The Price is Right
The GL550 Base Price Game has already started and now is your chance to win an incredibly lucrative prize package which consists of...
1) A non-paid trip to Vegas, telephone numbers to the Bellagio or Wynn, and a lovely bowl of cabbage soup (including tip and tax) courtesy of Nevada Jack.
2) Web-site address for Bellagio and Wynn, courtesy of BeanCounter.
3) Web-site address for Delta Airlines, courtesy of Taz0369.
4) Telephone numbers for the hottest shows in Vegas, courtesy of oknish.
Post your best guestimate of the base price of the GL550 and whoever is closest without going over is the winner of the valuable prize package listed above.
Here are the current guesses, sorted from lowest-highest:
Waiting-4-550
dunderhi (Posted 7-9)
oknish
Stumblefoot
grussell
abcdef (Posted 7-9)
Taz0369 (Posted 7-9)
Dtextransplant (Posted 7-9)
jpeardm (Posted 7-10)
BeanCounter
Nevada Jack
So, let's see some more guesses from regular contributors to the GL550 subject like blittle, boxboss, carperson and GL Fahrer. And, let's not forget our other friends like GermanCar1, Carl Lassiter, MKW, Superchet, Can Drive 55, racyb, newtoMBGL, NYSG, gbitar, sgnelmd, x-ALI-x. Also, although I haven't seen her post on the GL550 subject, hopefully we'll get Jen (a.k.a. Newbie 2 MB) to cast a price. Heck, I'd even like to see ol' peej weigh in with a guess. Now wouldn't that be hilarious?
Personally, I'm hoping "Waiting-4-550" wins the contest at this point. With my order already placed, I'm rooting for the lowest price.
ENJOY!

Revision or Clarification
My estimate is based on KG included...in fact is based on the car you ordered Stumble...
BTW, whoever wins this non-paid vacation to LV I will offer the phone # to the Bellagio or Wynn's and all you have to do is give them your credit card number and they will give you a choice of rooms...

NJ, sorry for inputting the wrong price for you. I thought it didn't include the KG.
Let me know what you want your base price guess to be and I will update the post accordingly. Below is what I saw over on the GL550 Subject:

The prize package package continues to grow and grow. I don't know how it could get any better than it already is. Maybe someone could throw in Ticketmaster's telephone number for a great Vegas show?

Taking my cue for NJ, I will also throw in the phone # for the hottest shows in Vegas. Plus, here is where this is better than NJ's offer. You just give a credit card number, doesn't have to be yours, and you can have the choicest seats in the house.

How about that??? The prize package continues to grow thanks to NJ! Now, not only do you win the non-paid vacation, you also get a phone # to one of two favorite casinos.

The good news it appears for me is that your estimate will be coming down.

Let me stick with my $82,576.50 figure...this should make Stumble call his broker and see if he should hold his Apple stock until iPhone 2 comes out.
As a bonus prize for this confusion on my bid I am offering a "FREE" bowl of Cabbage Soup at my favorite local casino, tip and taxes included. This is a $20 value but if you win it will only cost me $3.95 in points. What a deal...LOL

Hello cjh6793!
I'm afraid Bob Barker says you need to refine your bid a bit. No < or > signs allowed for your bid.
I'd put you in at $78,999, but I don't think you'd like that one when you look at the board.
Give me a single number to post and you'll be in the game.

By the way, glad to see your figure still occupies the most expensive slot.
I really hope you are wrong on that figure my friend.

Whoever plans to get a GL550 had better be ready for $80K plus for the delivered package. I may be high on the base but I think I am low on a "nicely equipped" GL550. If a loaded GL320CDI goes for over $75K then a GL550 (with a 382HP V8) with all the "free goodies" plus the desired extras (KG and RSE) will easily top that by $10K. Also remember the price increases for '08 models.
Call your broker now!

Do buyers of the GL (as a truck) have to pay a "gas guzzlers" tax?
