20-40k over for the G63 seems to be common. I'm number 4 for the G63 at my dealer and they've told me they already have a customer's in production, which is crazy considering we don't know the msrp/price of options. Can figure ballpark numbers, but I told them I'm not picking options until pricing is revealed. Maybe a different story if they told me my allocation is going into production next week, but still would not feel comfortable.
If my build comes sooner than later, and people are willing to pay $40k over sticker for a G63, consider mine sold to whoever wants to buy it. Very excited for this vehicle, but waiting 6 more months for $40k is better.

P.S. I failed, so this is my first MSRP purchase. Maybe, I can still get an MBCA rebate...

My first purchase at MSRP also.... especially without even knowing MSRP! I went for a discount also.... failed. I was able to negotiate a service package though.... small victory.

I am hoping for some small discount on my G550, as I have never paid MSRP for a vehicle, either. I bought one of the first CLS63s for $1000 over invoice. I will swallow my pride and let some "more deserving" bass turd have it, if my dealer wants more than MSRP...

We haven't discussed pricing, but they're only asking msrp. I'm still going to ask for a discount, but expect they'll say no. I'll probably just ask for a full front clear bra and a slight tint on the windows--that's worth about $2-2.5k to me. I've found dealers to be very receptive to this. Any other "discounts/services" people have got?
On my 17 G63 I got a decent discount, and the windshield warranty. As well as the paint protection thrown in! Which I would never do again. The idiots messed up the black paint with buffer burns putting the sealant on. The dealer ended up writing me a $1100.00 check. That is what it was going to cost to have it repainted when we got the bid.
Even the goofy body shop screwed up and thought it would need repainted. Or so they said! Took me a couple of hours, and a loss of some mills of clear coat, but I got it fixed with some 3M final polish and 2 hours of time. I will never let anyone paint correct my vehicle again, especially some kid with a buffer that thinks he knows what he is doing, unless they have a proven track record.
Sorry about the rant, but this is kind of a infotainment story of sorts (: Basically the in house stuff has such a huge mark up, that they can absorb that cost much easier. Now on the new 19s, without most wanting to deal off of sticker prices, and price gouging at many places. The in house stuff may add up enough, to at least make you feel better that you got some kind of a deal.
Another thing I forgot to mention. I was considering fancier wheels. They were going to sell me OEM polished G65 wheels and tires at cost, for my 18 G63 if I wanted them. Their price was as cheap as I found on the internet. The only reason I did not do it was they went with a slightly bigger rim, and I didn't want the rougher ride and curb shot potential.
I have not seen the wheels on the new models much, but that is another option you might try to deal on if you have wheels that you think are not attractive. Along with paint protection if you can trust them, interior protection, accessories, and or clear bra protection and window tinting like you mentioned. Maybe a better deal on any extended warranties, or prepaid maintenance. I never liked wheel and tire warranties after reading between the fine lines. But thats up to a person to decide!

^ Another item to consider is tires that are competent in the snow if you live in an area that gets snow. The stock tires, especially on AMG's, are useless in snow.

I read somewhere that All Terrain tires would be an option, at least on the G550. Not an option this year...

lol, thats because the AMG (on all MB AMG Variants) are summer tires. The Pirelli Scorpions on the G550 work great, however.

Yes, I know they're summer tires and that's why they suck in snow. IMHO, it's ridiculous to sell a SUV, even an AMG, in a market that gets snow with summer tires. And yes, I realize that it's the same situation with Range Rovers and other vehicles as well. It's also kind of ridiculous to go with wheel sizes that have limited tire options available. When I bought my 2017 G63, I had the dealer swap the stock tires with BFG AT KO II's.

Have my VIN for the G63 First edition, dealer is telling me should be here November- December. Currently at the port, ordered almost 18 months ago. First allocation in the midwest. Still no pricing, but i have the paper work listing whats included. Been very patient, and im glad its over. Paying MSRP, dealer might even give me few perks.

Waiting game
Was told could see it by Christmas.
Been waiting forever - placed my order when the ordering bank opened in April of 2018.
If you count that I held off on getting the G last summer since I knew about new redo well then I'm currently waiting over a year for it as well.
Will be nice to be amongst first in my area to have one.
Seems dealers get up to dozen or so of them each if they're lucky.
I was told by my dealer orders placed now are looking at no sooner than June '19 delivery.

Sounds like great timing for my G. It reaches the port in three days. Maybe, I’ll get to turn in my rental two weeks early. I always like a day that starts off with good news.

Incidentally, I heard that some dealers may stop taking orders, so they can put allocations on the showroom floor, with large "market adjustments"! This may make it harder to secure a custom order. Of course money talks and all else walks...
