I bought a GL 320 BlueTEC with the following options: Obisdan Black Metallic Paint Premium 1 Rear Seat Entertainment Trailer Hitch Illuminated Door Sills MSRP was $69,345 and invoice $64,452. I negotiated mine down to $55,700. Don't know for sure if this is a great deal or not but it sure felt like it. Also, the dealer told me that if I came in to trade within two or three years, I'd get an awesome deal due to the $10K discount I just got. He said that I basically got the first year's depreciation built in to my pricing and that a trade up within three years would require very little cash (under $5K or so if I did it within two years). Now I know he's in the business of selling cars so I take that with a grain of salt. I have no intention of trading as I usually hold for seven plus years. Also, as I was buying, I saw two customers walk in looking for a GL 320 but I got the last one at my dealership. Sounds like the $10K discount is driving people into the showroom. |

First thing is to get the door handle inserts for paint protection even though I'm not a fan of the shining chormy things... Shot me msg if you need the dealer's contact! I highly recommend them. |

Replying to: vchad (Aug 08, 2009 8:10 pm) netscape.net. if for whatever reason your are uncomfortable disclosing the second method to the fleet rebate i totally understand. i am a small business owner and i don't think i can qualify on the first method. but like you said 18k is still a great deal on new 09 GLs....extra 2k will just make that an awesome one.... and people please don't ask me for info on fleet rebate cuz as you can see i really don't have any idea..

Replying to: rayleiwu (Aug 09, 2009 3:56 pm) Congratulations!!! How did you get the fleet rebate? through your company? It is a great deal. Did you buy any other options? like lifetime oil change, clear bra... My dealer asked me the lifetime oil change for $799. Max. 4 times a year.. What do you think about?

Replying to: collman (Aug 09, 2009 6:07 pm) No I haven't bought any accessories yet, but will get the door handle inserts for paint pretection. clear bra is worth to get as well - will research a little bit later on). as for the lifetime oil change, I myselt won't go with it since I'm a DIYer (maybe not for a MB), I'm usually not a fan of the "prepaid" things, except for cellphones:-). today's money is always longer than the future's  Shot me an email (rayleiwu yahoo.ca) if you have questions, you are in Seattle area too, right?

Replying to: nkole (Aug 08, 2009 8:47 pm) Thanks for sharing this 10K rebate, and deal that is upwardly worth 18K-20K off MSRP. Last June, my local dealer gave me a deal that's only worth 7K and I said "no thanks". I am clueless on the fleet discount details. Would any of you, or all of you, please send me the details? BTW, I am in SF Bay Area. Does any one have recent buying experiences to share. Thanks, Tony ba4musket gmail.com
