See, that's the kind of help OP was looking for. Might not be the price he wants, but at least he can customize.

Make sure to insist on the bunny suit delivery for $100K ADM.

Seeems like the price is really locked-in at the actual vehicle delivery at the dealer, though, correct?

Selling it has gotta be breaking your heart. Have you considered adding a second wife to justify keeping it?

Yeah, if I had not recently bought a new 718 Spyder and Harley I would have told her we are keeping it! I know I am biased, and no offense to anyone else's G here, but mine is unique and it looks fantastic for not being Black or White!

I lowered the price to $200k, or $195k without the extended warranty. That is my bottom line so I may as well just set the price at that and let it ride.

I think you're short-changing yourself. You live in the "exotic car Mecca" of the east coast. After driving through Palm Beach a couple years ago, I developed whiplash from the endless parade of Euro-metal (OK, there were a few blondes who were somewhat responsible too). I think you can net $200K even if you sell your G through a consignment dealer, and it would be gone in a week.

When you can get a loaded 392 for less than a G63's ADM, it seems like a no-brainer.

guys come on. Honestly. Let’s be HONEST for a second. What person who wants a G63 is going to be “just as happy” with a wrangler, no matter how kitted up it is??? They are both cool and great and everything, but they are not being cross-shopped …….. by anyone ………. Ever.

CDHG63 has one of each and is "just as happy" with the Wrangler, so who are we to second guess him/her? If I had a fifth garage parking space, I'd buy one.

but he’s not cross shopping lol. He already has a g63 so that’s why he’s just as happy. You don’t need the extra garage space if you just trade in the gwagon.

Jeeps are cool tho. My Wife always wanted a jeep before so I just got her a G. Most people think it’s the same thing anyways but we all know it’s a world apart.

I'd trade my wife's Rubicon before trading my G, but she'd be unhappy to find her gasoline budget double.

For all you that hooked me up with allocations, thank you.
you’d be surprised how many private messages I received from dealers offering me an allocation.
before I accept one, just wanted to ask one last time.
Who has a G63 Allocation that can still be changed?

Yeah, I would be interested to hear as well what your best ADM offered was? I am "in line" with a dealership, but would ****** a build allocation immediately if it were reasonable even if out of state. The $100k+ ADM is just absurd from some of these places!

Your OP and follow-up indicate you have been searching for a build to order allocation at a "reasonable" ADM. A week later, your post quoted here implies you've been offered allocations, but none that are build to order and none that are reasonable ADMs. Hasn't your question been answered?

I'm just going to ignore all the unnecessary comments.
Cherry Hill does have an allocation but will not budge on their Market adjustment of $100,000.

anybody else know of an allocation that can still be changed?

You can certainly choose to ignore any and all comments that speak contrary to your starry-eyed dream of landing a build-to-order G at $50K ADM by year-end. But imagine for a minute that you're an MB dealer who knows its most profitable vehicle will not be produced for most of next year. You have a remaining number of allocations that must be produced by Dec 31, and your choices are:
1. take your allocations, either spec'ing what you know you can sell, or what the factory can produce, knowing that you can get at least $100K ADM on each of them
2. hold back on spec'ing one or more of the allocations, knowing that this could result in their loss, because you know some buyer wants a build-to-order G (that won't make the Dec 31 cut-off) and is willing to go $50K ADM

I sincerely wish you the best in your pursuit. Please let us know how it works out for you, and send me a big "told you so".

G63s and a few others
When do dealers get their final allocations? This month? December 31st is when they stop building them, correct? I'm not sure how it works but dealer called me and told me they cancelled most orders except a handful, including mine. He says they get allocation every mid month and they believe they will get a few more before production is closed. I am supposedly #1 on their list of 3 customers currently.

I'm not that worried since I already have a G63, but the dealer offered to buy my 2020 for a really great price if the new one arrives.

It seems that Cherry Hill was just given an additional 3 G550 allocations. They are doing these at $50K ADM. In my view, the best strategy would be to make it known to a rep that you would be interested if the ADM were to come down and roll the dice. I suppose there is an outside chance that one or more is not going at these numbers, however given the circumstances, I would not bet on it.

My allocation was received 2 months before my build date last year, so I would assume maybe next week would be the last round of allocations before the pause. Hopefully some people on the forum will get great news if that’s the case!

I’m back in line as well and likely will get one of the first 2023s if all goes to plan.

You're right but I can't stomach the ADM. Interesting how some (most?) charge ADM while some don't. Everywhere in the NY area asked for ADM so I contacted my old local dealer in my hometown in Texas and they agreed to put me on the list and committed to MSRP.

Fingers crossed it goes into production.

This. I have a really hard time believing a dealer in a major metro market would forgo $100K pure profit on a new G 63.

I believe that the Sept allocations were the last ones.
