    The sport appearance package is a stand alone option. My GLK has metallic paint ($720), heated front seats ($750), keyless go ($650), Nav + 4 ($1290), Premium pkg ($3200), and sport appearance pkg ($990). The total MSRP was $44,355 and I paid $39,700 but I also got first two payments made for me ($1300). So, net cost was $38,300. They gave me 66 months @ 1.9% financing as well.

    The keyless go and sport appearance pkg were definitely worth it, but the rest is just fluff.

    Good luck!

    Thanks vinnyny! It seems appearance package is factory installed option and dealer does not do it usually. But thanks for sharing the info!

    With 2013 coming, can anyone share recent quote/ purchased price for 2012 GLK350 near CA Bay area? Sharing any experience in getting the best deal is appreciated.
  • cjbrowncjbrown Member Posts: 29
    Use AAA's buying service. Best deal you can get.
  • citimorgancitimorgan Member Posts: 7
    I just bought a base GLK in south bay, I shopped SJ peninsula and Fremont benz, let me know if you need dealership info.

    We leased a GLK350 4MATIC, $7k off the $48,015 MSRP including conquest. I used Edmunds to build the car, then contacted Edmunds nearby dealer list. Berberian European Motors in Stockton CA came through with no haggle Internet deals, then delivered both the car and papers to our door.

    I would imagine puchase deals are similar.
  • rywu2012rywu2012 Member Posts: 4
    Hi citimorgan, do you have to order the base model or was it in stock, appreciate if you can share how much you paid (otd) and which dealer you bought this from, and do you recommend the dealer? thanks!

    MSRP $44,355 (Premium Package, Multimedia Package, Heated Seats, Keyless Go)
    Invoice $41,312
    Purchase Price $38,900 (discount of $5455 inc Conquest)
    60 month loan, 2.99% (Dealer discounted 1 point from their typical Mercedes rate here in Arizona for credit scores of 760+)

    Traded-a 2008 Infinit EX35 with $55k miles for $19,000. EX35 was in Very Good Condition, but not Outstanding.
    KBB Trade-in is $16,800k Fair - $20,275 Outstanding.
    KBB Private Party Sale Value is $19,200 - $22,600
    Here in AZ cars generally go for about 10% back of book on Trades, Private Party and Dealer Retail. I probably could have sold the car Private Party for $20,000+/-
    Trading-in for $19,000 also saved me $1672 in sales tax. So, I would have had to sell the car for $20,672 to do better than I did trading it in for $19,000.

    I actually believe the dealer pumped the Trade-in value up $1000 to make it look better and to not make it look as though they discounted their car so much.

    Meaning the deal could have been structured like this and cost exactly the same.
    MSRP $44,355
    Invoice $41,312
    Purchase Price $37,900 (Discount of $6455)
    Trade $18,000

    Hi Blackglk350az,

    Which dealership in AZ did you buy your GLK? We looked in Chandler last weekend. The model metallic grey we looked did not have the multimedia package. So thinking about going for one with Multimedia package and i think there are only 2 colors , white and black.

    So what was the total OTD cost on the vehicle?
    Will appreciate your response.

    Thanks
    Sri
  • blackglk350azblackglk350az Member Posts: 3
    It is the same dealership - Chandler
    $19,855 due after trade + the usual non-negotiable items:
    Tax ($1747),
    Title/license ($750)
    Doc fee ($489)
  • phxsuns1phxsuns1 Member Posts: 12
    Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

    I actually took delivery of the GLK350 yesterday. All the fugures I gave were based on what was agreed upon. There were no surprises yesterday. All went smooth.

    A couple of additional points.
    1) They credited the unused portion of the Registration on the EX35, so it ended up being $422, not $750.

    2) Ther Finance Manager offered 66 months at the same 2.99% rate, so I took it.

    Any idea how long this conquest incentive is good for?

    What is everyone hearing about the 2013 GLK?

    I am hearing they'll be showing up at dealerships in mid-August.

    I also e-mailed Mercedes and asked when the "Build Your Own" 2013 GLK would go live and they said mid-August.

    We are shopping at 2013 X3 against the new GLK... and are waiting to see the car before deciding.

    Thanks!
  • cjbrowncjbrown Member Posts: 29
    A minor facelift, same basic car. Where did they put the shifter????? LOL!

    20 months and 15K, mine has never been back to the dealer. Just a fantastic car, still love it to death. Would love to have a crd diesel. We may end up buying ours at lease end - 39mo.

    The bimmer is a nice car, probably a little more performance oriented (we have a 325) while the benzo is more luxo oriented. To me that's the basic difference in philosophies of the two companies, not that either is completely one way or the other.

    Our 325 'vert is a '01 with 106K and is still a very nice solid car. Not recommended though unless you can do your own maint and repairs. It has been said that owning any of these cars out of warranty is suicide. I survive as a shade-tree mech.

