Hypothetical question Would you pay $15k over for build available 6 to 8 months or stay in line at msrp 50th in line and hope for the best?

What is you opinion on this build as well?

going with 21inch wheels because more winter tire sizes available. Please let me know if this is a mistake. Going with polar white instead of metallic because easier to match paint if scratched etc.
etc

 

15K over is nothing, I'd go with that. Wait in line doesn't guarantee anything. You may end up paying 50 or more over.

I just spoke to my salesperson with whom I have a 20 plus year relationship and he said the G market is out of control. He has people in line at 50K over. It's nuts right now.

 

Dude, if you can do it.

I know paying ADM sucks I know, but 15k is pretty much a steal in this market for only a 6-8 months wait is way worth it.

I paid 10k over and waited 8 months for my G63

If you can just do it, you won't be disappointed and if anything you can sell it in a few months for more than you paid for it even with the 15k ADM.

 

From an ADM standpoint $15k over is not bad, but me personally I only buy at MSRP.

If you want it that badly though life is short, go for it.

 

50k sure.... This is 100% BS. Got a call this weekend from a dealer in California, they have three and are offering 30k over to out of state buyer. So there sure is room for negotiation still.
when someone want details, send me a pm.

 

Well, I was offered less than 50 but I've known him well and my family has bought a couple dozen Benz cars from him, he has no need to BS me. Different relationship. Every market is different, 30K is pretty decent IMO.

 

I paid $25k for about a 5 month build since they already had allocation. Thought this was fair. Just picked her up about 2 weeks ago. $184k sticker. Absolute beast.

 

Are you sure about this? I bought set of 20" aftermarket wheels for my Lexus because of the very few tire brands/types available for the OE 21" wheels.

 

Sorry not BS.

 

I paid $15K over MSRP for my 2020 G 63 last year. Just shrug it off. Life is short. A hundred years from now nobody will care anyway

I have 22 inch wheels, and I found quite a few good winter/snow tires.
Continental Viking Contact 7 (3PMSF Rated)
285/45 22 (11.2” wide x 32.1” tall which is 0.4” narrower and 0.8” taller than OEM tires.

I spoke to my Mercedes dealer, and a local tire shop, and they said the slight difference in size would not cause any problems.

These Continental tires got great reviews too.

Depending on location, wholesale is 25-50k over MSRP. $15k is a blessing

 

Just saw a GLS Maybach with 100K mark-up on it at the local dealer. Just under 300K. Crazy.
