Priciest Mercedes GLC 63 Coupe Costs Just As Much As GLE 63 Coupe IN GERMANY

German pricing was just released according to this website.

https://www.motor1.com/news/148820/m...3-coupe-price/

Based on this information, you can see if it lines up with expected pricing for the US.

As other noted below, this price is in line with EU pricing and taxes.

Likely a huge VAT component, just like the 19% VAT on the Mercedes.de webpage. This also wouldnt make sense as it would price the car above both the GLE63S and E63S sedan...

Still betting pricing is around 67500 to start

Your post is complete bull**** and you're jumping to conclusions with little understanding of the facts. It's annoying because I read your title and assumed it was true, until I read the irrelevant source you provided.

1) UK pricing hasn't been released. Your source explicitly says that it is looking at German pricing. This should be obvious because UK pricing would be in pounds not euros.

2) When you look at the German pricing, it is very obvious that the price of the GLC63 is roughly in between the C63 Coupe and C63 Cabriolet.
- German C63 Coupe EUR78,302
- German C63S Coupe EUR86,572
- German C63 Cab EUR84,014
- German C63S Cab EUR92,284
- German GLC63 SUV EUR82,705
- German GLC63S SUV EUR90,975

3) If we look at US Pricing
- US C63 Coupe $67,000
- US C63S Coupe $75,000
- US C63 Cab $72,850
- US C63S Cab $80,850
Based on extrapolation from German relative pricing to US price structure, it seems reasonable to assume US Base Pricing will be $71,000 for the GLC63 and $80,000 for the GLC63S.

4) Another comparison would be vs GLC43 pricing.
- US GLC43 SUV $54,900
- US C43 Coupe $55,000
- US GLC43 Coupe $59,650
- US C43 Cabriolet $60,500
So if we use GLC43 pricing as a basis then the GLC63 price would be similar to a C63 Coupe or $67,000. And GLC63S Coupe will be a little less than the C63S Cab or $79,500.

5) Based on both methodologies it seems reasonable to estimate:
GLC63 SUV $67-70k
GLC63S Coupe $78-80k

5) You are claiming the base price for the GLC63 SUV will be $108,000 for the base model! There is no way any logical person would think that.

Facts attached.

Wow, Talk about BULL. Do you ever pass reading comprehension?

I QUOTED a source, Never did I state that this was my price.

This articular was released and I provided color commentary that if these prices can to america, Wasn't going to be buying it.

Why is this even being discussed in this thread? We already have a thread dedicated to GLC43 and GLC63 pricing differences.

Moderators, can we merge this with the other or remove it?

Expected price in UK is £64000 and £ 70500 for coupe.

Calm down guys. As a Brit who lives in the US I've always been aware that the UK Is a captive market that's been abused- we have a term "rip off Britain".

often regular items costing 50 pounds in the U.K. cost just 50 dollars in the US. - typically a 30% premium is added. Maybe not so much for cars, but then there's VAT as another poster mentions.

i buy the $69k base poster. Psychologically sounds like the right price point. Plus you'll want options on it so most will take it north of $85k

looks like an amazing car. The GLC43 is still mightily awesome and more than enough power for 95% of drivers.

His comprehension is fine.

You stated that "Pricing has been released..." Uh, no, it hasn't. (Unless you're talking about Europe. Which you're not.)

At the end of the article there's a disclaimer that tells you all you need to know:

Note: Raw conversion from euros to U.S. dollars. Does not take into account differences in tax.

(I lol'd at "Does not take into account differences in tax." - as if that were minor!)

Some rando on the web makes a semi-educated guess and you quote him as if he were an official source. Not a good idea, generally speaking.

Using the exchange rate rarely determines what the final price will be for a given market. Look at past pricing discussions if you don't believe me.

Furthermore - and this is no small point - there's also the fact that the article claims Mercedes as a source but doesn't link to a press release or similar from Mercedes. If Mercedes had announced pricing for the US market, there would certainly be a press release about it.

So, yeah, people are going to be irritated. (As they usually are when dealing with content titled with click-bait headlines.)

Wow, I was just posting a source with some info and I got ****ted upon like I was at fault. You guys make me feel so welcomed. I hope other prospected newbies read this post and think twice about participating. I posted this with good intentions, you assumed otherwise, Good day sir!

stealth.pilot

That's because you were feeding misinformation as fact and then denied it. Don't do it again.

LOL -- I read the first post and saw "$108K" and thought dang -- we're $4K away from just getting an AMG GT Coupe... that makes a lot of sense (except not really)..

Mr. J

Yep. He completely ignores VAT and all the other taxes that Europeans pay that make up a significant portion vehicle cost for them.
