How Much $$ Is MB Willing To Come Down?

I have an '06 ML350 and the lease isn't up until 11/09 - so I have plenty of time to think about this - but I've read where people are getting $8,000+ discount if they buy their vehicle at the end of their lease. According to my lease contract, I will owe over $34K and was hoping MB will be this generous to me by offering a deep discount to buy it! Anyone know what others have been offered off their ML350 if they decide to buy it?

BTW...I was actually considering buying a Lexus RX330 and paying cash due to the great reliability record but I haven't had one thing go wrong with the ML350 and I really enjoy the vehicle. It's been great with all the options I want and it has a roomier interior than the RX330 - so why get rid of it if the vehicle continues to be this reliable?

Any thoughts appreciated!
Nick

Best practice is to not show interest in buying it. Let them keep contacting you.
