#209 of 433 Re:GL's not from Germany [british_rover] by carabel Apr 09, 2008 (7:18 pm)
Replying to: british_rover (Apr 07, 2008 9:04 am) You're right about the GL size. I don't have that much cargo room in my Pilot. It is shorter. Somehow, the pilot feels roomier passenger wise. And yes the GL is heavier - why it needs the pull of a V8. Pilots are V6's. Thanks for the LR3 info on the 3rd row. I haven't seen the Rover up close and personal but will have a look. I always liked the Rovers - that is until the GL came along. But I never liked the Lexus GX - even now with the new design. As for the price of the MB GL - it really is the name you're buying.

Replying to: carabel (Apr 09, 2008 7:18 pm) I wasn't intending for everyone to get into a technical discussion about the Pilot - I simply made a comment that the GL's lines made it look like a larger Honda, which is not impressive IMO from a luxury manufacturer like MB.   Feature-wise, the vehicle is loaded, I'm just not sold on it's exterior styling - that's all I meant to say.

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Apr 09, 2008 11:55 pm) For leasing, GL is not overpriced at all. With $5k down, I'm paying about $750/month including tax with Premium + Navi + appearance package. A similarly equipped X5 costs close to $1k/month. Purchase will be an entirely different story. For those of us who lease, monthly payment, not the purchase price, counts the most.

Replying to: occarfan (Apr 07, 2008 12:26 am) Thank you. The two points that you raise around the 3rd row (no fold flat and storage challenge) and the back liftgate were "form factor" concerns that I had raised when we went and test drove the GX.   That being said, the fact that both seem to get similar gas mileage tips the scale to the bigger engine for me (we live in a very hilly area). - Lee

Replying to: coastal2 (Apr 19, 2008 9:43 am) This price seems insanely high. I would price a new one at invoice with options and then deduct at least 15 cents / mile for the miles driven if truck has not been registered yet. And if the truck has been registered, then you need to take the usual depreciation hit and considered a used vehicle for all practical purposes. Use Edmunds resale value in that case.

Replying to: coupedncal (Apr 19, 2008 1:02 pm) Thanks for your reply....how do I find out what the invoice price is? Is it available on Edmunds? I am not sure if it has been registered b/c its currently driven by a manager...i am so new to all this.... Replies to this message: coupedncal (Apr 19, 2008 9:15 pm)

Replying to: coastal2 (Apr 19, 2008 2:18 pm) This is what edmunds does best. Click NEW CARS link on top and then browse over to Mercedes section and then GL and so on. The invoice price will be next to MSRP. Choose Price With Options to see the final price (both MSRP and Invoice) of vehicle with options.   Good luck.If I were you, I'd buy with fewer options but new one off the floor.

Replying to: coastal2 (Apr 19, 2008 9:43 am) coupedncal is right. That is way too much. You should be able to get what you're looking for new with DVD player for $63,000. Once you find out INVOICE for the model you want, you should be able to negotiate a price at or below invoice. I would never buy a demo. It's usually abused.
