Total sales is not the only factor in offered incentives. Depends more on day supply. Much less models made this year over last, so the day supply is moving along normally. the 450's are much more few and far between than the 550's or 320's right now in TX.

This past January only 950 units of GLs sold, down 47.7% from Jan'08...
The R-Class needs to be replaced. Maybe by bringin in a 320 or even 420 Bluetec station wagon (estate car).

Looks like it's just a matter of time...

Sorry about those Cards - almost pulled it out.

Hey, they did a great job setting records (like the most penalty yards in a Super Bowl game).

It was their first trip to the dance, I'd have been floored if they'd have gone all the way. The only team we've had that has gotten to the championship and not choked is the Diamondbacks.

NYCAVS, if you go on cars.com or autotrader, or to dealers own sites, you'll get a pretty good idea of where things are going. Since we are into Feb of a bad winter, that's probably helped sales along with lower gas prices. The "real" bargains come once factory money gets involved and who knows when that will come. A survey of NY-metro area inventory is your best indicator of what's going to happen in coming months. I had an 08 GL 550 available to me Sept 08 at 15% off MSRP and decided to hold off for 09 improvements. Now I'm waiting to see what happens as I don't really need the vehicle until Sept. As a general rule, later in the model year and summer to fall will yield the best discounts assuming supply is out there.

Yup, it's the crappy residual values that are driving the lease payments up.
