Deal Check

Hello All,

Taking the plunge and buying my first Benz. I’ve never had to negotiate for a vehicle in the past because my cousin works for Toyota and he has always taken good care of us.

After emailing a few dealers, I’ve been offered 5% off MSRP on a custom built GLS 450. I also have an offer for the 7/100 warranty for $4,200. I plan to pay cash.

Just wanted a little feedback to make sure I’m not overpaying!

Thanks in advance!

wrong forum, but in general - whenever you buy a new car you’re always overpaying.

Fair enough. Is there a better spot to post this? Sorry, I’m new here.

You posted in the forum for the GL from two generations ago. The current model forum is here: https://mbworld.org/forums/gls-class-x167-255/

Deal will depend on MSRP vs what you're paying and of course how you make out in the finance office with all those additional dealer installed add on's, warranties, service and protection plans.

Enjoy the new car!
