I'm trying to decide between a 550 and a 63....but it's gonna depend on payments. I'm only gonna put down about $10,000-$15,000.

Those of you with the 550, how much did you put down and what's your payment looking like? Thanks.

some ebay auctions claim mid 800-900 a month for 7-12,000 mile a year.

I was able to get on a CLS550 with P2 and AMG package $0 down, $1146/month on a 27 month lease.

I would try and find the best deal from a dealership in a larger area like orange county or the la area then look into having a finance company like ELoan to buy it out, they usually have almost half the rates of a dealer's finance company

Just an idea, it all depends on your credit though

If leasing, an outside bank's residuals are lower then MB financial and there I there will be no incentive trunk money in most cases.....anyway I want to know who has gotten the most off MSRP...Ive heard 10k so far on a 550.....most dealers will discount 8500.

E.CLS

I got mine at invoice price.

CLS550 with P2 package with Euro delivery- $1018/month $0 down lease, 39 months.

Why are so many people leasing this car? When I did the cost comparison buy vs. lease leasing was not even an option, cost just the same if not more to lease as opposed to buy.

I am looking to spend no more than $65k-68K. Looking at some to buy within 2-4 weeks timeframe. I just wanted to ask that question...

Htowncls

I think most people that lease do it for a reason.. they want the latest model at the end of the lease without having to deal with trade-ins...

It's an individual preference.. I bought mine because i plan on keeping it for some time..

another option for people could be a smart buy... similiar to leasing but you have an option to buy at the end of 24,36,39 or 48 months.. You just pay the balloon payment or refinance the remaining value through whomever offers you the lowest interest rate or you just give it back and get a new one or a totally different vehicle from wherever you want..

Good Luck !!!

I'd buy it if I were you (if you're planning on keeping it more than 3 years so you don't end up upside down when you go to trade it in, if that's the case).

H - you got a new Escalade? What's the color. And why the F haven't you posted any pics of the CLS. I posted on the other site to see if anyone was planning an event in Dallas soon. No response, we should just do it (either start in H and go to D or vice-versa).

I got 15K off my 06 cls55 with the 030 performance package. That's the most I heard, so I took the deal and the rest is history.

Doc,

I have been waiting on my rims to come in before i post... It's been three weeks.. They have to custom build them and i can't wait... Yep the wife said the Lexus Gs was too small.. She got accustomed to the QX56 but gas was kickin butt.. so she said she wanted the car but couldnt get used to it.. The escalade is maxed out with the factory 22's black on tan.. very sweet.. Now I can go stealth in the CLS or come big body syle in the escalade... Keep me posted on any Texas events!

DoctorC4

Wow, I don't think I could wait three weeks. I'd be going stir crazy if I were you. Post some pics of the Escalade when you get a chance. I've been looking at the new 07s for the girl and almost got one for me when I first started the car search. How do you like it, interior dvd and everything. The new crazy chrome looks great, i'm sure it's poppin with the 22s and the black.

I think i'm looking at the NavTV with dvd for the Comand. It'll be like 2 large, but I think worth it just to drop some jaws.

Htowncls

I can actually say the inside of the Escalade is sweet.. Tan with dark wood and chocolate accents on the wheel and dash.. It is very nice.. We got everything in it, the only thing that i could say negative is the screen that comes with the vehicle is small.. other than that it's sweet.. I'll try to take some photos tomorrow...

The Nav tv would be sweet... Go for it !!!

I am going crazy, the said 2.5 to 3 weeks and it's going on 3.5 weeks.. I'm calling tomorrow to see if they have any info on their completion time.

Htowncls

This is for Doc.. not trying to hijack the thread.. Photos are via my Treo so they are not the best quality... I'll get some better photos once the 20's come in !!!

DoctorC4

Gotta love the black with beige. They look sick holdin hands in the driveway. I'm almost as excited as you for those 20s.

Htowncls

YESSIR !!!
