Employee Pricing from New Dealer??

My family's had a regular dealer for years but they are an hour away-they are awesome BTW...and I have my new GL on order for delivery from them next month...

However, in today's mail i received an "invitation" from the local brand new superdealer to come in for "employee pricing" for the next three days. As an example of leases, with $4k down, 27 mos., 10k miles/yr.:
R350: $399
ML350: $499
GL350: $599

Is it worth pursuing this? I know all the vehicles are probably stripped...

GL450? The MB website has a lease for $679 and that is stripped. I would doubt the megadealer has any of the "$599" GL's in stock...

Don't give up now waiting for that CDI. Only a few more weeks. So close. If true and available it is a great deal even though it propbably is a base model.

Are you saying there is a special financing deal coming on the GL320 CDI? I missed that...

No. He has a CDI on order and has for a long time.

Although, in my other thread there are some lease rates for the CDI until 1/2/07 which aren't that bad.

My wife is holding me back...she's right...i ordered my car eons ago and what in the world is one more month...despite the fact that i lose the tax help for this year. My GL320CDI will have everything on it but Distronic and HEating Package (as I am opting for the wood wheel instead, which btw, is another BS thing for MBUSA to make necessary-I'd LIKE to have wood wheel AND heated rear seats)...