    My money would be on the GLK. BTW, lots of leases coming back, so if you want to save about 40% and get a great car, a CPO might be something to consider.

    I dropped by a dealer here in SoCal yesterday and they had just received a few 2013's in the past week. I took one out for a short test drive and thought it drove pretty well. It was very quiet, handled road transitions well and felt solid. I'm not sure about the steering feel - seemed a little vague. They only had the RWD versions on the lot.

    I will be comparing this to the X3 and Q5. I drove the SRX but didn't like the overall driving position and size. I'm driving a BMW 135i convertible now but am thinking about getting into something higher off the ground and more versatile for carrying things around and going into the mountains during the winter, etc.

    Let me know what you think after you've had a chance to test and compare.
  • cjbrowncjbrown Member Posts: 29
    Wished I could talk the wifey into a 1-35i. She's stuck on the 3-series.

    Keep in mind the GLK is not a sports car. Definitely a smallish SUV. It drives like a Mercedes Benz, good or bad. I would guess both of the others are going to handle a little better.

    Personally I would not own an Audi. I will never forget the 100LS or the 5000. Will never forgive them for those abominations.

    The bimmer is a great car. You really just have to decide if you're a Mercedes guy or a BMW guy. For me it was a no-brainer, I'm a Mercedes guy. The wife? She's a BMW gal, so that's what she would choose.

    They are both great cars. You really can't go wrong either way.

    I must be a BMW guy as that's what I've been driving for the last ten years. The Mercedes would be a first for me. I'll take a look at the X1, too.

    I purchased a 2012 GLK350 (2 wheel drive) with Premium 1 Package (the MSRP of which was $41,425) at $32,100 (this included the destination / freight and it included 3 years maitenece package $700 value). The car is Iridium Silver with black interior. I bought this from Mercedes dealer in Alexandria, VA. Please talk to the management straight for a better deal. They have 1 more left but with more options. Dont know if there is better out there but I am pretty happy with the purchase deal.

    MSRP $41,000 (Heated Seats)
    Purchase Price $35,500 (discount of $5500)

    Traded-a 2010 GLK with $12k miles for $23,800. KBB Trade-in is Excellent: $27100 Very good $26600 good $25700
  • cjbrowncjbrown Member Posts: 29
    Sounds like they gave you a good discount off the price and took it back with an under-allow on your trade. Oh well.

    I've got a '11 with 19K I might put up for sale. Trying to decide. It's been a fantastic car, love it for sure.

    We liked it so much she got a C250 Coupe last month. Nice driving car loaded with nice touches. Definitely sport luxury. And it's fast. That little 4-banger is smooth and turboed out for power.

    I am shopping for the 2013 GLK... my local dealership in Raleigh, NC offers me $3000 off the MSRP.

    Can someone please let me know the recent prices paid ,if you had purchased around neighboring states such as NC, SC or VA

  • ken_floridaken_florida Member Posts: 28

    Just pre-ordered my wife's 2013 GLK350 on 2/2/2013 just made the February window and should have it by April. Here are the options:

    Pebble Grey, Leather Pack "Mocha Leather", Prem Pack, Multimedia Pack, AMG Styling, Lighting Pack, 4MATIC Pack, Driver Assit Pack, Parktronic, HK Sound, Keyless Go, Heated Seats, Brushed Alum. Run Boards, and Trailer Hitch.

    MSRP $59685

    Purchase Price $53975

    9.5% off MSRP in Northern California (SF Bay Area). I'm pretty sure, I could've gotten a better deal, if I would have dealt with multiple dealerships. But, the salesman we first dealt with, made things so easy, wasn't pushy or tried to sell us anything, answered all out questions, and let us test drive several cars that day.

    I did a lot of Internet research prior to meeting with him for the 2nd time to negotiate pricing. I decided just to deal with him because he went out of his way several times to make us feel like a true customer. Really made out first MB experience an excellent one! Overall, we feel we got an excellent deal.
  • vinnynyvinnyny Member Posts: 764
    Did you buy a GLK or a GL? i love my GLK, but couldn't imagine paying $54k for it! There are too many bigger, better options at that price.
  • cjbrowncjbrown Member Posts: 29
    +1
    $54K for a GLK? OMFG.
    I paid about $20K less for mine and today it's worth about $27K with 20K miles on it. Just plan to keep it awhile. LOL. In two years figure it will be worth about $30K.
    It's a nice little car, but not much different than a RAV4. For that much I would have gone ML350 BlueTec.
    I'm seriously considering trading mine off for a Silverado pickup.
  • bwaabwaa Member Posts: 13
    You should have just gotten a used GL at that price!
  • jaycee74jaycee74 Member Posts: 5
    Yup, New 2013 GLK350W4 fully loaded just the way my wife wanted it. Adding the options adds up. Bigger and better options cost a lot more. She like the look over the GL. To each their own.
  • jaycee74jaycee74 Member Posts: 5
    edited February 2013
    Not looking to buy used. New 2013, with similar options the M class (same engine size and it has similar int. dims) would have been an extra 6.5K and the GL (bluetek) an extra 17K, that's including the 9.5% off MSRP.

