The last one

Yesterday I went to a mercedes dealer in scottsdale,az looking to see if they had any g55 in the showroom. They didnt have any and I was told I could only get a used one because they stopped making them.They had a 03 g500 so I decided to look at that. The dealer went to go get the keys and when he returned he told me if I want the g55 there is one more available being built, considered the last one. It is designo black diamond and I got it at msrp.

There will be a G500/55 for model year 2006, and they will all be called Grand Editions. They will make these until December 2005 but that's the rumor.

In fact this information is on STAR, so your dealer flat out lied to you.

Dude, you said that the dealer told you they stopped making them, then all of a sudden they have one more availble. And you trust them? They haven't stopped making them yet. They are still making the G500 as well. What part of this didn't make sense to you? Sorry I hurt your feelings.

They are stopping production of the G. They had one available because the guy didn't put money down on the order they had and I did. How many limited grand editions do you think they will make, it is almost impossible to order one now.

Tony's correct, Mercedes IS ending production of the G for the US market, but they ARE still available. All remaining cars will be Grand Editions. I've been told by a dealer that there are currently over 200 available build slots left nationwide, but they are being sold at a rate of around 10 per day. Point is, if you want one, especially a G55, now is the time to get it. Tony more than likely got his dealership's last remaining G55 allocation.
