Picked Up Stronger Than Time Today

Had a chance to get a new model from the local dealer and jumped at it. Love my 18 in white but the new interior is amazing. The drive difference was the final straw. The truck was on the sales floor not spoken for. Glad I was able to get it 👍

Great spec @Mopars ! I almost went with this combo. I think the blue and silver is really a standout look. I love the bullbar in silver and the silver accent on the spare wheel cover.

Very impressed with the new G63. The ride is fantastic in comfort mode and the cornering is so much better in the curves. Looking forward to many great miles.

Looks great, congrats!!!

If you don’t mind, how much was it over MSRP?

I see there are a lot more listed on AutoTrader, wondering if the over MSRP phase is slowing down...

For immediate delivery with delivery miles, over MSRP is still the market.

list a delivery mile G63 for $10K over and it will be sold in two days. The ones that sit for months are asking $40K markup or higher.

however, markups are definitely falling fast. Allocations are becoming more and more numerous, and there’s only so many people that can afford to pay $200K for an SUV.

I expect market value to hit MSRP for brand new cars this year.

I paid $205 with the msrp being $185. 24 miles on the odometer. It may or not make a difference but I couldn’t find another Stronger Than Time anniversary edition for a better price. This one was on the dealer floor so it sort of happened.

I believe you are right, by the end of the year the pricing should be at MSRP in most cities. Here in LA, they might still push for over MSRP...

Thank you for sharing. Compared to most, you got a great deal. Most importantly you love the car and certainly stands out from the typical color combination of black on black.

Can you order the Stronger Than Time edition? My understanding was that it was all allocated vehicle.

No, a dealer gets them allocated to them.

The GM at my dealership told me that 200 total Stronger Than Time G63s were allocated to the US. I think there are 5 different colors for the package so 40 of each. I'd assume that the 550 was allocated in similar numbers.

In the 2020 G Order Guide they show 2 different G550 Stronger than Time editions (Classic & Exclusive) and 1 G63 edition.

hmmmm🤔 my dealer told me 200 total (g63, g550, g350d) stronger than time worldwide. He didn’t know the split between US/rest of world or how many are g63. Has anyone seen any g550 stronger than time for sale here in the USA?

There are numerous G550 Stronger than Time editions for sale right now in the US, of each type, and they have been out for over a month now.

The G63 comes in G manufaktur dar blue, obsidian black metallic, G manufaktur graphite metallic, G manufaktur night black magno, G manufaktur platinum magno and G manufaktur diamond white bright for the stronger than time package. I haven't personally seen anything that verifies the production numbers I was told, but the 200 for US and 40 of each color is what my dealer told me when I asked if they could look into getting one for me. The ordering guide doesn't provide too much information on the package. It makes it seem like it is fully loaded for $12,600 plus the base price, but there are separate charges for most of the options like the G manufakture interior plus and carbon fibre trim. The stronger than time G63s are $180,000-185,000 msrp and believe the G550s are $158,000+.