    I appreciate everyone's suggestions/bashing but if I wanted to buy something bigger, I would have gone with it. But, this purchase is for my wife and this is what she likes over the others and feels comfortable at the wheel. A happy wife, is a happy life!

    I posted this so others can see what type of pricing is going around the bay area.

    edited February 2013
    You have a 2013 version? Compare options to options and then tell me if its $20K less. A Benz is no Rav4, lol. An M class with similar options would have cost me 6.5K more, that includes the discount msrp prices. Plus, my wife liked the GLK over the M class. After all, it's hers!
  • vinnynyvinnyny Member Posts: 764
    I figured it was a typo but I guess MB will load them up any way you want them. You might want to wait for the fire sale on Silverados this summer. When the new one arrives, they'll be giving away the 2013s.
  • vinnynyvinnyny Member Posts: 764
    Sorry, I wasn't trying to offend you. I just hadn't seen a GLK cost that much. When I bought my 2012, I cross-shopped BMW, Acura, Audi and Cadillac. I also looked at the ML but liked the smaller size and better performance of the GLK. I got about 12.5% off on a $45k MSRP. Are you sure they won't go lower?
  • leadfootowleadfootow Member Posts: 7
    I am getting ready to purchase the GLK hopefully in March. Can you give me some tips how you get such a good price? Someone told me to avoid the salesman due to automatic marked up
  • bwaabwaa Member Posts: 13
    agreed, I was confused at seeing the price of a GLK at 50,000!
  • cjbrowncjbrown Member Posts: 29
    You must have been confused by my post. No, mine doesn't have the same options, and it's a '11 not a '13. I'm just saying $50K-plus for a GLK is a LOT, regardless of how it's optioned out. If it makes the buyer happy then it's all good.

    And yes, the GLK is more similar to a Rav4 than different. People get all hung up on what options they THINK they have to have. In the end it's still a little SUV car that will be worth half in a few years.

    The GLK doesn't have an overly high rating by any professional reviewer. It's a nice little car but it's no panacea in 4-wheel motoring. Again, if it makes you happy then it's all good.
  • leadfootowleadfootow Member Posts: 7
    Finally got my GLK today..Polar White, Mocha/Almond. Pano Roof, Heated Seat, Keyless-Go 15.5% off MSRP...based on what I saw here, I think I got pretty good price. I drove over 45 miles to get it...tried to deal with local dealers, but since they will not disclose price over internet..I had no choice but to deal with someone who would even if I had to drive far. The whole process was a little less than 2 hours...not bad.

    You can't circumvent the salesperson. If you approach upper management they will assign a salesperson at some point.
  • leadfootowleadfootow Member Posts: 7
    The MSRP was $43045 and I got it for $36800 at Laguna Niguel. Too bad it's quite a distance, other wise i would be getting free car wash
  • rupirupi Member Posts: 5
    Great deal!! Was it through the internet dept.? Any other clues :) ?
  • leadfootowleadfootow Member Posts: 7
    Yes it was. The operator didn't do a good job or send me email confirmation of the sale person after 3 requests, and I couldn't under her on the phone. When I arrived, they assigned another internet manager to do my purchase. He started out only taking about $1500 off the MSRP then I told him I already had a written quote...within 5-10 mins, he came back with the price I want to pay...no more negotiation.
  • igrin52igrin52 Member Posts: 2
    leadfootow - I want to buy a 2013 GLK 350 with MSRP of $43045. Did your 15.5% discount include any incentives or trade ins? I am in Houston and am looking for the right price. I am not doing a trade in. Thanks
  • leadfootowleadfootow Member Posts: 7
    Hi Igrin52-No, there was no discount or trade in. I sold my 2004 Jeep to CarMax and that was also a great experience, super quick and easy as well.
  • yplumaayplumaa Member Posts: 1
    Hi igrin52, I am also in Houston looking for GLK350. Could you please share your price with me? Thanks.
  • igrin52igrin52 Member Posts: 2
    I'm still shopping. However, I saw on a previous post from the "car man" which stated $3000 off retail is a good deal and $3500 is the maximum discount. Based on what I am seeing, I think this is correct. If I were you, I would jump on a deal with these numbers.

    All bets are off if you have a trade in. Then the games start.

    Try shopping the last 2 days of the month. The dealers get more flexible when trying to make their monthly quota.
  • vinnynyvinnyny Member Posts: 764
    $3500 discount is nowhere near the max. Go back a few dozen posts and you'll see people paying $6-7K off sticker. I got about $6K off and about $1K more in extra trade value. Then I got the first two payments made by MBFS free. Don't fall for a $3K discount on a $40K car!
