One benchmark would be edmunds.com - and compare Certifid price there for equip/miles and compare to dealer's asking price..

Also check mbusa.com - under Certified - for MB Financial incentives - a couple of nice things that add up to good plus dollars - and that comes from MBFS money - free money actually...

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately by the time I had time to go to the dealer to look at the car, it was sold that morning. The dealer knew I was going in to look at the car too and they never contacted me to let me know.

Typical dealership tactics.

I just purchased my 2012 CPO GL450 a couple weeks ago. Saw the ad on Autotrader (no photos, just descriptions up) made the deal over the phone, sight unseen (they texted me photos via iPhone), no test drive. 29k on the odo, for just under $50k out the door.

So they called me the following business day and asked if I wanted a 2012 but I told them I prefer a 2013 or later.

Good call, most would say the X166 is a worthwhile upgrade from the X164

Probably, but 2013 being the first year of the re-model, there could be a ton of bugs.

Now that's kindof a chuckle " but 2013 being the first year of the re-model, there could be a ton of bugs".

Original "problems" for some with front rotors thru into 2014 - but Mercedes stood behind that one and did what it took to get it solved..

Could have been I suppose, but being >2 years into the model on this forum doesn't bear credibility to that concern.
