Gl450
Hello:
As some of you may know from my post in the GL forum, I just bought an 07 GL450. The vehicle is set to arrive in about two weeks, which gives me time to think about how to pay for it. The MSRP is $73,815, and I don't think the dealer will negotiate much below that price, as it is a new model and the first of only three Premier (launch) Editions the dealer is getting. In any case, I plan to lease it for 39 months with 12,000 mi/mo, but I don't trust the lease calculator on the MBUSA site for a quote. What could I expect to pay monthly for this vehicle, and what could I do to avoid getting taken for a ride due to inexperience? This will be the third vehicle I get from this dealer and I have a fourth on order. I leased my S430, but I admit, I didn't really know much about leasing. I don't feel cheated in any way, but still have my concerns, as with lack of knowledge, not all the proverbial cards would be on the table. Advice would be appreciated.

Since this is a new model we do not have a lot of data on it as of yet. I will be posting the new Mercedes rates mid next week. We can then compare these to what your dealer is offering.
