I'd guess probably the fall but I dont expect to find a 'steal' .. its a refresh and not a redesign.. as much as we discuss this model here, in the real world they are not 'common' SUVs.. I tried that before and thought of it again this time around but realized that if you have a good relationship with your dealership and can work out a really good deal on a new car- priority 1 or 2 (ordered or on the lot) the difference was not huge.. I'd say the difference has to be atleast 15K+ for me to even begin to consider a deal.. that alone doesnt even eat the depreciation the car has already suffered
think about it this way- how much depreciation are you willing to accept for owning a car that has already taken a hit with pricing with a new one out there..
further - I'm not a big fan of cars that have been sitting on lots for months with the weather changes.. sure the interior and the exterior holds up but being started rarely, hoses and pipes expanding and contracting without any use over months - that for sure takes some life out of it.. some may disagree but its the truth..

like I said, if the difference is not amazing and substantial-- get the 2017..

'16 GL550, '12 C350
The current GL is model year 2016. Not sure about discounts, but here in the Bay Area there aren't too many GLs left --- one dealer locally only has five in stock and they're a big dealer who would normally care a few dozen. And I haven't seen any GL550s locally at all. But what inventory you find in your area, I'm sure you can use the '17 GLS as leverage.

Thanks - most of the new 2015's are in the Bay area from my cars.com search.
