Is there a Bill of Laden attached to G-Wagons that list MSRP? It may not be called a Bill of Laden but a document that travels with the vehicle with the price on it? I'd like to know so I can ask to see it if I feel they are attempting to charge more than the MSRP and not calling the additional dollars an ADM fee. Don't know that I will have an issue picking up my truck but I do want to be knowledgeable about the process. Surely MB tells the dealer what the MSRP is in some form or fashion.
Thanks

 

G's in the past have been held at the VPC for various reasons, most recently emissions. Since it's a new model year, my guess is they need to do EPA certification again which will hold the vehicles at the port until it's approved. For the beginning of MY2021, some vehicles sat there for months waiting.

If I had to guess it's more likely vehicles will be held than not because there's no reason to make that information up and it jives with what's happened in the past.

 

Makes sense. The post was written like the dealerships were pulling a fast one. I understand. Checking to see if anyone else has heard that. Thanks

 

I didn’t mean to imply the dealerships were pulling a fast one. It is typical for dealers to be told by MBUSA to hold cars until a specific release date.

 

I have never heard of that being a typical occurrence. Within hours of the cars being put on a truck and shipped, they are wholesaled to the dealerships. In most cases the dealership owns that vehicle and all of the others on lines of credit.

The only instances I can think of cars being "held" is if the dealership is in possession of a factory demonstration car but in those cases the vehicle was never the dealerships to sell in the first place.

 

Same thing happened to the W223.

 

That is true for vehicles once they have been released but when you are talking about starting a new model or model year they release them after a specified date.

 

Got a call from my salesman advising me that my 2022 G550 was sitting at the port with no assigned ship. It's been there since May 12. When I spoke with him in March he gave me the PO# and said the build date was in June. Last week he told me it was built May 3. A month early? I was totally pleasantly surprised! He didn't have any information on the MSRP. He said he would call me once a ship is assigned. I will track it once I get the name of the ship.
I posted a question a while ago but haven't received any response. Will there be a bill of laden of sorts traveling with the vehicle that will have the MSRP$ written on it? I read a post today that says the MSRP is posted to NetStar once VPC release the vehicle. Is there any truth to that? Anyone know the answer?
Thank you.

 

My 2022 G63 was also built 5/13 and waiting to be shipped. Per my dealer, we will not have an MSRP or bill of laden or invoice or window sticker until MBUSA announces the pricing and after that the cars can be released from VPC with the Window stickers.

 

Curious to see if the information my dealer gave me was correct that these cars won’t be released until August. I hope I was given the wrong information or MBUSA chooses to release these cars early.

 

I posted a new thread this morning regarding just this topic.

Based on what I saw on the Monroney Label, the 2022 Base MSRP is $231,900. More details & uploaded copy of label for reference are on my new thread posted.

 

This weekend my dealer said they may release the trucks in July so hopefully that is good news.

 

Id say anticipate ~$20K increase of MSRP.

Then add double that for dealer markup. And budget that Amt for final price.

 

2022 G 550 MSRP $139,900 plus $1050 shipping plus options
2022 G 63 MSRP $179,000 plus $1050 shipping plus options.

 

Release is today.

 

Can you elaborate a little more? Like why you're saying that. Who told you that? SalesAgent said it looks like Juy, which is next week. Got the status on MyG and it still shows 'VPC RCVD'. That's why I'm asking.

 

Netstar post today. 2022 G 63's are released for sale. That means they can now be put through the process to be delivered to the dealers.

 

Yep mine should be to me next week...

 

Just looked at my build sheet and noticed something odd, line x21 states My2021??? How could that be?

 

What is the last 7 digits of your VIN?

 

X437750

 

It's a 2022.

 

Mercedes raised base prices of G63 by $23k in 2022.
Previously fully loaded would have ran about $184k msrp. Now 211K +

 

Consumers are the main reason for that increase in the BASE price, dealers are selling new ones for $70K TO $150K Over MSRP and we people are paying so why MB will not increase it by $30K?
