My G63 order finally arrived last Thursday. This past Saturday, I made the 3 hour drive from PA to NJ to pick it up and took it straight home! I was able to order this G63 for MSRP! Which I never thought was possible! I drove back using back roads to avoid rock chips, etc. I dropped it off to get full PPF this past Tuesday because I am planning on keeping this for awhile. It's my dream vehicle, so what else is left to replace it?
My build is nothing special.My favorite color is black. So it's obsidian black, black interior, and night package. I didn't opt for the night package plus because I actually like the badges to be chrome. I think it looks nice standing out. Only wish the step boards were black. I did add the AMG Performance package from forum member's advice due to the suspension. The V8 sounds so good! I am coming from Range Rovers and Teslas.
Any thoughts on maintenance plan and extended warranty plan that the dealer was trying to sell me? I am not sure what the maintenance schedule or cost is for a G63. But they were selling me a 4 year prepaid plan for $4710 plus tax. I feel like that's a little expensive. This won't be my daily driver, so miles will be low. I have a Tesla to commute to work for most of the days.
Also the extended warranty was over $9000.
First picture is from me walking up to it from where I arrived!

Beautiful, and buying at MSRP even with a bit of a drive is a win! That's a pipe dream for most G buyers in my area unless you know someone that knows someone...etc.
Congratulations!!! Also, great job getting a G63 at MSRP. That is one beautiful and bad a$$ looking G63. I know a lot of people on here talk about colors other than white or black, but I have to say it looks stunning all blacked out. I typically like everything blacked out as far as trim, hence why I went with the Night Package Plus on my Selenite Grey G550, but I have to say you made a good call opting for the Night Package, and not the Plus, because I love the emblems in chrome. It really works on that blacked out G63.
I feel like we have been following each other's journey since I just picked mine up last month as well. So, I am very happy to see you finally take delivery. As far as extended warranties, I know someone on here who works at Highline Autos offers extended warranties. I ended up going with the $9,000+ extended warranty from the dealership, just because I wanted the peace of mind - even though like you, this is not really a daily driver and I only do maybe 5,000 miles a year. I did NOT get the prepaid maintenance plan, as it was similar priced, but a bit less because I have a G550, but I said no. I am fine paying for routine maintenance on my own. I am sure you save some, but it was not worth it to me.
Looking forward to seeing more photos. Again, congratulations and so happy for you!!!!!
Very nice @Balthezor ... what have you been driving if your first Mercedes is a G63?! My contact information is below if you'd like to see additional extended warranty information, you'd be at about $4,300 for the 84 month / 100K miles, $0 Deductible.
I was told by my dealership and the guy Doug from YouTube on Benz and Bowties that the aftermarket extended warranties are actually better than the factory warranty in many instances. My dealership uses a specific aftermarket one that they have had excellent luck with over the years and that is what they recommend. Doug told me the same thing.

Warranty go aftermarket after factory expires. You still get to go to dealer for repair, you still get a loaner vehicle.
Thank you all. It's getting wrapped now. Apparently it's one of the most difficult vehicles to wrap.
I asked about the maintenance plan. Does not include brakes. So seems like the $4710 for 4 years seems very expensive. Especially since I'll probably do less than 10,000 miles on the G63 a year.
