Placing an Order at a Dealer - NYC

After many many months of surfing this forum, Autotempest, Cargurus, Autotrader, etc. to try to find a 2019+ G63, I decided to bite the bullet and pre-order one from a dealership and just wait the 12-18 months.

I am located in NYC and intend on going into the MB Manhattan store since it is a corporate location and putting down a deposit. Does anyone have any contacts there that they have a good experience with, or since its a corporate store, any salesperson will do?

Any recommendations on whether it is better to do it in-person vs. over the phone?

Thank you!

They have dealership wide policies so any sales person will do. Just be prepared to wait a LONG time, probably the longest wait of any dealership out there. The good thing is you have the least chance of getting screwed once the car arrives.

I talked to a woman there, I think Kelly, when I was looking for a dealer last year, and I was told MSRP for a G550 or G63, much longer wait for the latter. I wound up ordering from a dealer here in FL at MSRP so it goes to show that one does not have to pay ADM!

FYI Paramus has mark up for sure. Perhaps reach out to Ray Catena EDISON. Definitely don't try Union. Got screwed over there.

i paid 15k over. who cares, drop in a bucket. and if you order and wait, no mark-up.

burbs: 2 years for G63. no mark-up... at least for Paramus. Massive location

no. got a g63 2020. i ordered a 550 (gorgeous) and didnt want to wait almost 2 years for a G63. MSRP was close to 170k. then got a call from sales manager that my dream spec 63 is at the port, customer backed out because of covid and its mine if i wanted... this was my ideal spec. decision easy. bought it for about 195k .

To be honest with a $152k G550 spec, I would look into possibly getting a G63, and then the $10k ADM is even worse.

You can get a G550 for MSRP, much easier than a G63.

Avoid silver star motor in LIC, bunch of clowns running the business. Ordered a 2019 g63 in 2018, waited a year( with MSRP deal written on the sales order). As soon as the car was released from port, they called and wanted 25k ADM. Their General sales manager Mo Elsheemy is a joke. End up getting the car (Same spec) out of state in NC.

did not want wait another 8 months to order one for msrp ( was quoted from MB of south Charlotte back in 2019). I bought the truck off their showroom but with much less ADM than New York.

no recourse if you have it in writing? Seems extremely shady even for a dealership.
