Buyer backed out. In showroom, available immediately. Will update post with pics and more info later. Just getting a feeler out there.

MSRP: $190,550

Have offer of $40K over sticker.

No Floaters.

pateljb

Take the offer

I agree if the offer of $40k over exists I'd take it.

You're not going to beat that here--have you seen how many "G63 for MSRP?" posts and threads there are on this forum?

We are a cheap bunch here.

g63bob

Not even about being a "cheap bunch". Blatant attempt to rip someone off publicly and still have the nerve to say "no floaters"

I hope your $40k over sticker offer is gone

gokro

I don't feel it is an attempt to rip anyone off. Instead, I see it as a way to float the transaction $, on the off chance a better offer floats to the top... (puns intended)

I don't think we can blame anyone for trying to make more money; I'm sure it's this drive that's afforded us all the kind of success that gives us the financial flex to be able to afford toys like the G wagon. Good luck to you, OP.

Hodog16

Haha the cheap bunch comment was tongue in cheek for sure on a vehicle that starts north of $150k.

I've no problem with dealers getting what they can, but can you imagine being the person who offers $40k over and that still isn't good enough for the dealer?

akg1984

I know! It would sting to be outbid at 40k but I doubt in this case they will be. 40k is a very fair markup. That being said, I just saw wiresonly list both their white and red special editions for 299k, so who knows!

I have to laugh here about the "cheap" comment! It's really ironic but it's very true for me. One of the reasons I bought a G was because it won't cost me anything to drive for a year or two. Heck, I might even MAKE money on it.

mercedesmax

The reason you have that opportunity is because dealers are getting well over sticker for these cars.

agree. as G63 owner, keep charging above msrp! i always believed the G63 should be priced closer to Bently Bentayga levels which my wife just ordered… we paid 240k. Thats where a G63 should cost or closer to it. To be honest, i believe quality, performance etc… are on par with each other and both handmade… but G63 is much much more wanted! infact, alot of these instagram survey etc. (not scientific) seem to favor G63 over Urus…

300SE1993

Completely agree. The G63 is actually a bargain IMO.

G63 and Bentayga have the same base MSRP. Mercedes would need to start offering the level of customization you can do with Bentley to get to that price but they wouldn’t since they’re not a bespoke brand like Bentley.

spourreza

they dont have same base price… NOT even close. base price for G63 is ~156k and bentley is 188k… over 30k difference in base price

jamesszzz

The base Bentayga starts at either $160,000 or $167,725. It’s not entirely clear from my quick search.

Probably not an apples to apples comparison since that’s the base model but I knew nothing about the Bentley until I just looked again to see what that $160,000 base price would get you..a hybrid Bentayga, their cheapest trim.

spourreza

cant compare them. you need to compare V8 vs V8… and the base V8 starts at 187,600… thats over 30k difference. thats the apples to apples comparison. point is they should be comparable and there is a 30k delta in base prices

snapshot of the top part of my order sheet.

templeton

Bottom line, Mercedes Benz should raise G63 MSRP. It's priced way below market. Even if G63 was equally priced to the Bentley, I would take the G63 in a heart beat.

spourreza

so would I. my wife has bad taste in cars 😒

JSwan724

Check resale prices in 2 years and the G will be near what it originally cost and the Bentaga will be about 60% of its cost.

infinitybreaker

Just locked up this same build at $25k over! Taking delivery next week! I doubt you will have any issues getting $50k over. Just don’t see that happening here.

spourreza

not really relevant for the topic. Point was the G63 is under priced… resale values aside.

streborx

"Under-priced" is a matter of perspective. Looking at the G's MSRP from its cost-to-build, it's probably the most over-priced production vehicle on the market. Bumping up the MSRP to supplant dealer ADM would be a problem for MB, as MB might someday need to drop it back down (such as when financing rates regain sanity, and demand moderates). Maintaining a stable (albeit modestly increasing) MSRP, and using ADM to compensate for market demand is the wisest pricing strategy. ADM is a moving target, fluctuates irrationally, varies by region and it squeezes maximum dollars from buyers. Does anyone know if a portion of ADM goes back to MB?

mercedesmax

MBUSA makes their money when they wholesale the car to the dealer. Dealer keeps an profit, or loss on the resulting sale of a car.

streborx

If I were manufacturing a product -- any product -- in limited quantities, and wholesaling it to distributors who were marking it up 30% to 40% over MSRP such that half the sale price was profit for a distributor and the other half comprised my cost of goods plus profit, I'd be adjusting my production volume.

mercedesmax

Easier said than done.
