Mercedes-Benz GLE Negotiation Guide
Video Summary Page (12/17/2023)
Suggestions Expire at End of Month!
Inventory vs. Competition
Right now, Mercedes has a decent supply of GLEs and the majority are 2024s. GLEs are produced in the United States, however they typically take a bit longer to produce than a BMW X5 typically takes.
Inventory by Trim Level
I would focus mainly on the GLE350 or the 53 AMG as they are going to be the main trims to focus. Inventory is typically going to be VERY easy to find for these two trims and extremely difficult on the other trims.
