Tomorrow....

Going to the dealer for a special "come see the new GL" gig! I know they are not going to move off of MSRP ...BUT if they will give me the options at invoice and a decent price on my 2011, then I might place an order! If not..... I can wait!

Please let us know how it was. I've heard some rumors that people actually getting new GL at invoice price already.

Good Luck! Have you checked on-line inventory? I check periodically to see how many they are keeping. My dealer seems to be running through them pretty quickly.

Coincidence, I checked just now and I'm about 98% sure my vehicle is listed!! It's the exact sticker price and color. I imagine they automatically get listed even if they are sold. I'll be calling tomorrow to check, they were thinking it would arrive about next Tuesday.

Did the deal! Ordered a pretty well loaded GL450 (87K) ....but only after they agreed to 52K for my 2011 GL450. Plus.... apparently I will get another 3K off because of USAA membership and then as member of the MB Club of America there is another 500 or so in there! All and all, a good deal! Now the wait begins.......

Thanks.

The money saved is all in the trade and the options basically at invoice. I keep my vehicle till trade time ( 3 months most likely )

Do you lease your cars? If yes, when you return the leased car can you use the leased car as a trade-in for a new vehicle?

You can use your vehicle as trade if there is equity in it before the lease ends, however, you cannot use the leased trade in for the sales tax credit if you are using it to trade against a new vehicle.

Congrats! That's definitely a loaded truck! I am sure it will be more than worth the wait.

Interesting surround view is coming on it. When I confirmed my December build a week ago surround view wasn't available on the 350?
