Do they build the GLE 63s in Alabama or Germany?

Built in Alabama. Engine and transmission is from Germany and shipped to Alabama. If you're ordering one it saves a ton of time being built in the US because you avoid the shipping rigmarole from Europe which can add months to your delivery in some cases.

I ordered a coupe on 4/14/2022 and it came in on Monday, July 25th which is lightning fast. Everything worked out perfectly as far as timing SA said. In other words I got lucky. I negotiated a 15K markup down to 12K. Did you have to pay any markup?

Congratulations for your new ride! Must be amazing.
I called a few dealerships asking if they mark it up. Florida, New York and northern New Jersey dealership still mark them up significantly. Others in PA and South Jersey don’t do it. So I ordered her in NJ at the same dealership I already ordered my C63s 1 year ago. Without markup. Fair treatment means a returning customer.
