I am drooling over the deals that Collman and BA Musket got from their dealers on the West Coast. Where and how did you find that $10K rebate? Is it coming from MBUSA or the particular dealer? I'm not seeing any deals like that here in SW Florida. Also, did you buy vehicles from dealer stock or did your dealer trade for the GL you bought? LZR

My husband agreed to take another long look at the GL320. We are going up to a different MB dealer in our area today and hope to strike a deal. I would sincerely appreciate an email with a fleet discount number from Vchad and/or anyone else who make have access to one. With great thanks in advance, LZR email: LZRandall at gmail dot com |

Hello all, Does anyone have recent experience purchasing from Chicago area dealers? How did negotiations go? What was the final price you paid compared to MSRP? I"m looking to purchase either a GL 320 Bluetec or GL 450 (still trying to decide) in the next few weeks. This will be my first luxury purchase. It will be a cash transaction, so any advice on additional discounts and rebates would be much, much appreciated! Thanks in advance! |

I was hoping to get a great deal on a '09 GL450 from Fletcher Jones in O.C. (Southern CA). When I called their internet sales department, they led me to believe that they were willing to negotiate close to $50k so I made an appointment to see them. When I went in today, they flat out denied my offer (offer around $50k for a sticker price of $67k) and was given the cold shoulder. WTFO! I do understand that the well has dried up on the '09s but this dealership was beyond arrogant. I have done business with them in the past and this will be last visit. I know the deal ends August 31st but anyone know of other sweet dealing dates?

Replying to: 2bcool (Aug 30, 2009 10:27 pm) I nearly bought a GL320 from the dealer in Van Nuys, CA last Friday, but he didn't have the color I wanted. I dealt with "Art" over the phone, and he couldn't have been nicer or offered me a better deal. You should call him today. I ended up buying from a dealer here in Florida, but I didn't get as good a price. LZR |

Despite my ignorance of the $10K rebate, I still managed to buy a 2009 GL320 Bluetec last weekend. However, it was a mad dash to the end. Took the spouse to a nearby dealer for a fourth look. Spouse agreed, and the dealer offered me an awesome price if he could find a car. The dealer called 17+ MB dealers over the course of 2 days and couldn't find a thing. Nobody was doing the dealer trade. I called the MB dealer in St. Petersburg, FL, whom I had dealt with a month ago; they didn't have a car but gave me lots of leads to follow on my own. [BTW, those in the market should call that saleswoman; she was extremely helpful.] I called all over the country and kept finding the same thing: the white/tan models I saw listed as "new," were in fact "punched" -- demos which had been put into service 9-10 months ago and had XXXX miles on them. None of them qualified for the $10K. Something prompted me to go through the list of Florida dealers again. I found a white/tan 320 in Fort Pierce, FL. I called them late Thursday night; theirs had been "punched erroneously". They would try to get authorization from MBUSA to apply the incentive. They called back Friday afternoon with the authorization and a mediocre price. I leaned on them to do better, and they came down a bit. We drove up there Saturday morning and picked up the car. They lowballed me on my trade, as expected. My deal: 2009 MB GL320 Bluetec Artic White with cashmere MB-Tex interior Premium 1 package Rear seat entertainment system Trailer hitch MSRP = $68055 Sale price = $57300 |
