Used 2014 GL63

Considering a certified used 2014 GL63 for $78k. I'm wondering if the new GLS is going to dramatically impact the value of the GL models.

Should i wait or go?

I was in the same boat, and bought a CPO 2014 GL63.

To me it was more the options that I wanted, B&O, Night Vision, Rear Entertainment, in the right color combination.

I like the GL63 styling better than the GLS63, so that's just a personal preference.

I feel the depreciation has been good enough to buy without taking a significant hit when the GLS63 comes out. I'm sure it'll drop more, but I don't want to wait until the GLS63 start hitting the streets.

I saw the new GLS450 in the showroom, it's nice - but I would say the GL still holds it own, so hopefully the pricing will too.

PS completely happy with my 2014 CPO GL63 purchase.

I did and I triple love it! Polar white with designo chocolate/black interior. The only option I wanted but didn't get was the B&O system. The HK system seems a little weak compared to the rest of the car - almost to the point that it might not be totally working?

It also has a slight pull to the right on the interstate but i also purchased the extended warrantee through 2021 w/ unlimited miles. It seemed like a lot ($4k+) but i imagine these cars can get pricey when stuff starts to fail.

Nice, probably my favorite color - you also have the red calipers which is a huge plus in my book.

I also purchased the CPO ELW, the maximum possible (extra 2 years so 3 years total). It is 100% worth it.

I highly recommend you purchase the $1,750 maintenance package. You can buy it over the phone or at your local dealership, my recommendation is (no affiliation, just great customer service from Jamie):
Jamie Ruis
Mercedes-Benz of Elmbrook
(262)821-5000 ext. 331
jruis@mbofelmbrook.com

It's roughly a 30% savings and the biggest item I was not aware of - you don't pay taxes on the pre-paid, where you would if you just did your regular service A/B/etc... So that's an additional savings on top of that.

Sorry to hear on the HK, you can just listen to the exhaust note=) Kidding aside, the #1 item my new GL (coming from a GL550) was to have the B&O.

I'm wondering if you can swap out the speakers and some items to add on the B&O... The tweeters in the door are great.
