PPM (Pre-paid maintenance)
I've searched the forum and find a mixture of answers. I'm looking to get a PPM for my CPO 2012 GL350 and have been getting prices all over the board? I thought the price was supposed to be standard? I called Austin Mercedes Benz, whom are said to be able to provide a deal (based on other threads), but they come in middle of the road from the quotes that I have received.
What did you pay for a 3-year PPM? Any specific dealers to contact?
Thanks in advance for the support!

Due to the lack of response, I wanted to return so others searching for the same thing can find an answer.
Before the new year (2018), I received prices from $1,400 to $2,200 for a 3-year PPM plan for my 2012 GL350. The MB USA price was supposed to be $1,400 and consistant accross dealers, but it was not, which is unfortunate. I will not be providing any of these dealers that marked up the PPM with any of my business, even for "free" PPM service appointments.
As of January 1, 2018, the GL has been reclassed and PPM pricing has increased. The MB USA price is now $1,750 for the GL and I purchased it from one of the dealers that originally offered it to me at $1,400. Unfortunately, nobody would still honor the $1,400 price after January 1.
FYI, some states/locations have you pay sales tax on top of the PPM price and others do not.
Good luck out there!

Forgot to mention that I had a different dealer run the price of recommended maintenance for 60k, 70k, and 80k and it came in over ~$3,500...so all in all, a good buy. I think an independent would probably be around $1,750 for the 60k, 70k, and 80k.
