#301 of 433 Any New Data by realfan May 17, 2009 (6:57 am)
I am considering the purchase of a 2009 GL 320 and wondering if anyone has recent buying experiences from dealers in the Midwest?

#303 of 433 Prices Paid/Options by brian124 Jun 17, 2009 (6:46 am)
I'm interested in purchasing a 09 GL320 and I am debating the value (for my needs) of the P1 package which adds $6600 to the MSRP. As I don't need a navigation system, power liftgate (it would be my car not my wife's) or seat position memory (I'll drive it 99% of the time), is it really worth it to pay the additional money for the package, am I missing something? Could anyone share their experience with the stock MB stereo in this vehicle? Having a nice stereo is important but I'm not sure if I can justify buying the P1 package just for a Harmon Kardon stereo.   Also, I noticed that it is hard to find GL's without the P1 option. Has anyone had any experience ordering and if so, are the dealers willing to negotiate price when doing so and to what extent compared to a car on the lot? Will a MB dealer transfer vehicles from other dealerships?   Finally, how do you access the third row in a GL, is it easy to get in and out? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: brian124 (Jun 17, 2009 6:46 am) Most vehicles, as you have noted, automatically include the PI, and production of the MBZ SUVS has decreased significantly. Even the color combinations are pre-selected by the factory, with a preference for black with black interior. Even desired color combinations are hard to come by, unless the customer pre-orders the vehicle. Most likely, you would need to special order the vehicle without the package, and dealers are not willing to negociate price on pre-ordered cars. However, dealers do transfer cars between each other to make a sale. As it was, I was interested in the P2 package and not the P1, but am glad that the car does include both. As for P1, Keyless Go is a neat feature, as you can just open the door with the keys still in your pocket. You can also start the car with the push of a button. The automatic side folding mirrors help to negociate tight spaces and provide more room for adjacent cars. Parktronic is valuable in parking, since it is quite a long car. Parktronic will also let you know when a person just walks behind your car or in front of it. I've been at a stop, and been quite surprised to hear it go off when someone was walking close to the vehicle, behind or in front! On a simpler level, the automatic dimming mirrors effectively rid the glare from the driver's point of view, which you really don't think about until you drive a car that does not have this option. The rearview camera is an interesting idea, but I just don't place my trust in something that only provides one view. The power liftgate is quieter than the previous one that I had on my 06 ML; it does not have loud bells sound when you close it, but just quietly resumes its place. The only feature on the P1 that is a complete waste is the Sirius satellite radio. I was hoping for real time traffic, but the signal never comes through.     As for the 3rd row seats, they are easily accessible for kids; they can enter through the back of the vehicle, or, one can pull a lever on the second row seats and permit access that way. It does offer plenty of room for adults, but it would be more difficult to get in without the running boards. The running boards are a great feature and they help everyone climb into the vehicle easily. The GL drive is also incredibly smooth, given the air bellows located at all four axles and how the car automatically adjusts to the weight ratio distributed throughout the car.     As for the HK stereo, with nav it does improve accessibility, as it is connected with a Gracenote databate that looks up the CD and shows you the title and what song is playing. I might suggest that you go for the P1, as these are readily available and the features do make the driving experience more enjoyable.

Can anyone share recent price quotes for 09 320s or 450s?   Thanks! Replies to this message: lzr (Jul 17, 2009 12:30 pm) brian124 (Jul 24, 2009 1:32 pm)

Replying to: brian124 (Jul 10, 2009 7:27 pm) I'm in the market for a GL320 also and have just been to the dealer in Naples, FL. They are offering $7000 cash back on a 320 purchased from their stock before July 31, 2009. This is a pretty good deal. However, they have only two in stock, and they are *fully loaded* black-on-black vehicles ... kind of hot for South Florida.   Take a look at herefor more information.

Replying to: lzr (Jul 17, 2009 12:30 pm) Thanks Izr. I pulled the trigger. $7000 off MSRP is very good (for July). Those cars in naples were recently advertised for $8000 off MSRP on ebay. I used those prices during my negotiations. From my experience, if you can get a 320 for anywhere near $7000 off, you are doing well. I didn't want the naples cars because they had too many options.
