Hi Guys i am a new member here looking for some advice.
I am in the market for a new G63 and wonder if anyone can shed some lights on the current market for it. I have asked a few dealers and was told on prices ranging from MSRP + 20K to MSRP +40K. Would it be reasonable to find a new G63 at close to MSRP at the moment? Thanks in advance!

 

Think should be possible to get at MSRP. We ordered our 2022 G63 at MSRP with a dealer we had a relationship with.

 

You need to get as close to MSRP as possible. It's a funny market - new G63's are still selling for ADM (seems like we are back to $10-20k versus $40-50k from last year), used G63's are still listed above MSRP, but trade-ins are lower now. Dealers don't want to take risks holding that much capital on a vehicle.

I had a black 2022 with low miles a few weeks ago, and I had a couple of low-ball offers ($20k below sticker) and a few at sticker. Any ADM's you pay will instantly be lost.

If you plan on keeping the car awhile, then it's a matter how impatient you are and how much cash you are willing to set on fire.

 

Thank you all for the reply! I didn't realize that trade-in value has decreased this much for G63s... Will definitely try to push to as close to MSRP as possible. Really appreciate the insights

 

Yes I was a bit surprised too. I spoke to around 8 dealers and was surprised at the tepid response.

Funny thing is dealer I sold to for a few thousand over sticker listed it for $217k and sold it within two weeks. Meanwhile their other branch across town didn’t want to even offer me a price.

 

Which dealer did you trade it in to?

 

I just started my search last week here in S. Cal where the market is supposedly "hot". I had a couple dealers who said the obligatory $75K ADM off the back and when I went back at them at MSRP, they quickly came down to $10-$15K. I had one dealership come down to $5K here locally.

From my observation this week, if it has monoblocks or the 22's, they will want 10-15k minimum. If you can find a car with 21's, it seems like they are more eager to get rid of those at 5K -10K over msrp.

 

Why do you think the 22’s command such a premium?

 

I am no expert and quote me if I am wrong but I believe people prefer the look of the 22's and the rims are forged.

 

i just got mine paid $15K over - sticker was $193 - optioned quite nicely - only option i would have changed is the cross spoke wheels - other that love the spec

oddly enough 2 other dealers that are close by are $50K over and not negotiating

 

22’s are the popular spec but that’s an easy option to fix.

 

Cant decide between the monoblocks or 21's. My initial thinking was the 21's would be a more comfortable ride but the monoblocks just look so cool (getting inspired by your spec @Hodog16)

Anyone experienced both care to comment on how they compare for ride comfort?

 

The fact you still deal with Dealers is so nice. Here in the UK the dealers do not sell the G Classes anymore you MUST go direct to Mercedes in order to get one witch they will approve you. Good for me I have 2 so I am all good not good for a new customer tho. This is the new system Merc recently introduced as before we got them from the dealers they used to cut the prices for us. Now its sticker full price. You must sign something saying you won't resell the vehicle within the first year.

 

I've had 21's, forged 22's and monoblocks now. All feel the same to me.

I'm going to go monoblocks for every build now, they look so great in person.

 

What are people seeing right now, any values softening in the SW? I have a 23 on the ship due late in the month.

 

I spoke to a respectable broker and he said you can buy G63’s at list now. Keep in mind it sounds like the 2024’s will be revised.

 

I think most people are saying $15k ADM is the max to pay right now.

Mercedes closed 2023 allocations recently, so the expectation is 2024 orders will be opening up soon. My dealer thinks they will be revised some but I know the discussions on the forum make it sound like it will be delayed to the 2025's.

Now that trade-ins have softened, I'm on the fence on getting a 2024 if it is completely unchanged, since I love the spec on my 2023, but if it's revised I'll definitely upgrade.

 

West Coast prices higher than that.

 

I don’t understand why there are regional price differences when you can easily buy a car out of state.

 

Not American, maybe someone can correct me if Im wrong. But from the sounds of this forum it seems like a lot of dealers refuse to sell out of state for a G63. So it makes sense that places like NY or Cali will be higher because they have drastically more demand and more ppl with money.

 

Most dealers won’t sell out of state so there can be regional variability. Makes sense west and northeast have the highest markets.

If dealers do sell out of state you can bet they will hit buyers with high ADMs to offset the loss of getting the vehicle serviced by a local, reducing the risk of exporting, and taking advantage of somebody who is motivated enough to buy out of state.

 

I got my 2021 G63 brand new from an out of state dealer and it was a completely seamless transaction. Much better than dealing with the South Florida Mercedes dealers was and the huge ADM's that they asked for. If you want something bad enough you will find a way to get it, leaving no stone unturned!

 

That is basically the answer. Less demand in smaller markets, less well heeled people. A lot of the smaller stores won't sell out of their market for several reasons. One being that MBUSA keeps track of the percentage of cars you sell outside your market area. Too high and you lose future allocation.
