2009 $10,000 Sales Incentive

Did MB have the $10,000 Sales Incentive available in 2008 and if so I would assume in August of 2010 MB will introduce a $10,000 Sale Incentive again. I tried to locate a 2009 GL450 in Iriduim Silver in Northern California and no luck..

MB will usually put incentives out there to clear inventory as a new MY approaches. However, keep in mind that MB has also cut back on production so there is not so much inventory sitting on the lots.

You can find the deals but you have to be ready to deal when the incentive in effect. Timing for incentive and then hoping to find the exact color/options you want will most likely result in major frustration.

All the best.

Hello I have found a dealer with a brand new never titled GL 320 2008. It has a sticker of 66k the dealer has offered it at 52k. Any thoughts on this price. It is loaded with nav rear seat ent. 19 wheels, sunroof. Any thoughts???

The 08 at $52K is not a good deal. If you can find a dealer with an 09, you could have gotten as good a deal on the 09. Problem is the 09's are now very scarce. I was able to find an 09 at $12.5K under invoice. Didn't like the color combination or I would have bought it.

How many miles on it? Just because it has never been titled doesn't mean it has not been used.

Case in point; Steve the Pilot. His 2007 GL320 CDI (which they failed to equip with a tank for extra urine but instead put a spare tire in) had somewhere north of 700 miles on it because it had been a "program car" for the LPGA. That means that some extremely talented, gorgeous lovely young 19 year old Swedish bikini-team golf player was sitting right in the seat I now occupy, before I bought the thing. Hardly used (never titled) but hardly new either! Yes, Phoenix Motor did give me a break, and I'm somewhat disappointed that Teres Martori, who was my salesperson, is now over at BMW, as she's a terrific, high energy person and a really good salesperson.

Anyway, so, "New" isn't necessarily "new!" Once again, Nish is right.
