Hello,

Am looking to purchase a 2018 GLE350 4Matic or 2019 GLE400. If its okay, can someone share what they paid for their GLE? I'm in the PHX area and the dealerships seem to have several of the GLE350 (2018) although mostly RWD.
Thanks!

I purchased a 2018 GLE 350, rear wheel drive, all options. I ordered the car to get colors and options I wanted. It took 92 days for the car to be delivered. I paid $66,560.00 plus tax for the car. I have had "0" faults with the vehicle since delivery pn 30 March.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Ron. The dealership told me that they aren't getting any new ones, until 2020 GLE gets released. For now its all the leftover 2018 GLE 350 and 2019 GLE 400 that is up for sale.

mrcoolcat.........Is that from a MB dealership in your area ?

I would look at other MB dealerships around the area if you have the inclination to possibly drive a little to look at/buy a car. Unless their lot is jammed packed with current models, I would find it difficult to believe them when they say that they will not be ordering any new GLE vehicles until the 2020 version is available, which wont be until the summer.
It certainly isn't unusual for people to buy vehicles outside their local area and in other states even.
If you wanted to wait until the summer they may be very willing to deal on the vehicles they have remaining in their inventory to make room for the new 2020 version.

mrcoolcat, have you looked at CarGurus.com? There are 13 2018 GLE350 vehicles listed within a 200 mile radius of Phoenix. There are more vehicles available if you increase the search radius.

There is a white GLE350 4MATIC listed for $60k. Several RWD models for around $60k. I would think a few percentage points of price reduction would be possible. Bring cash and be willing to walk away. Another option to help the negotiation is to offer to buy prepaid maintenance from the dealer selling you the vehicle.

Is this an option for you?
