But yes 2024's dropped when the 2025's came out and will do even more when the 2026's come out.

In reality what I've found after searching for the dealerships with the most vehicles in Texas and then going to the website is that although auto trader lists many vehicles available, the real time inventory at the dealership shows no available G63's in every case. Thought you should know in case you're searching for a G63 as well.

Mercedes has literally increased the price 36% in the last 7 years from $147500 in 2019 to almost $200,000 in 2026 while increasing the production and import of the car into the USA from approximately 2000-3000 units per year to more than 11,000 units in 2024 and this year and that's not counting the G550s and G580s. A dealer friend of mine told me 1 of 3 G63 deals at his dealership in 2025 fell apart because no one other than MBFS wants to finance cars above $150,000 and MBFS is trying to further milk the G63 by charging more than 8% on average interest on sales and leases of this car. The result is 409 overpriced 2025 unsold new and barely used (less than 1000 miles) G63s today sitting on dealer lots around the country as the identical even more overpriced 2026s are arriving on top. There have never been even half as many of a current year model sitting around in October. Next year, with the $10K increase I would guess there would be more than 1000 of them sitting on dealer lots on any day. Mercedes today is Cadillac of the 80s. The abundantly available G63 has replaced the Cadillac Deville at first and later the Escalade as the favorite drug dealer mobile. Mercedes is slowly killing their reputation bit by bit, from Taurus looking poor performing EVs that have literally won the all time record depreciation championship, to the EQG that is not good as either an electric car or off road car, to 4 cylinder C63s, to badge reengineered Maybachs, to ridiculously overpriced parts and brakes (G63 headlight is almost $8000 and windshield over $3000 and squeaky brakes are almost $10,000 to replace at the dealer) to deteriorating quality of finish and reliability, one blunder after another. Unfortunately they are now killing the G63 by overpricing and over producing while softening the ride to make it more appealing to sell even more to Grandpas and Grandmas making it even less special and rare. People who pay more than $200,000 for a car want something special and the G63 at 11,000 imports per year is anything but! Every neighborhood has all the colors! After 10 G Wagen's since 2009 I am sad to say that my next $200K plus SUV that will never be taken off road will be something more rare and special. Heck even the RR Autobiography is now 10 times more rare than the G63.

My disadvantage now is that if I want to be able to take advantage of the sales tax credit in Texas to reduce the taxes I pay on the new vehicle, both the new vehicle and the trade have to happen at the same dealership and it has to be done at a Texas dealership. So now my list of prospective dealerships has gotten much smaller.

ie the loophole, for instance, would be that if the out-of-state dealership transfers it to an in-state dealership, and then the in-state dealership sells me the vehicle. However, the disadvantage to the out of state dealership is that they will not get credit for the sale and so that can hurt their future allocations.

Thanks for advice!
