For the 2024 monza grey G63, my broker help me build and order it from Beverly Hill dealership. Paid stick and the broker finders fee.
Which dealership and would we be able to call that dealership directly and place an order? Have a 24 G63 in Magno Copper Orange but it was on the lot, so it didn't have all of the options I wanted. I would like to order one, but with the options I want if possible.
I went thru a broker, but he charged me 7.5 fee.
He gets it thru dealer allocation, you could order it anyway you. like.
I could ask if he does non-cali models.

Could I just call that dealership and skip the broker?
Doesn't hurt to try.
My broker knows the right people in dealership for vehicle allocation.
His fee was 7.5K, and helped me build it the way I wanted online. I didn't bother to negotiate with him...
When it came, I just went to the dealer for financial papers and pick it up.

What dealer did you go to that had the allocation?
New here and considering swapping my RR for a G63.
There is one on the ground I’m interested in and can get it for 20k over (seems to be about avg in the North East). I’m curious what people think here given the refresh 25s will hit the market late this year / early next year. I put very little mileage on my cars so if I go and trade in the MY24 for a MY25 (dealer is saying they will let me order a MY25 at max 20k over as well (and lower if market cools). I’ve been sitting pretty with the RR since I got it at sticker so can trade it now for essentially what I paid for it. Ugh - tough call.
That’s a good deal. But if 20k means something to you, shop around. You’ll have to put some legwork in, but you could get it for less.
Thanks for the response! The 20k isn’t so bad if we don’t expect the current gen values to drop significantly because of the refresh coming for MY25. Basically I need to decide if I risk waiting for a MY25 while holding on to my 23 RR which currently I can sell for what I paid but could tank in the next year or swap it now for a 24 G63 but that could also tank given the MY25 refresh. My RR’s MSRP is $150k compared to this 24 G63 being over $200k so I guess risk wise maybe I have slightly less downside with the RR but obviously hard to say. I just need to make a call tomorrow morning though first thing and stick with it haha.
There's a G-wagen owners FB group and a few dealers have offered G63's at MSRP in the last month. I know on one of these the spec wasn't ideal but if you just need to get in as cheaply as possible, they're out there.
I think to the OP that 15k over for a spec you want is not terrible. As others have said prices vary widely based on geography and how flexible you're willing to be. I know a dealer in texas getting 30k over easily and I know Calif is also still strong.
I ended up pulling the trigger at 20k over. I love it for sure but yeah it’s setting in that I’ll be taking a massive hit on this when I want to get out in a year or so - the days of even my “family” cars being free or making money seem to be over.
Despite dealer mark ups US prices are some of the lowest worldwide. Where I live list price is twice US list price! And the prices below do not include full import duties and we don't get front bumper guards.

Apples and Oranges. Those are because of government taxes. Not dealer markup. The List price of a G63 in Hong Kong is over $400,000 because there’s a 100% tax of new cars.

Yes taxes are the main culprit. Here we buy a tax with four wheels, a motor and a steering wheel.
In addition, many manufacturers make a point of offering the best prices for the US market given its relevance for their results and the fact it is the most competed market for traditional brands (things are rapidly changing with the growth of the Chinese market and Chinese brands). Models destined for the US with same model designation may have a higher level of content than those destined for other markets. And they may also have more unseen safety and emissions features to comply with California and general US regulations. The pics above show how G63s in my market are not equipped with front bumper bars that are standard in the US. Years ago I was involved with setting up BMW here. The initial prices we received were higher than the retail prices offered in Miami and third parties were invading our market. Fortunately the factory agreed to offer us prices aligned with US wholesale prices. They achieved these prices, in part, by decontenting the units we received.
And in terms of margin, higher value brand distributors in our market enjoy higher margins than their equivalents in the US. The prices for the G63 above are all imported on an import duty exempt basis. Exonerations are granted to government officials and are re-sold to imports of high value vehicles. So, they DO reflect the cost of buying and applying an exonerated, but NOT the full price of local import tariffs. Having said that, some customers (myself included) refuse to buy exonerated vehicles and pay above the prices shown for equivalent new cars.
So, yes, the main difference is the import duty, but other factors make the price difference even larger here and in other markets.
Long-winded, but hopefully useful for MBWorld readers comparing prices in the US versus other markets.
My wife is considering a new 24 but still looking at 15-20k over msrp where we have looked. Perhaps we haven't tried hard enough. With the big changes to the 25 model (which she doesn't want to wait for ugh) I'm nervous the 24 value will rapidly tank. Any MSRP or near MSRP referrals would be appreciated.

doubt you’ll see huge falls in value. the 25 isn’t that much different and G’s have traditionally held their value and AMG models usually were always at or above sticker.
