Preowned '09 G55

A needle in a haystack at this time but anyone know of one in the US? Prefer Blk/Blk. Would appreciate any leads, thank you!

Every day, I check all the sites ... and plenty of G550's, but so far I have not seen one G55K

I am guessing they are all being shipped overseas

P.S. I hope all is well with you ...

There are only about 300 or so G55 per year for the US. It's way too early to see 09 G55 pre-owned. Check out the 2008's and you see very very few.

I'd say you'd have to wait another 3-6 months before you see one available.

Never too early in Los Angeles! There was at least two preowned '09's on ebay however, I was still fighting with myself about jumping in again. The sickness continues and this will be #7 for me!

Several new ones sitting at dealers but prefer preowned for the obvious reason.

All's good here and hope your well also!

Every now and then, a good prospect appears on Ebay. Take a look. There is one 09 that has not been bid on with 347 miles on it. Another 09 is getting all of the attention with only 42 miles on the odo. The bid was up to 77,100 this morning. I will sometimes locate a car on Ebay and simply contact the dealer directly with no reference to Ebay and see if I can close the deal. Just a thought. Looking never hurts. I hope you find your dear machine.

Here is the second 'Used' one I have seen ... not from a Dealer, but a much better Price ... and Blk/Blk

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true

I would question the lack of information in the ad ... but the 530 Area Code is Sacramento ... worth a drive?

Actually I've recently come across quite a few ranging from 350 miles up to the 13K one you posted. With the current negative connotation associated with SUV's, increasing fuel prices and of course the economy there's some very aggressive deals on new G's. Advertised or asking prices are just that and have little baring on actual selling prices.

AGR,

If you get one ... let me know the Price

I wanted a G550, but a few message boards are complaining about the 7-speed (not the G550's, but in general)

You know I like unique colours ... so Wht/Wht or Grn/Bwn please

Not the only thing to question. The seller is using pictures from someone else's ebay auction that ended last week.

There is a Grn/Bwn on eBay ... but the Green is so Black, you can not tell it is Green at all

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...%3A10%7C39%3A1

I am sure it looks great in direct sunlight ... but I will stick with my first choice ... Wht/Wht

It does. Saw 2010 E350 Coupe in Verde Brook and it's absolutely beautiful! IMO it kills MB's traditional greens.

Have you ever seen a White/Porcelin for sale in the US? Thats an awesome combo with the black carpets but I haven't seen any for sale here. Plenty of black/porcelin but any white I see has black interior.

Wonder why no dealers order in this combo. Maybe not the most common combo but you would think there would be some around. The one the guy on this forum has looks great!

It always amazed me that U.S. Dealers only pre-order Black and Silver

There is a Dealer that has posted a decent price on the numerous new G's they have ... but when I asked the Colours ... they replied, Black and Silver. Why would I travel half way across the country to pick up the Colour that every other Dealer has it in?

You may not see one on your dealers lot however, that doesn't mean they're non to be had. If your interested just ask your dealer to check reginonal or out of state inventory.
