2006 SL65 ///AMG - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: 2005 E55; 2002 ML55; 2001 CLK55; 1992 BMW 850i; 1991 M5
Realistic Range

Just drove (and fell in love with) an '03 SL55. Dealership has a starting price of 95K. I believe they had a "sale" price of 92K last week. (Probably would entertain a legit offer of 88 +/-)

What would be a realistic lease range for this vehicle for 36 months if one did not want to put a whole lot down? Is $1100-$1200 a month wishful thinking?

Just want to know what a realistic range should be if I return to talk numbers. Thanks!

Have you tried running the numbers on LeaseCompare.com?

These will be real quotes based on the purchase price you enter.

You can use these numbers to compare what the dealer is offering. You can also lease a vehicle secured from a private party.

Shop around, you can find these cars wholesale in the 70's now. Heck, you can find them on eBay for low to mid 80's.

Get an 04 if you can. Either way, you can do a COMAND swap I'm pretty sure to get the latest components (looks 100% better)
