As others have posted their experiences, it cost a dealer NOTHING to put a buyer on a list at MSRP. There's no promise to deliver, no guarantee to hold the price and no buyer recourse when reality bites.

 

I ordered and purchased my current G63 for at MSRP. A friend also got his 2021 a few weeks ago from the same dealer and he paid MSRP. Some dealers do not charge ADM for orders. This may have changed post suspension, but my friend's 2021 arrived weeks after MB announced the suspension and they did not charge ADM when it arrived.

The one on their showroom floor a few weeks ago had a $75k ADM though.

 

Amid the supply line shortages and turmoil, and with G production halting at year-end, I can imagine the folks in Graz are revising their numbers daily. They'll have a much better estimate for this week's production 2 weeks from now.

 

I guess this dealership's GM finally got around to reading his 3 month backlog of MBUSA corporate bulletins that had been sitting in his inbox.

 

I made it official today. I was able to find an allocation that could be changed.
mid December build.

for those of you still looking, I suggest you call Ray at Cherry Hill Mercedes. He is a gentleman and will not steer you wrong.
I believe he still has an open allocation for a G550 and has a G63 matte black/black that is still available.

 

What ADM shall we be prepared to pay?

 

For the 63 they are asking $100k over but will accept $85k over because the build is now final, black magno with black interior

 

35-50 on g550
80-100 on G63.
there are more open allocations than you would think.
the allocation I got was just given to the dealer a few weeks ago.
don’t give up

 

The best offer I have received thus far has been $168k without the warranty but that is too low so we will just keep it and see what happens. I dropped the price in the ads to $195k so I will let it sit there - someone will see it that is looking one of these days and realize that it is a good deal based on all of the extras, low miles, etc.

 

There are more coming

 

No there aren't.

 

This seems insanely fair and consistent with the current market.

 

A 2019 G550 just sold on carsandbids for $150K. It did have 30K miles, however.

 

Without knowing what options it had, condition, etc. there is no way to tell how to judge that price.

 

I just sold my Arabian G63, 173K MSRP....wholesale for $250K, 2021, 2,000 miles

buddy sold his MY2020 G63 olive metallic with 12,000 miles wholesale for $232K

few data points

 

Geez, where are they selling them? I put mine on Cargurus and just had a couple low offers. I know the G63s are worth more but my 2020 G550 has G63 wheels. exhaust, interior, etc., 5400 miles, perfect for %195k!

 

Cargurus isn't the best place to sell a car like that.
Dealers are buying these cars for resale. Wholesalers are buying low mile examples for export.
As you mentioned, G 550's don't command the premium of G 63's.
I'd think your car is probably in the $170k range retail.

 

If that is the case my wife will have to keep it until the electric one comes out!

 

probably Manheim high line auction.

 

I guess I need a flipper that has overseas contacts. Finder fee to someone that gets me a buyer - PM me if you have a referral and mention your name to that person so I can compensate.

 

A tip for you - Contact some non-MB dealerships of verious types to see what they would offer. Often in a situation like this a dealer will give you the best number because they already have the contacts in place who will pay the big money. Or they have direct access to manheim.

 

Contact some of the dealers down in Miami. Prestige, etc. They might be willing to give you more. Call McLaren Charlotte as well. They always price their cars crazy high, so maybe they would give you a premium on yours as an inventory car to have.

 

Bob, I agree with advice to call dealerships. They are hungry for inventory. At the very least you will have a gauge.

 

I've noticed that Mclaren Charlotte prices ridiculously high, I wonder why that is and how often they get their asking. There's a Mclaren with a cracked carbon fiber bumper that sat at another Mclaren dealership for over half a year and now it's at Mac Charlotte in same condition for $50k higher. When I called them about this car they didn't disclose the crack until I told them about it. Looking their inventory, they seem more like a pre-owned exotic dealership than mclaren dealership

 

They do consignment so that's how they can afford to have so many vehicles--they keep the cars on site and just take a cut when it sells and the current owners carry the cost of inventory.

Every time I read this thread I'm like hmm I wonder how much I could get. Then I go and drive my G63 and I'm like "Nope! Can't do it."

Figure there's others in the same boat.
