G550 MSRP Reality
So yes I'm another sad soul looking for a G550 to order at MSRP or close. Any dealers out there that want to help 
. Long lead times are fine. PM me if anyone wants to do a deal.
So I'm new to the G550 market. I have been looking at the G since 2006 and it was always just a bit over budget and a bit inefficient on fuel tp actually pull the trigger. Fast forward to today and I'm at a stage were the G wouldn't be needed as a daily driver and the MSRP was within reach. Luck has it i find the market is crazy now and I find myself begging for MSRP. My local dealer which I have ordered vehicles from before told me the price would be 20k over MSRP. He preceded to mention this was a great deal as they are charging of 50k above MSRP to new customers. I get supply and demand and the second sticker but after years of purchasing cars well under MSRP I just cant get my head around it. Looks like i will have to wait again but hopefully not 2 decades. Hmmmm maybe Las Vegas is the answer!

Most of us are in three boats
Boat 1
Waiting and hoping for allocation for MSRP
Boat 2
Not going to get one for MSRP
Boat 3
Great relationship with Honest Dealer and have no issues getting them multiple times at MSRP.
Your dealer has basically put you in boat 2 already. You can try to find another dealer but you will be a long time out.

Yes, disappointing I was instantly but in that boat #2. I think the fact my salesman I have work with in the past is no longer there too but at the end of the day I think msrp or I bit higher is fair and not 20k. Since time is not an issue I am hoping for msrp and a delivery in 2023.

Check this out from one of the dealers here. What a ***** experience. I even have a 2019 that I am willing to trade, buy something off their used lot and wait for allocation. Turds.
"We are not taking any orders for the 2023 G Wagon. We are building them when we get allocation and are selling them to the highest bidder per XYZ."

The production shortage isn't helping either. So many people became richer during the pandemic. Bentley and Rolls Royce sales have been going up the past 2 years. $50k over sticker is not out of a lot of people's reach.
