I'm working on deals at the moment and they seem to be stuck around 81 on 86 MSRP trucks. That is using MB rate of 1.9% for 66 months. There may be extra $$ in lieu of using the finance program, but I'm not ready to close yet. Last July I had $69,500 cash buy on 2008 GL 550 new vehicle 83K MSRP, so that's the bar as I see it.

The $69500 was LAST year before 2009s were out. We decided to wait due to improvements between model years. I am interested in more info you posted on completed deals as that is always a good barometer of what's going on. If you can share specific dealer info openly or PM if you think it's more appropriate. Thanks and enjoy yours!

2009 GL550
I paid $500 over invoice for mine (2009 GL550) in April and nabbed the 1.9% APR. Had an offer for the exact same vehicle about 500 miles away for cost (dealer had just received vehicle so would have nabbed the full 3% holdback from Manufacturer which is surely why he was willing) but for $500 I was cool with buying locally and starting good relationship with the sole dealer in my area. If anyone needs invoice pricing, I have everything down to the tee (including dealer prep fees, etc).

I think my deal was very nice. I bought my 09 GL550 loaded with rear entertainment for $79,500. Also received $16,500 for my 03 Escalade which I was offered $12,500 last year in October for a 08GL550. Waited and received a great deal. I am very happy. I own a used car business so I was able to pull the right strings.

I was wondering about the $91k too - you paid *over* MSRP? I'm not sure what the bumper-to-bumper is worth (is that an extended warranty?) so perhaps that factors in but I paid $80,500 (which was ~$500 over invoice) for 09 550 with:
-Ventilated Seats
-Tow hitch
-Rear Seat DVD
Also scored the 1.9% APR for 66 months which means total interest I'll pay on my loan will be in the neighborhood of only $2k over 5 1/2 years.

Not sure if this is a good price?
I just got my 2009 GL550 with rear TV's, lighted sills, tow hitch, ventilated seats, 3rd row and rear cargo Tray, Chrome Door Handle Inserts, 2 AMG License Plate Frame and 2 AMG Key Chain on the last day of that 1.9% APR for $2500 below Invoice!
The Exact price was $77755 before tax and License!
Also Qualified for 1.9 APR

Thanks
What I did was I printed out the Edmunds.com's TMV and ask the dealer to beat it by 2500 dollars!
I just throw it out there but really did not think the sales manager would approve of the deal! Which I am glad he did. My wife and I are expecting twins in a month and has been shopping for a bigger car! and GL550 was my first choice!

Our twins are 7 now and the GL is a size you won't outgrow unless you have 4 kids. Saw 5 minutes of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" my wife was watching last night and it was pretty funny to see them driving this Dodge Sprinter van and behind the parents was 3 rows of car seats/kids in each row! Not many choices for a family of 10 together in one vehicle

John and Kate were on american chopper the other night too, there was a 350Z with a body kit on it and another minivan (mazda??) in the background when John was trying his new chopper on for size. Those two have made a ton of money off of the litter of kids they have
