We are getting closer to your strike price! 15k off means theyd take 20k off ha... The one on BAT only hit 300k - reserve not met. Can't wait to see where these land.

 

Time for them to pay back what they have been charging over the last few years.
Just feel back for those that paid $150K Over MSRP!!

 

they are all selling well below MSRP here in canada, barring a few who bit the bullet early. for some reason out of the 40 2022 allocations, most of them came with white interior and you can't even order one without the roof rack and the ladder. like i said in a different thread the 2022s came in last month after sitting in halifax/autoport for nearly a year due to the recall.
not sure why anyone is paying above msrp for a 2022 in 2024?

 

I passed on my allocation.
Not worth it for me..

 

Are regular 2024 G63's available for below MSRP? During the 2018/2019 switch over, they were around 10% off. I haven't found that to be the case with 2024/2025 switch over yet. Maybe in a year?

 

There won't be any new 24's available by the time the 25's come out.

 

So what month in 2025 do you think will be the sweet spot for 2024 model year prices to decline during this transition year.

 

There won't be one. The last 24's will probably arrive in April or May. 25's will be late fall or winter at the earliest. G wagens don't sit on the lot. At least not in the major cities. G 550 losing the V8 will hurt it. My help prop up used G 550 prices. Expect a price increase on the 25 G 63's.

 

Anyone know the details on the new recall? Now it's all 22s and 23s?

 

I am wondering the same thing. I just got a call from Mercedes customer service a few days ago not to drive my 23 4x4.

WooW a 2nd recall!! Glade that I didn't trade my17 one!!

 

I think this recall will take a long time to fix. Initially they thought it was a manufacturing defect but apparently the new properly manufactured differentials are cracking too so they will have to go back to the drawing board and redesign

 

What’s amazing to me is they built a 6x6 and then boiled that down into a 4x4 (I have an electric beam 2017) and then with all that knowledge, they jacked the price 100k and did it this badly?? Honestly I feel for owners of the new one who are out a ton of money, with huge markups in some cases, and what they have is a car that basically doesn’t work and never will.

 

I'm curious to see how MBUSA plans to address the expectations of their devoted AMG customers, who invested significantly in their vehicles and are eager to continue their loyalty. These enthusiasts spared no expense for top-of-the-line models, and I'm optimistic that Mercedes-Benz will go above and beyond to meet and exceed their high standards in future releases, ensuring they remain loyal patrons ready to invest in the brand once again!!

 

Realistically, do you think this is the case? My 2003 SL500 has had so many issues, it's broken more than it is fixed. One time, the drive by wire computer went out on the brakes and I had to use the gas and manual brake to get to the side of the road safely. It could have killed me. One of the scariest days of my life. The hydraulic system that keeps the vehicle level and provides a great driving experience, springs leaks frequently. I just purchased a new 2024 G63, and it took me 20 years to come back to MB, and only because Toyota discontinued selling the Land Cruiser in the US and will only be bringing the smaller Prado to the US next year. Glad I couldn't afford the 4x4 squared. It would have been a repeat of my last experience. I will say, when the SL500 runs, it puts the biggest grin on my face. Just wish it were more reliable.

 

As a passionate AMG enthusiast, I spent over 1.5 million on their vehicles. Unfortunately, my experience with a problematic S63 Coupe in the past, which turned out to be a lemon, made the buyback process a nightmarish ordeal. Since 2019, I've refrained from purchasing any more AMG models for myself, with the exception of my wife's GLS. As an alternative, I've turned to Porsche for my automotive choices, and this is what held me from trading my 2017 4x4 for the new G63 4x4!!

 

Ouch. This is harsh.

As a loyal fan of AMG, this hurts my soul.

 

Are you confident in this information? If so it just makes me sick. I love this car and hate for it to sit why they design new parts and build them. I even had a larger garage door put in so it will fit in the garage- where it looks like it may be for a while.

 

I feel certain they will make this right as soon as they can. I just hope it is sooner than later. There are only a limited # of people who will pay this much for a car and if they blow this they can lose those customers to other brands. We have had several regular G63 2019-2022 . Great cars no issues. They need to get this Squared squared away so we can get back to driving them. To me it is a awesome daily driver. Not a supercar but certainly an exotic.

 

To me, the 4x4 and its older counterpart, the 6x6, surpass supercars in terms of appeal. They bring joy to people's faces and offer a distinct driving experience, especially when cruising at higher altitudes!

 

The issue is that the design build process here failed. They raised the price by an insane amount and reduced the quality? It’s not like they didn’t already build this car ….. yes the 463A is a new body style but they already figured out how to do an axle for this weight and height. What happened????? Who is going to trust this THIRD rebuild of an AXLE??? This isn’t some electronic gremlin, this is so critical it’s laughable that this is happening.

I was turned off from a new one by the price (for the same price I got a Cullinan, which, to put it mildly, is a better car). But I’m sure glad to have my 17 squared alive and well and not cracking.

I mean say it out loud. They charged 350 (or maybe as much as 450 including markup) for a car whose axle has cracked TWICE. The after market for this should tank …. This is INSANITY.

 

The 17 squared is a keeper & looks way better than the new one!! Congrats on the Cullinan enjoy in a good health

 

I understand your frustration. I do think the MSRP was 50-60K more than it should be. However, I still think it is a badass car all in all. I will complain and fuss at MB until mine is repaired. Once it is repaired i will get back to driving it almost daily. As far as resale I don't think it will be that badly affected and I am planning on racking the miles up on it so it may not make much difference on mine either way. I enjoy this car more than my sports cars. This is a car that really does not make much sense. too tall- too expensive-etc. But I am glad I have one . Kind of like my Raptor R. No one needs a 700hp pickup. but it is a ton of fun.

 

Has anyone added a Roof Rack and ladder aftermarket? Thank you.
