Mercedes will waive their markup if you are persistent. But with that said, there’s been a lot of recalls and maintenance issues with the GLE from what I’ve heard/read. It’s something you should look into. It’s a gorgeous car though. The Q7 is also great. Drives better than the GLE but is less roomy on the inside.

Although the chip shortage situation has improved somewhat, it’s still going to be an ongoing issue for at least another two years in my opinion as manufacturers work to get caught up. Inventory will still be low so there’s no reason to lower prices. The new 2023 GLC that’s coming out actually got a $9k increase in MSRP.
