i got a 2008 E350 for $650 a month, $1000 out the door. i can't imagine that the E550 is more than double? hit up Keyes European in Van Nuys, look for Sharif. if they know you are ready to buy the same day, they will deal.

Damn, that's bad. A year ago, a friend said she could get me an 07 CL550 for a little less than $2k a month. $1.6 is a hell of a lot for an E550.
Also, these are soooo rare. I see more E63's than 550's. I guess the tastes have changed, especially cause of the 350 engine instead of the 320 and because the 550 gets less gas mileage than a 500 and the price of gas has gone up more.

another thing to look at is try and buy something that is on the dealers lot. if it is there and it is sitting, they will deal.
that is how i got my deal. i found exactly what i wanted on the dealers lot and i sat down for 4 hours negotiating. they started out as $850 a month, $4000 out the door. I kept beating it down and down and down. i got away with 1000 out the door and $650 net a month. but that was in July when the sh#t had not hit the fan yet, well not all of it anyway

Lease prices depnd a bit on credit scores. Have you had a look to see if your score is OK and there are no errors on your credit report. Your dealers numbers sound way out of line.

39 months, 10,000 miles a year, P1, navi, Sport, $22,000 residual. $650 a month net, $1000 out the door. this was the 2nd mercedes i got from them, so that might have been a factor. never late on any monthly payment. credit score is 720, nothing spectacular.
it was a 54,000 sticker but they were giving it at 47,000 as the starting point of the lease. i guess if the car is on the dealer's lot and they know you are going to walk out of there with a new car, they will find a way to get you the car. it took me over 4 hours to get the deal i wanted.
a week later MBZFinancial called me asking for a co-signer because they couldn't understand how i got such a good rate, i told them that the papers were already signed and i had taken delivery of the vehicle. sorry for them
