21 G63 who’s selling at MSRP?
Looking to lease a new 21 G63 special order. Who’s willing to move the car at MSRP? Will make the deal in the next week or so. One dealer quoted me $50k over and another $30k but I remember seeing a few members able to secure theirs at sticker.

ADM is reality:(
Hi All, Today I was quoted 50K ADM with past relationship (2015 S550 coupe) @140K MSRP.
March build/ April delivery. Also called next state over no relationship and they wanted 45K Adm but I had to finance through MBusa. I’d be really grateful for only 15k. Is this car just at it’s hottest point in the market? Thanks

I have an 19 E1 and two other Gs (16 G63 and 17 4x4) and am getting a new G63 next month at MSRP. I ordered it in October and got the dealers allotment, so only a 3 month wait. Some dealers are just not that interested in cultivating long term relationships ..... mine is fortunately.

So sharing the name of the dealership hurts you how? You responding on a forum about who’s budging on a new G63?

i paid 15k ADM for my G63 at NJ dealer but my family members are huge customers of theirs even though this was my first Benz 😎
Agree with other poster, every customer is treated differently depending on situation....

I'm not a fan of the G class, I think its a bus but wife has always liked them. She was lucky enough to [size=13px]survive[/size] a life time of a serious illness and thought I would spoil her (we are very [size=13px]fortunate[/size]). Worked with a MB dealership advertised a vehicle at MSRP and after several emails/texts they then informed me that they want 50K over the MSRP. False advertising and dishonest. I was unaware that MB allowed their dealers to do this. I understand private individuals or non MB affiliated dealers but MB must be sanctioning this behavior. No wonder all the allocations for a desirable vehicle are hard to get because dealers are grabbing them for [size=13px]themselves. So [/size]the dealers are generating a shortage with long waits and then hiking the price. This tars the brand and give dealership everywhere a bad name. I would say to everyone wait and special order and stop this nonsense as there are [size=13px]plenty[/size] of good vehicle out there.

Cars are commodities and the market determines the price. Sometimes you get a big discount, sometimes you don't, sometimes if you really want a limited issue car now you have to pay a premium.
There are almost 400 Mercedes dealers across the country. This morning there were 22 G 63's in Priority 2-3 (unsold) status. that's not a lot of cars considering the demand.
Finally, ALL cars are advertised on the dealer website at MSRP. Even though on some of them(2020 S Class) you can get almost $20,000 off sticker. Now, would you rather pay the sticker price for the S Class because it was advertised that way???
I didn't think so. Bottom line stop complaining, if you want to pay MSRP find a dealer that will take your order and get you a car in a year or pay the market price and get one now.

I'm just a consumer and appreciate you taking your time to explain how the industry work. Could dealers take allocations they receive from MB ahead of customers waiting in line with deposits? My question is, are they making the problem worse. Don't answer if it upset you, 2020 has been upsetting enough.

I get calls all the time from people across the country that have never done business with us looking for a G 63.

I suppose that they could. Although most of the bigger dealers have stopped taking any orders @ MSRP. If a dealer wants to sell @ MSRP they will if its an order or not. Most dealers see that the market for the car is well over MSRP and have adjusted their pricing accordingly. It's a business decision. Frankly I think that any dealer that sells a G 63 @ MSRP is doing themselves a disservice. The goal of any business is to maximize profitability. If any of you out there are business owners and your business is willingly forgoing a profit I'm sure you would be upset by that. I understand if you have a customer that has a long standing relationship with your dealership, you take care of those people. However, the VAST majority of G 63 sales have been to people with no prior relationship with the selling dealer.

I agree with much of what you are saying, but I'll add that some dealerships will sell at MSRP to a new customer just to establish a relationship with a new customer who will likely be a repeat customer in the future. A little good will now can go a long way towards future profitability. It's not always about making the money that's right in front of you right now. There is a good chance if the customer can afford a $150K-$200K truck they are a great potential future customer if you treat them well now.

sorry but in 99.9% of the cases, this is not reality unless the dealer is hurting... its usually the other way around especially with a G63... the consumer first establishes a relationship and then the dealer may in the future accommodate. With such a supply/demand imbalance for the G63, any “favors “ go the established customers... sucks but thats the reality. Usually never the other way around.

As for scoring a 63 at msrp, not happening. Every few weeks or so someone always posts a similar thread, with similar replies. Ready to act quick on one, etc.. Order one and wait or pay over. There are no short cuts. I had a colleague that bought two 63's together same day off the lot and guess what, he paid 50 over for each.

That's not happening. In a typical retail environment perhaps. What is happening to the G63 is similar to Rolex and other hot watch brands, unless you have a strong buy history you aren't landing a Daytona anytime soon. No one is going to sell you a 63 at retail and leave money on the table. Furthermore, I'm sure there are loyal customers with strong by history that they can pick up the phone and call that will happily come in same day and pick up that 63.
For instance, in my case I called around to a few dealers that had them on their lots, and this particular dealer had one on the lot that was sold but not picked up yet. I sent my wife just to look at it so she could see the interior to make sure she liked the new body style. The initial buyer wasn't able to buy it, so a week later the manager called and told me it was available. Sold it to us at sticker, and we had never purchased anything from them in the past. I was so pleased I went ahead and put a deposit down on a 2021 model as well with them, and gaurantee I will continue to reach out to them in the future for my MB needs. They might not have gotten a few grand over sticker on this one truck, but they now have a customer that buys high end vehicles regularly and will be a return customer.
