USA 2014 GL350 Price

Hey everyone, first of all nice to finally be a member here.

I just pulled the trigger on a new 350 bluetec. One thing I found weird was that the dealer was not discounting the vehicle one bit. I ended up buying it at MSRP but managed to get them to throw in a few extras (illuminated star, chrome package- around $700-800 in value I believe). They weren't even honoring discount programs like the Costco one. This was in Washington state.

Is this common for this vehicle? I've never seen a dealer so stubborn. They treated me like crap in other ways too, almost telling me to leave when I didn't have proof that I actually lived in the US with me. I left at first and shopped around because of how they treated me but sadly they had the only bluetec within 500 miles of me and I didn't want to wait the 4 months if I ordered.

These are in high demand, however, I was able to get almost 3600 off msrp plus was able to get fleet car discount from Mb ( thru my company). We had to order and expect ours in March. Had similar experience as yours with some of our local dealers so bought ours from out of town dealer about 100 miles away. I am not going to let a car dealer mis treat me no matter how badly I want the car.

I can order one for $4000 under msrp but I honestly couldn't wait that long. Plus I was paranoid the dealer would jack up the price when we actually sat down haha.

Go to another dealer. My 350 was negotiated for $ 2500 off MSRP plus $ 2000 off for Fleet Discount. Ordered in July, received in late October.
