Get a "new" one or buy out my lease?

Well boys - thanks for all the input - my wife spoke to her boss (owner of the dealership) and he said "your husband wants it - no problem - tell the boys (GM/Sales Mngr) I said to make it happen, get him in that car by the weekend" they are taking my last 2 payments, my over mileage and my lease term fee. Someone is going to be a happy camper this weekend. Happy Birthday---- to me!
After all posts I have nothing to add other than before seeing this last post I would have told to offer them $7000 more instead of the $9000. But it sounds that you got it already by the dealer giving all those "goodies" with the terms.
Between the two cars there is no question which one to get.
You will not regret going to E550 after the E350. Guarantee it!

Cleaned out the car
So I cleaned out my 350 - uninstalled my V-1, changed my HID bulbs back to the 4300k ones and took out the newer 5000K ones I had installed a couple months ago. Leaving the AMG Replica pedals and will likely replace the ones in the new car with real MB ones. I am also going to have the dealership transfer my illuminated door sills since they really shouldn't be part of the lease return. Anyone know how big a deal it is to transfer the Sirius XM service between cars? I will say this - gonna miss the color the E looks really sharp in Palladium - but I'm sure the extra 100+ ponies in the 550 will get me over it quickly enough.

You will forget about the color very very soon. Promise! 550 is a beast and anyone who says the 350 is plenty doesn't know better. It's like the person who didn't have HD tv yet that says standard definition is fine for them... Until they actually get HD and refuse to watch in anything but high def. Enjoy!
