Hi,
2012 E550 owner jumping on 2016 4MATIC GLE. Yes, winter did it for me.
My dealer is proposing $851 per month for a 3 year lease @ 15K miles/Yr.
MSRP 58,745 (including delivery) Premium 1 and heated steering.
Lease price 56,000
Residual 31,722
$1000 due

First time leasing. Any thoughts?
Any room for negotiation or should I jump on it?

Thanks.

If you are moving to lease - please understand that Prepaid Service can be "added on" quite affordably if the Finance Guy does the right job - let's say it $1000 retail Prepaid Maintenance - since you are a lease assume your residual is about 56% - your "cost" for PrePaid Maintenance will be 56% of Retail = $560. I'd get a 4-pack for 10/20/30/40 - at 44% discount for "real" cost catch the savings...

Thank you for the tip. What do you think about the offer?

The lease price is too high to begin with. My new GLE 300d listed for $65080 and I paid $59200. I would rework your selling price by a few thousand to get a lower lease payment. My price included all weather mats, cargo mat, and 2 years of prepaid maintenance.

Hi, I don't know if leasing vs buying is different since I've never leased.
But I just took delivery of a 2016 GLE400 that I ordered. Sticker price was 70,155. Dealer took 4,800 off sticker price, included 3 years of prepaid maintenance, and heavy duty floor mats. I felt like I got a fair deal.

You guys need to negotiate harder. I picked up my gle400 for 59k and the sticker price is 70,5xx last November. My car had only 10 miles on it and we bought the car. I didn't get prepaid maintenance and only received an all weather trunk mat as my SA said there's no profit in the car and I guess I should be believe him.

Please tell us where you got this.

(At that price, I need to cancel my order, lose my down payment, and start over at your dealership. Heck, we all should buy there)
