Good afternoon hackr’s hope you and your families are well and safe.
2019 MB GLS ( fairly loaded )
BLACK / Beige
$83k MSRP
Discounted to $61k
5k Miles
$685 per month ( including 8% tax )
12k Miles per year
$1400 total out of pocket drive off ( including 1st month dealer fees, dmv x-fer plates etc )
Scheduled A - B - C Maintenance NOT included ( $738 per month included maint. )
Please input these numbers into a LH Calc link and attach in the post. What you have leaves out a lot of info like residual value, etc. Hard to evaluate without all the numbers.
You are also paying $53 more a month for a maintenance plan and over the course of 3 years, close to 2k. If you look at what actually is done for the plan, you are essentially just getting oil changes and fluids/filters.
Take this to an independent Mercedes mechanic and he can do these service intervals for much cheaper.
His deal is tagged with NY, so MSDs are not an option. The discount is good for a demo but given its the old model, I would push for the same monthly with maintenance included.
You’re in the old interior but if you don’t mind missing out on the redesign of the ‘20 (which is pretty insane) then solid discount. That’s about all one can say without knowing the MF/RV. Get that info from Edmunds if you want this deal broken down properly.
As for PPM, the GLS goes for around $1,600. Residualized it should run you ~$22/month so there’s some mark up on that add on.
It is a lot of car for the payment. It’s a MB backed program to get rid of A LOT of exec demo and loaner 2019 GLS’ … especially since the major redesigned 2020’s are fully stocked now on dealer lots.
Don’t assume the dealer is giving you a good deal because they told you that, they seem to be trying to hose you on the maintenance and I’m curious what the MF is. Edmunds shows $3k dealer cash last month so you need to confirm this months number.
