2018 GLE63s new for $95k....

Hhhhhmmmm, got a call from my local dealer.... will take my 2016 gle63s coupe in trade for what i payed for it 4 month's ago...

Will be sold to me as new with full warranty....

Seems like a good deal...

They want to get it off the lot, they got a few 2019's on the lot so this one is not going anywhere.......

about 20% off...

Seriously Thinking about this...

What say the great forum advisors

$118k is the lowest 2019 gle63s coupe or standard....

Trying not to get excited with the new car offer... and let emotions rule...

I'd be losing the B&O stereo which sounds fantastic.... gaining a factory installed hitch... which i need... and of course more room behind the seats....

Am not interested in Cpe. The 2018 they have is SUV, not Cpe. If I were you and if black is acceptable color to you, I would take that deal for '18 in a hear beat.

Just checked, it shows they have only one '19 63 SUV left hence almost no discount (they still have plenty of Cpe 63s and many more 43s). But I know they had several (3 or 4) '19 63s SUVs a short while back and must have moved them at a decent discount.

Correct I'd rather have the standard suv and not the coupe... it's an autonation dealer so they have 72 gle63 coupe/standard and a couple of new 2018's in that mix...

Thinking....

In the end Its more money and i go from 3 to 7 yrs of warranty... that's a factor too...

I never wanted the coupe in the first place... My ML63 went out of warranty, was having issue's 2 days before i left for a 4 month trip... Wanted something in warranty while we where gone... The coupe was there in the lot and a good deal so traded for it... know we are back home and i want my standard suv back And the sales guy knows it, so he is teasing me... lol

Do it. Why do you want the SUV body vs the coupe?

COSTCO. That should do it right there We tend to use the cargo area and with the coupe it's much smaller and the lip is difficult for my wife to get stuff over....... no grab handles for the wife to use to get in...

After the windshield is replaced hopefully this morning, going over to see if we can work the deal.

Keep ya posted

You mean you have nerves to push them even lower than $95K for the new one and/or give you even more than what you've paid on a trade?...Just kidding! Please, keep us informed on details after/if it's done.

Should have known better............. sigh.......... dealer back peddled on the offer for our car... by a lot...

I passed....

So if your looking for a new GLE63s... check out that 2018 being sold as new with 56 miles on it... they are willing to deal... If I wasn't trading the other one in I would ****** it in a second.

Not surprised. In my experience, when it is too good to be true (especially car buying) it always is. Any time trade is involved with them, they always try to screw you. Buying outright is the only way to make a "great" deal with them on AMG (usually 1 year old leftover). So was it still $95K for $122K MSRP '18 63S?

I don't get it? What was he trying to accomplish by this stunt? You're obviously an existing customer, and they only stand to lose your business. SMH.

It's really their loss on all accounts. THEY need to move the '18 (and '19s for that matter) before the new gen AMGs get in more than you need to make an arguably a lateral move. I hear stuff like this and it baffles me from a business standpoint how they can be this stupid!! In the age of online sales, hagglers and dreamers, here they are willing to lose an established paying customer who they could potentially sell hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cars in a lifetime. I don't get it.

allrighty got me a new 2018 gle63s in black with the night package sitting in the garage, will take some pics later on today.

All the options as the '12 ML63 and more.... although no B&O stereo like the 16 gle63s coupe...

Massage seats, kinda cool, wife likes them....
Remote start from the phone, guess we can use it Florida but not much i'm assuming...

I'll be happy to be nice 2 to it for a few thousand miles...
