    Been a while since I bought a MB, but my girlfriend needs a 3rd row and we have been looking at the 2016 GL450. Just curious if anyone knows what discounts we can expect on one of these.

    Drive the GL350 first. Back in 2010 my wife was also looking for a 7 seat SUV and drove the GL350, 450 and 550 and went with a 2011 GL350 and 93,000 miles later, still drive like new. And there is nothing like the torque of the diesel engine with mileage almost twice the GL450...we get 26+ mpg on the highway.

    Great timing.

    Are there any dealers that could PM me on here?

    Im looking for a new black on brownish/cream colored GL450.

    Only option wanted but not needed is panoramic sunroof.

    Can pay right away.

    Thank you,
    Ryan

    Last night we went to the MB dealer I have bought all of my previous cars from, nice that they remembered me after almost 10 years. She drove all 3 GL's and since this was going be her car I did not drive at all and let her decide. I do agree the diesel would have been the smartest choice, but the 550 with the big AMG wheels and ground effects and better interior won her over. I liked the fact that they sell very few 550's and I was able to buy a pretty well equipped one for what the 450 stickered for. So Saturday she will pick up her new white (the only color she liked) GL550. I still find it amazing that a 81K sticker GL450 did not even have the leather interior option, they only had one 450 (and they must of had 50 of them) with leather.

    Morrie,

    Assuming she needs the car to haul kids and gear, MB Tex is the way to go. It is VERY DURABLE and could easily pass for leather. I have been very happy with all of the MBs I have owned.

    Yes, her daughter is on a competitive cheerleading team so moms trade off on driving. The 550 does have leather in it so I will need to make sure it is properly taken care of. I learned a long tome ago when it comes to women and cars( and most other things) usually it best to not think they will see things as I do. We are picking the car up at noon today.
