Something with Fletcher Jones dealers. I had somewhat similar experience with the guy in NorCal (Fremont). He wasted my time. I did what we all should do: take our business elsewhere! I'd dealt with the dealer in Santa Monica (W.I. Simonson, I think), and the one in Van Nuys are very nice and professional.
 
For other deals on '09 GL, I would recommend to check MB official site for any new deal or incentive. On the other hand, the way I saw '09 GLs, especially GL320, literally flying off the dealership, you may find it harder to locate the car that you want.
 
Good luck.

got the '09 GL 450! by 2bcool

Aug 31, literally on the last hour of the dealer's business hours, I bought my '09 GL450 in SoCal. Here are the details:
 
Obsidian Black/Cashmere
P01 pkg and Pre-wired rear seat entertainment
MSRP: $67545
Price paid: $55,545.
 
I was shooting for the low 50's but considering that there were NO '09 GL450s to be found anywhere, I bit the bullet. I'm much more hard core when it comes to haggling, but I didn't want to take the chance since it was extremely difficult to find an '09. It's a pretty fair deal IMO. I should have gone in early in August; oh well, you win some and you lose some, right? As long as the wife is happy, it's all good! What da ya'll think?

Community,
i'm about to purchase the GL after test driving the Q7 and the GL . . . there is some confusion in my brain about the actual mfg incentive. Edmunds shows that the mfg incentive for the GL is $5,000 but i've read on these forum that the incentive is $10k. can someone clarify for me what the incentive actually is?
 
thanks

I'm not sure what the state of getting deals is, but the offer seems poor to me. Many of us were able to get deals around 53k or so, and even less. So paying 7k over that would make me wait until 2010 to try again.

The $10K marketing support was expired at the end of Aug'09.
After purchasing my BlueTec I has not been up-to-date with MB program, but I am guessing that now the incentive is $5K instead...?
 
Hope this help.

Any risk using MB fleet discount by coolpartner

Any one who has used MB fleet discount please reply...
I am able to secure a Control # thru a friend who works with a company participating in MB fleet program.
Should there be any issue using the same even though I am not an employee of participating company. Is this legal.
Please if some one can answer. Thanks

GL320 purchased August 21 by dano4

Bought 2009 GL320 on August 21:
MSRP $67,325
Paid $55,546 incl. freight between dealers
2009 GL's were in extremely short supply with most dealers unwilling to release their cars to other dealers. Available colors were limited to black, white and a few in silver. As a result, I did not negotiate much. My dealer was selling everything he could get his hands on, including GL's, E's. etc.
I realize this is old news as the $10,000 incentive ended August 31. At this point, I would advise buyers to buy a 2010.
Very happy with car. Fuel computer reads high by 2-3 mpg, but still getting a verified 24-25 mpg at interstate speeds of 70-75 mph.

Yes this will be a problem. They will ask for your employee ID and/or paycheck.
