I think SoCal, Manhattan and Miami have the highest ADMs in the country, so you should prepare yourself psychologically.
What about Plano, TX with the $100k over price. That has to top those cities.

Agree the orange color looks great. It’s one of the colors I’m considering.
After having it for 10-months, I absolutely love having the Magno Copper Orange. So much so that if I’m able to order a 2025, it will be the same color. People are always commenting on how much they love the color.

University of Texas colors are this color. So I may hit up dealers, down in that area, as it would be a hot color in Austin, TX. Plus, dealers are quoting $100k over prices in TX. So the combo of these two may get me a better price.

I just couldn’t go without the PPF and Ceramic coating, it would have drove me crazy otherwise. It has kept the vehicle in perfect condition, even after being hit with many rocks. The vehicle is a rock magnet. If you have a Magno paint color, I don’t know how you could go without.

I would really like the door locks, roof rack and cherry floor with a saddle/black interior for the 2025 if it doesn’t end up costing me a huge differential. Otherwise, loving my 2024.

With my 2021 I had a bunch of rock hits to windshield and paint but fortunately had an exoshield and PPF respectively. However, I had two rocks that hit, one still chipped the paint on the front edge of the hood through the PPF, and another hit the lower corner right below the windshield and put a divot into the paint.

After that for my 2022 and on, I've avoided driving on the highway or at least one that is crowded. I'll only drive the G if I have enough time to commute avoiding highways or if I'm driving locally.

We only use the vehicle for road trips and not for in town driving. Just recently had a rock hit the drivers side turn signal as they sit up and it cracked. But at least that’s replaceable.

Would rather have that, than a rock chip on the magno paint. Also have a film on the front windshield, it gets hit all the time. It’s held up after almost 10k miles.

We try to drive on the back roads and avoid the interstates when it’s an option as well. Plus, the two lane roads are more fun to drive. Plus I can do a little bourbon hunting!

PS: I think you’re the one that flips their G63 every year? Any tips or tricks?

It was hard enough shopping for a G at the right price, now I’ve got a trade to consider. Seems more complicated.

No guarantees is most things in life!

Some dealers like the Plano, TX dealership are asking $100k over for the 2025. It was the same with my local Cavender dealership when I shopped for the 2024. $100k over.

So I’m hoping someone out there will pay MSRP to have it right away vs. wait. We’ll see!

Well it was a little bit of luck and having the right dealer(s) to work with, and the market certainly helped too. I think those days are over but I'll still try to upgrade as often as I get allocations if the money works out okay.
