Ok... I will chime in...
 
You unfortunately missed the August incentive, which allowed many of us to get great deals on the 2009 GL320. I bought one equipped as yours, and paid $52,000 before the Fleet Discount (which I got through my spouse). My MSRP was 68755. Interesting that I have the 20" wheels as well, but mine weren't on the sticker price.
 
Now, my car was new, I didn't get an extended warranty (which I think added about $3800), but it also wasn't a demo.
 
So, in my mind, it isn't a great deal, but it isn't a bad one either. Given that you can't get the $10k incentive, I'd be pushing the price down to around $55k, but that is also not knowing what the market is telling the dealers. I do know that paying 6k more than what I knew others had paid for the same thing is the reason that I didn't buy a P2 (Premium package 2) car that was equipped exactly the way I wanted.
 
In the end, only you can decide whether it is a great deal or not, but I think there are plenty of examples of customers able to get about $17k off sticker, so I would expect the deal to fall around there. December is coming around, and MBUSA usually runs their big promotion around that time anyway... Maybe it's worth waiting?

thanks for the feedback. the market right now is telling MB dealers that the GL is "hot" and there are very few available. I looked at dealers all around the country - literally - with direct calls as well as worked through a local dealer who was actively looking to get a vehicle for me. i think i missed the great $10k incentive in August unfortunately.
 
Question - is there a publicly available list of organizations that participate in the fleet program? my company is based in Zurich Switzerland and i suspect that we might lease vehicles through MB. i've asked my corporate HR director but would be interested to know if there was a website where i could check myself.

this list is not the most updated, for example all the credit unions are off the list already. but at least it can give you some idea...

I just stumbled across this forum as I have been researching for a purchase of the GL Bluetech, possibly even looking at one of the last remaining 2009s. Can someone please email me about how to get the best deal possible and how the fleet program works? I clicked on the link and my company was listed there. Also, someone had mentioned a specific sales person in Pleasanton, and I acutally have spoken with him.
 
Please email me at calalum01yahoo.com. I want to make sure I don't get ripped off.

i just bought my wife a 09 bluetec and i LOVE it . . . i drove it from boston (where i bought it) to columbus oh on 1.25 tanks of gas. amazing gas mileage compared to the ml 320 she had been driving.
 
there are still a few 09's left but the blue tec's are very scarce. you can search online but my suggestion is to call the dealers yourself and that's going to be the best bet. sometimes the inventory reports you find on the web are not accurate

vchad, would you please e-mail me with the fleet discount details. If I cant locate a GL, I hope to use this discount to buy an E320 this weekend.
  
Thanks!

Hi, would love some advice-I am looking to lease a 2010 gl450 MSRP is 73,915 and they are offering it for 69,200. 4000 down (2500 down plus first payment and fees). Lease for 36 months 15,000 miles. Payment is 978 b/f tax. Is this a good deal based on invoice, current lease rates and residuals or should I be working to get them down further? Thanks so much!!!!

Car_man would have to confirm, but the lease ad for the gl450 shows $2235 dealer contribution (not sure if this is considered lease cash). As far as I know the residual for the lease you're looking at is 53% with a money factor of .00135. Assuming that these are the correct lease numbers and the sale price mentioned, you're payment before taxes should be about $980 without putting any money down. I would first ask how they came to the number that they did. You might also want to check other dealers.

Thanks for the reply! Does anyone know exactly when the buy rate is released for nov. Looks like my car will be in early next week and I can lock now but wondering if it will drop in Nov. Thanks!
