to be vpc’ed and sent to dealerships in the states ? Any eta other than late December on you’re end ?

I have a G63 on order. I don't have an allocation yet, but I am 23 on my dealer's list and there are over 80+ total for the G63. Interestingly, my sales rep says the dealership only has 12 people on the G550 list. I got to drive a G550 today. I currently have a 2016 Range Rover and I was a little concerned about moving to something so truck-like but HOLY CRAP the new G feels amazingly tight and controlled. The dealer (Dallas, so infer where it might be) has one demo for customers to drive. Even the 550 with AMG line has an amazing sound. I was getting discouraged with the wait I am told to expect (May-July 2019) but after today I know I can hold out.
