I don't know if this is a function of the V6 or the fact that Mercedes sent a bunch of market introduction G550s that weren't spec'd by customers and thus are a harder sale.

My dealer has said their demand for 2025 G63's is the highest it's ever been.
Similar to what I heard. G580s are about the same as G550s. Lots of initial demand, but has trailed off. I'm still taking a chance on it, but 6-figure EVs aren't in the highest demand right now. I'm also selling my $170k Taycan right now on Cars&Bids

I thought the Mercedes-Benz V6 was phased out years ago? Unless you mean the Straight-six.

Even if the straight-six engines are much better than their V6 predecessors, the lack of V8 was going to hurt non-AMG G-Klasse sales in the US anyways.

I knew it would be drastic, but wow, even my more progressive expectations have been exceeded.

Oops I should say 6 cylinder I guess. I think it's funny how prominent Mercedes made that on the 2025 G550 engine cover.

100% due to the V6. They can’t sell G550s here in the DMV. My dealer was practically begging me to take one. Not sure if they are going below MSRP yet though as I was quick to say I wasn’t interested.

I believe that’s just how the cover is. It appears the same on our Facelift A238.

I believe I know what dealer this is in the DMV. They don’t have an ADM, BUT they force you to buy a $30k accessories package, which is mostly fluff. So they get their markup in a different way.

Never heard of this… purchasing at MSRP without any conditions or add-ons required.

Porsche dealers do this with their GT cars sometimes. Like you have to buy a watch or some dumb crap like that.

Reviews like this one of the 6 cylinder certainly don’t help.

Does anyone know if MB has barred dealers selling G wagons to an out of state buyer? My order has come in to a dealer that I purchased through before w/o issue and they're now telling me that I cannot purchase the new one but not sure if they're attempting to get out of the deal to resell for higher than I've negotiated.

There is no ban from Mercedes. I just bought one out of state and I know many others who have as well. However, it can be a dealer specific policy.

That's terrible business if you guys already shook hands, agreed to a deal, especially if markup included. My dealer cannot sell desired allocations out of state, and to local customers only verified by driver's license, but they were upfront about that from the very start

Dealers Desperate to sell G Wagons

I now regret not having walked straight out of the dealership after replacing a key fob battery.

Noticed there were quite a few G Wagons on the show room floor and briefly stopped to look at this one in a striking South Sea Blue.

https://www.mbusa.com/en/inventory/M...WH1AB2SX017314

Now the never ending emails, texts and phone calls asking me to take it for a test drive are becoming annoying. Never said I was buying anything, just that it was a beautiful color.

It seems that time is on anyone's side who is willing to wait for increasingly larger discounts on G Wagons.

it’s a G 550, not a G 63.

In previous years models that wouldn’t have mattered. The 6 cylinder is killing sales. I always thought the G550 was the better buy until MB discontinued the V8 on it.

No more MB:(
I think 550's should be readily under MSRP in coming months. Could make for a good buy.

One problem with this dealer is that they add on approximately $5K of useless dealer add ons. So kind of a hidden ADM.

Agree. I purchased a Mercedes at this dealership for my mother.

Agreed on a price in writing with the sales person and when we were in the F&I office to sign the paperwork they added some fee.

I lowered our offer by the same amount. The F&I person said no so I told my mother we were leaving.

They waived the fee when my mother stood up to leave.

These kinds of games make me want to use a car buy service like Costco, or even worse, lease a Tesla just to avoid the dealership car buying experience.

How do you know G63’s are sitting around at dealerships? Do you have more specifics? I can’t get a build date for another 4-months.
