Hey I ordered a GL550 black / black fully loaded I dont want it my guy ask if i can help him sell it just wondering he is giving it to me at 1000 over invoice.

It comes i think in a month i believe. So if anyone wants it let me know. I dont want it anymore.

I have a friend that may want it.
so how much is a thousand over invoice?
what would be the total?

fully loaded, $1k over MSRP? probably $84-85k

[QUOTE=HoustonRider;2409315]fully loaded, $1k over MSRP? probably $84-85k[/QUOTE

yeah that would be over M.S.R.P !

But he said $1k over invoice? How much is that?

Invoice I believe is around 76K for a fully loaded one so I would say NY_SG's guy is probably looking for 77K approx.

sounds like bull

Not sure how you concluded that but my post was based on pricing from edmunds.com

you're asking what MSRP is... there are 2 down here sitting on a lot with stickers of $82-83k.... so add $1k to that, and you're at $83-$84k..

I can take pictures of the sticker and post it up, I was thinking this was easier.. lol

I can't believe guys are buying these and don't know what they cost.. lol..

NY_SG is in the mecca of Mercedes dealers (also known as southern California). As far as pricing goes, there is not a better place to buy one.

Base is $78k... I click all the options (NOT the add-on accessories) and it ran up $86,500... so MSRP is $78-$87k..... case solved.

Again, that's MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price), not invoice. For invoice, go to edmonds.com (among others) as noted by oknish in previous post.

oh, yep.... thats true...

I've always heard markup is 6 - 6.5 %.... is that BS?

I know a dealer would normally meet ya half way (3%)... thats the best I've be offered. Is there more to be had?

If you've found a dealer to do $1000 over invoice already, you better ****** it up right now...we might meet half way, but you'll be lucky to find a dealer to do that right now...they're just not readily available.

I agree most dealers don't even have any 550's in stock and those that do are selling at or above MSRP

6.4% is almost exactly right on the base price, according to edmonds.com. The percentage will vary slightly on the options. Also, don't forget that dealers get rebates from MB for flooring, quanity discounts, inventory interest, etc. What it all boils down to is that the invoice cost is NOT what the car ultimately costs the dealer.

Don't forget the cash flow No dealer pays for the car in full at delivery. They just pay the "juice" till the car is sold.

You can find a lot of money in a Benz's trunk sometimes.

No bull. I dont want the car I have bought cars from him for few years he said thats the price.

78k - 79k I believe fully loaded. So yeah if anyone interested let me know thanks.

there ya go... just enough info to keep people guessing..lol

So 79K plus another 1 - 5 K in "other stuff"... But whose counting it's an MB ride

I bought mine for exactly $1,000 over invoice, not MSRP. I was also offered 3.2% above invoice (split MSRP and invoice) from another dealer. Obviously $1k over invoice was the better deal.

$1K over invoice is indeeed a good deal. I found the same deal, but when we said we wanted two and asked if they could do better, the dealer dropped it to $500 over invoice (each).

I have a place in Tahoe and the dealership in Reno was actually the one that said that the best they could do was 3.2% (split MSRP & Invoice). Great job of negotiation! I would have bought from Reno if they couldv'e done' $500 over invoice for me. I now have to drive to Vegas for the GL550 rally in late October to get mine registered in NV. Actually my family and are are looking forward to it!

so at a $1k over invoice .... what did that come out to be??

good question

I don't know the final price exactly although it was told to me when I ordered the car. I ordered mine with trailer hitch, keyless go, and iPod. I believe it is around $75k. It should be here in less than a month!
