I ended up cancelling the order and getting my deposit back. I worked with a dealer in LA and was able to get a G63 without a markup. I am so surprised to hear dealers are still asking for markups?

I just don't get these mark ups as Autotrader has hundreds if not a thousand of them for sale at any moment. It's a fake market shortage just like housing.

You must be talking about another dealership! I ordered a G wagon and had a signed purchase order with a paid deposit. When it came in and I went to pay for it they told me, ugh, we now are adding a market premium. This is anything but straightforward and honest! This in fact is bait and switch. There was NEVER any mention of a premium. To the contrary, I only ordered from them because they are a factory store and touted the fact that they don't add any markup. Changing policy and not honoring the original comitment is dishonest.

This is abusive and sleazy and I will never do business with them again. I urge any shoppers to seriously consider any dealer but MB Manhattan.
