Jack, we're going to miss your valued comments and brilliant photography on the "S" forums, but you know we all wish you well with the new GL. You made the right choice for the hot vehicle of the month, as my MB dealer told me that the GL 320 CDI is almost impossible to get. Enjoy !

"What's up with Denver? Do you have a relationship with a dealership there?"


Yes...a super one. $500 over invoice is worth the 800 mile drive...:-) On such a scarce model that is an excellent deal.

Thanks. I ordered it in December and still 2 weeks to go waiting for it to get to Denver for delivery. Apparently there are only a limited number of diesel engines available for the US market with priority going to EU customers.

Jack - Don't discount how "excellent" you are for Greg and his crew at Mercedes Benz of Wesminster ! You deserve every penny of the discount !

NevadaJack

Thanks and you are correct. Greg was right up front with the $500 over, even with a new Owner/Sales Manager. When I layed out the specs and asked Greg for a figure there was no haggle and he made the offer flat out. Told me they appreciated what I had done for them and all the referrals. They were also very fair on the trade and locked me in to a figure (no re-appraisal at delivery) with over 60 days to go on delivery of the new one.

A great place to do business. The thing I like about them is the no "snob" staff and the fact they just want to sell cars and treat the customer fairly. Greg is really a pleasure to talk with and will do everything he can to keep you up to date.

I know how it feels 'cause i can say the same about my dealer over here.

Glad that everything works fine for you, Mr. Jack.

I'm so excited and happy for you, Jack! Congratulations, you deserve it too!

Can't wait to see the phenomenal photos you're going to post of this baby. She sounds awesome. And the GL320 CDI, which I have testdriven, is a pretty sweet car. There is just something about driving a big and solid SUV, I think it's called FUN!

Don't worry about the engine and power, it's quiet, refined and has endless torque reserves. The GL320 CDI should stack up quite well.

I made the thread a sticky so you'll have no problems finding it and giving us the latest updates.

Thanks wimmer..looking forward to the change of wheels. Will post some images as soon as I can get delivery...:-)

Congrats! You are going to love this SUV. The diesel engine is a thing of beauty and it really grows on me.

Congrats Jack.
If I had the money, I would have bought that beautiful S550 of yours right away...
