2 Questions

Sorry if this has been asked recently but I’ve been off the board for quite a while. When is the 23 due?

I see lots of new ‘22 55’s for sale here in S FL are they now at msrp or less?

My 2023 SL is at the vehicle prep center in Brunswick, Georgia waiting for MB to release the MSRP for the Monroney label. As far as the 2022, you need to call around to see who might go below MSRP at this point.

Mine is sailing in the mid Atlantic.

WEM: are you expecting any delays in port release?

The only delay is waiting for the window sticker (monroney label) which requires MB to finalize the 2023 MSRP. The epa cert is done for the 2023 SL.

What spec are you looking for? Do you want a 55 or 63?

MB's release of this car has been very strange. Taking orders, building cars without an MSRP is just another weird chapter in this release's legacy.

@CincyMBGuy any guess on when the 2023 MSRP will be set so that my SL55 performance trim will be released from the port? I’m at the airport flying up to Connecticut to pickup my 2023 Porsche Cayenne S Coupe that I ordered the week before my SL. Crazy time to buy cars. MSRP pricing and high interest rates.

Oddly, I can see the MSRP on ONE 2023 SL we have inbound but not the rest. I would imagine they will show in the next few days.

There are no new 2022s at my dealership. I got the 2023 at MSRP.

have you called any dealers that have inventory and see if they will take below msrp? In Tampa any new ones that come in are sold within a week at msrp. If the dealers in your area have inventory maybe try for 5k off and you will find out quickly if they are willing to discount at all. I know they are discounting new 63s.

yes I have, 22 55’s are either at msrp or a few thousand when in stock. For the 23’s they are asking $25k over … the sales guy and I had a good laugh on that one. Seems to me it’s best to wait for the 23’s to hit the dealers than they’ll be more flexible on them plus any remaining 22’s at that time. The market appears to be changing albeit slowly l

I’m a cash buyer but as others have indicated with lease/purchase rates so high I can’t imagine the demand still being as robust as a few mos or so ago.

You're in prime SL country down in FL. There's plenty of money and year round weather for those cars. I'd recommend looking north. Our dealership has three 2022's on the showroom right now as well as other cabriolet models. They just don't sell this time of the year in the region.

I assume you’re in OH. wem’s in GA just one state up and he got msrp although we don’t know if a trade was involved. What kind of discounts are you guys offering on your 22’s and would you do msrp if I ordered a 23? You can pm if you prefer Thx

Is there a way to check the EPA cert for specific models? TIA

This should be the link to the EPA site. You will find a link on the page to the list of certified vehicles by manufacturer, year, and model.

@BLAM that is the million dollar question. The 2023 MSRP has not been officially set so my car is stuck at the port until the pricing is finalized by MB for the. Monroney label. The car cannot be released to the dealer until this is finalized. My dealer suspects the increase will be minimal.
