Which dealer in SoCal offers MSRP for 23 E53 coupe SUV?

 

Can't speak for the dealer but check my post above.​​​​​​

 

got it, thanks.

 

Planning to go to a dealer this weekend to compare the GLC Coupe and GLE Coupe.
I'm heavily leaning towards the GLC 63S Coupe over the GLE, but I haven't sat in or experienced either first hand yet.

If I look at the national inventory, theres 200+ GLE 63S Coupes available out there, does that mean I'm less likely to have to deal with annoying dealer markup negotiations?
I'd most likely prefer to do a custom order too, not sure if that makes my situation better or worse in regards to dealer markup.

 

can you post the order guide with prices please. thank you!

 

^ To answer my own question, nope. Placed an order today and had a 10k markup.

 

I had three different dealers willing to do MSRP and IMHO there should never be a markup for an ordered car. When I was going to place my order, which I did not becuse NO 811 Burmester, NO multi-countour message seats could be ordered, it was at MSRP and one cent more. Dealers make a mint at MSRP and it is pure greed to ask for more when they literally do the least amount when a car is ordered.

 

Good job. The car is well worth the money.
Enjoy it!

 

Don’t know about 53’s only 63’s but MB South Bay in LA was very amenable. I dealt with Julian Luna and a manager named Jake. MSRP (actually they reduced it $2k below sticker because it didn’t have an option that I felt was critical to me which was only $1100). They were professional and responsive but I ultimately chose a higher optioned one closer to its destination, again for MSRP despite the starting point with a $10k markup. I would call on them again when I’m in the market.

 

Maybe it depends on your area since dealers have to consider what other local dealers are doing. The other dealers around me (NYC) that have prices posted online show similar markups and my buddy out in NJ had a 5k markup on a GLS.
I hate paying above MSRP but sigh, it is what it is. If AMG wasnt phasing out its 4.0L V8 in favor of the new 4cyl PHEV, I'd just sit on my money and wait.

There was actually a G Wagon on the floor that had a sticker of 150k and a markup of 150k... it was marked as sold... Maybe it was just a prop? Its gotta be right?

My dealer was able to place the order with the massage seats though. At least it went through on their systems, I guess I'll know for sure when the MB factory confirms the order.
The 3D Burmeister system was not available.

 

Congrats on the order. Glad the message seat opened back up.

It definitely depends on area… I was able to find the MSRP dealers in two different states plus the dealer local to me. The market is softening and the supply chain is catching up. Many dealers have multiple copies of the AMG products so it’s getting closer to normal despite the greed of dealers asking for more. My method was simple and direct, cash for MSRP now. Hopefully this information can be helpful to others searching.

PS - don’t have to buy local…

 

Thanks! I'm just paranoid now that the MB factory will strip it from my order once they start the build

And true, I don't have to buy local, but I do prefer it since I'll be getting maintenance services done by the dealership for the duration of the warranty anyway (again, I know its not required, but its a personal preference). Between shipping costs and potential future headaches, I decided I'd rather eat the 10k markup than shop nationwide.

 

That's my personal preference too.

Beyond personal preference, you might get better service from the selling dealer for squeaks and rattles, and other "Service Adjustments."
Part of the PDI costs the selling dealer is reimbursed for includes those service adjustments. They have already been paid for the squeaks and rattles.
A non-selling dealer hasn't been paid for that PDI, so if push comes to shove, they may send you back.
It's unlikely, but I've seen it happen.

Beyond that, I believe personal relationship is important, especially in service.
There is a dollar value to that for me.

 

Here's my copy, I can remove post/file when @Eaton updates first post so there's one spot for the file.

 

Is there an updated version of the order guide available?

 

Look at the post above yours.

 

Guess I need stronger coffee. Thanks

 

Thanks for the information provided. I found a dealership that would sell to me at MSRP. I cancelled the order at the other one and they immediately started calling trying to make a deal.

 

Is there anyone who ordered recently (so MY 2023) who can share their experience and timeframes?

 

I place an order (request) last week for a replacement, I was debating for 6 months over options I wish I had gotten the first time and finally just bit the bullet. Unfortunately I don't have much more update there as they don't have any available allocations at the moment.

 

I'm in a similar boat, when I placed the order at the dealership they showed me their NetStar interface and there were no available allocations.

 

Same here, but I'm willing to sit it out and wait. Ordered my MY2023 end of August and so far no allocations. On the other end, no markup too, so I just wait. Even when it will be somewhen early next year.

 

I checked with my dealership yesterday and they said my order has been allocated.
Primary status of "LF03 - Factory Order Confirmed"
Secondary status of "SA01 - Allocated (without end customer)"
Production date of 2/20/2023

The secondary status I find odd..

 

Yes. That sounds like an order for stock, not a customer order.
I'd want clarification.

 

I know allocations came out earlier this month, I had a December build date on mine, worked it all out then unfortunately cancelled it because the leather steering wheel is not currently available, which is what I currently have and like. Not a big fan of the Alcantara.

Also our 911 GTS allocation came same day (a year earlier than expected) so it made the decision easier (/end subtle brag)
