Re: 2008 GL450 MSRP $68,xxx [pdnyc] by AgileMan

In Seattle area, we picked up a GL-450. Iridium Silver with P-01, Hitch and rear entertainment for $52K + Tax. MSRP was $68K. There are only a few left but found this to be better than X5 as there were no 2008's. We also got a BT puck thrown in part of the deal. We were offered pre-paid maint for $2315 and GAP for 695 which I declined. The prepaid maint was not through MB but thru another 3rd party. It is not clear what I would get for the prepaid althogh the fin. div indicated that it includes everything. A blanket statement which I did not buy into. Plan to shop around if I'd need one. This is our first SUV hence the precaution. We have been snowed in and hence not comfy driving this yet worried that the other drivers may not be cautious.
Feedback welcome.

We just bought a new 2008 GL 450 in the CA- Bay Area, and was quoted by the MB dealership for extended warranty:
for 7yr/100,000 :$ 5160 from MB (no deductible)
                         $3800 from "Automotive Preferred Care" $200 deductible
 
for 8yr/100,000 $4060 from "Automotive Preferred Care" $200 deductible
 
Does anybody know of a better deal either from MB or elsewhere?
 
Thank you for your help.

I get the feeling that this site is not visited very often. Anyway, I ended up with the MB warranty about $1,000 less than the quoted retail amount. Also considering the prepaid maintenance package of $2,000 for 52,000 miles.

I am thinking between Buy or lease a new 300 sport 09 Mercedes.
So, the offer is as follows:
Buy: 2000 down and pay 570 per month for five and half years.
Lease: Zero down and pay 530 per month for four years with 15000 mile per year limit and I have to pay 559 when I return the car after four years.
Please advise. Thanks.

From those numbers, I can only guess that you are referring to a C-Class?

Has anyone received a good deal for a GL in California? Just started shopping around and was looking for suggestions.

Hi All,
 
Let me give it a shot to keep this forum going ...
 
I got a quote of 1000 below invoice for a 09 GL-450 in the southern California area. I started with the TMV price on Edmunds, and the salesperson was very happy to beat it.
 
However I'm deeply concerned with the depreciation of GL when MB starts slashing price during the second half of the year. For example as in post #289 AgileMan was able to get $12K below invoice for his GL-450 in last Dec ... so I want to wait until the summer to see how MB is promoting their vehicles ... I'm planning to wait until GL is selling at least 5K below invoice to act.
 
My second concern is GL's initial quality according to JD Power. GL got only two stars in both 2007 and 2008, . I'm hoping MB can make it at least three stars in 2009, the 3rd MY. It looks like MB was able to do a good job in the 3rd MY as shown in past releases of other new models ... but we have to wait until June to see the survey results for the current MY.
 
Good luck with everyone's shopping.

I just saw a very good deal in March 09 on benz blog, which was 13% discount off MSRP. The same discounted offer would translate to ~ 60K for your GL450 choice.
