This thing is a beast - although maybe that's just my time behind the wheel of an E-Class talking. Big, although not clumsy big (although the backup camera doesn't have a wheel-track indicator - unforgivable). Acceleration is surprisingly good. My wife still pines for the E, which I drive now! Hey, she wanted 3rd row seats; she got 3rd row seats!
Also, can anyone tell me the biggest difference between the 08's and 09's?
You're right, supplies of 08's seem to be drying up now. Go to Hagerstown...they had at least half a dozen as of 10 days ago. And they seem to be a good group of folks to deal with.

Good luck with your shopping.
I was looking at your posts at lexus forum.
So you finally decided to forget the LX and go for this 1.
Good luck. Which GL is it? GL550?
I hope you won't regret later.
When is the delivery?
For example I think someone said 15k under MSRP. Was that like 10k of incetives and 5k of talking them down? Or is that w/ out any incentives??
I'm looking at the above vehichle at the moment with an MSRP of 68k and MB has a 10k incentive. I was told 52,000 by one dealer yesterday and am going to start shopping around more now.
Should I be aiming for the high $40's?? That would be phenomanal for this SUV.
Any advice or thoughts is greatly appreciated.

what are they using on these leases? Does the dealer prefer to lease or sell outright at less $20k and 2.9%?
Thanks
Feedback welcome.
for 7yr/100,000 :$ 5160 from MB (no deductible)
$3800 from "Automotive Preferred Care" $200 deductible
for 8yr/100,000 $4060 from "Automotive Preferred Care" $200 deductible
Does anybody know of a better deal either from MB or elsewhere?
Thank you for your help.
So, the offer is as follows:
Buy: 2000 down and pay 570 per month for five and half years.
Lease: Zero down and pay 530 per month for four years with 15000 mile per year limit and I have to pay 559 when I return the car after four years.
Please advise. Thanks.

Let me give it a shot to keep this forum going ...
I got a quote of 1000 below invoice for a 09 GL-450 in the southern California area. I started with the TMV price on Edmunds, and the salesperson was very happy to beat it.
However I'm deeply concerned with the depreciation of GL when MB starts slashing price during the second half of the year. For example as in post #289 AgileMan was able to get $12K below invoice for his GL-450 in last Dec ... so I want to wait until the summer to see how MB is promoting their vehicles ... I'm planning to wait until GL is selling at least 5K below invoice to act.
My second concern is GL's initial quality according to JD Power. GL got only two stars in both 2007 and 2008, . I'm hoping MB can make it at least three stars in 2009, the 3rd MY. It looks like MB was able to do a good job in the 3rd MY as shown in past releases of other new models ... but we have to wait until June to see the survey results for the current MY.
Good luck with everyone's shopping.

did you get the P1 , DVD , Navigation ??/
Please let me know
I am going to buy 2008 GL 450 with P1 package, DVD , navigation..v.v. it's a fully options...with only 1.3k miles on it...
Thanks
My dealer wanted to sell 3 more years of warranty for $2K..
Were either of these the dealers who showed you $18K + off MSRP? WHat was the deal y ou finally struck and do you have any idea of current deals/rebates?
Thanks for your response. :shades:
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.
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.
Thanks!
