Dealers in NY/NJ/CT area

I am a new member here who is interested in buying a new GL450. Does anyone have dealer recommendations in the NY/NJ/CT area who will give a good deal on the vehicle. I see people on here have gotten around 12% off MSRP...I would be ecstatic to get that kind of pricing. I am eligible for the USAA fleet discount as well.

Thanks!

Prestige in Paramus NJ is the largest. Deals are probably more inventory/season dependent.

One dealer I would not recommend is MB of Nanuet. We got broadsided by a car during a test drive and the dealership tried to go after my insurance company. Apparently their own insurance only covers uninsured customers. I wasn't informed of this before the test drive or even after the accident.

I would stay far far away from Paramus MB. I had an incident with my first GL I tried to purchase from them. Without getting into details. They are very shady. Albeit I did get a full refund on a car I drove around for over a month.

if you are willing to travel a little south, Contemporary Motor Cars in Little Silver NJ is a nice dealership. I bought my GL there.

what kinds of discount (off MSRP or invoice) would be reasonable to expect on the GL?

I've had excellent service and all dealings with Silver Star in Queens... Ask for Roy R. in sales and James M. In service... I left MAnhattan 4 years ago after failings in service and a lowball offer on a trade in for my new GL63.

+1. I was at my wit's end with Manhattan dealership. Terrible experiences abound

A gaggle of MB's
The USAA program frankly is very straightforward - so feel free to work with any dealer in your area that has the new GL with color/features you want in inventory - focus on the right GL - you have USAA - so 1st things 1st - focus on finding the right rig for you..

I have purchased 2 cars at Ray Catena MB in Union NJ. Both times they were very straight forward.

Benzel Busch was always good to me. Prestige are a little cocky. Guess the high end clientele allows them to do that. Purchasing my GL from Nanuet Mercedes, so far so good.

Mercedes Benz of Greenwich - talk to Hoss, best salesman there, knows his stuff and the systems on the cars. You will likely not get the 12% you are talking about, not even close, more like 5-7% and a few accessories thrown in.

You can also try MB Manhattan. Again, don't expect 12%, but being a true Mercedes owned location, they have access to every dealer's inventory and can get you the exact car you're looking faster than any other MB dealership.

I have dealt with Keenan mercedes. They were very straight forwarded, and ended up with a 7% discount on a diesel GL back two years ago.
