Hello All.

I'm currently the owner of MB E350 and BMW X5 4.8i and I'm thinking of trading in my X5 to get GL350 bluetec. I'd like to hear from people, who recently got GL350 what kind of deals they getting. Does trade in help to get a better deal or it's better to sell my X5 privately. And last question - is it true that new GL model coming in 2012.

Thanks everybody for help.

I got 10.5% off on an ordered GL350, plus the $3K USAA rebate. Car is supposed to arrive today (yes, I'm antsy).

If you want the most from your old car, sell it yourself. You'll always sell it for more than the wholesale price that they'll give you on a trade-in.

Next model is supposed to be late 2012. My advice would not be to buy the first model year of anything. Ask me how I know that.

Veti Mercedes in Tiverton RI will probably do 10-11% of something in stock

Try Wagner in Shrewsbury MA for good sales help.

Sadly, the tax credit expired on Dec 31, 2010. Maybe you can use this to negotiate the sale price a little lower.

I took delivery of my ordered GL350 a couple of days ago, so I'm really hoping the tax credit gets extended.

I'm in a similar position and would love to find a lightly used 2010 or 2011. Here's one at Viti but price seems pretty steep. What would be a fair price for this?

Call Veti and ask for Chalaro. Not sure how to spell it but sounds like cha-lar-o. Thats his last name. Forget his first name. He was great to talk to.

It seems like they are asking MSRP for this car. I think it's too much.
$65K would be about fair price.
