The Pricing for the 2009 GL 320 Bluetec is now available on the MBUSA website. Do not choke when you see the base price. It is almost $5000.00 more than a 2008 model.

Less than a 10% increase, then.

Across the board though. 450 is now 60K+. But the new P1 just rocks and includes KG.

Wild, no increase in base price in Canada, but Harmon Kardon and Teleaid are now options of aboot $2000 each IIRC... (previously standard)

That's a substantial increase..usually 2-3% is the norm. Something tells me it won't take long for rebates to start for 09's!

Harmon Kardon is $1,000. When I priced an '08 a few months ago with teh same options it totalled $82,250 + freight. It prices the same on an '09. I think a few options have changed, but the cost comparison is pretty close for the same equipment. The lease rate is 5.9% and the residual on the diesel is around 54% (36 months). Pretty good considering the residual on a 6 cyl. X5 is 43%.
