Hello.
I'm new to GL pricing and don't know what price people getting, so may be somebody may help me.

I was offered GL350 Bluetec , P2, Lighting package:
lease :
0 down, Due at sign in bank fee - about $900, DMV fees and first payment. $1080 per months - 15K miles a year, 39 months
purchase :
the price is $61,500 - becomes $1075 per month for 72 months, 0 down.

Is it good price or I can do better ???

Thanks for help.

I used edmunds.com TMV when figuring my vehicles best selling price. Just find out what invoice is for the vehicle and options then tack whatever you feel a fair commission is.

I followed your advise and now I'm even more confused. Edmunds says invoice is $67,500 and people getting it for $68,800. So, they selling me for 6K under invoice ?? Is there any factory cash back to dealers right now ?
Strange.....Thanks anyway.

Are you looking for lease or purchase ? I was processing the papers work on 09 GL 550 Full loaded and low miles .

I used to lease cars, but when they offered me this truck with the payment to own the same like lease - I'm not sure what to do.

MSRP is $70,xxx ......$9K discount from MSRP - I think it's good..isn't it ?

I think 9K off is amazing, I rarely got 3 haha.
Anyways, are you sure the only options are P2 and Lighting Package? Does the SUV have running boards, Parktronic, or RSE?

I was in the same boat and at the time the MB sponsored loan prpgram was 1.9% for 4 or 5 years. As it turns out the leasing equivalent was 1.7, so rather than have a 4-year old out of warranty gas-guzzler to sell, I decided to lease and just be able to turn it in. Something people should always consider in lease vs. buy is how long do they plan on keeping the vehicle and will it possibly be tough to get rid of. It's my guess that larger SUV's will not do well going forward, oil-burner or not. Just because you can "afford" to own doesn't necessarily mean that's the best decision. When vehicle shopping, never indicate to the salesman if you are leasing or buying initially. Work on price and then let him tell you what programs are out there. Our GL 550 with an MSRP of 85K is being leased for 4 years for basically the same lease deal you are being offered. That being said, 9K off sticker is good-to-great and the numbers should reflect that unless money-factor or residual is poor (lease payments get a bit complicated vs. simple-interest of a car loan).

If it isn't a demo, that is a very good price. What is the APR?

Ae, I'm in the same boat- looking to replace my wifes ESV in a few months. Sounds like good numbers- but the lease should be less if you are getting 9k off. Do you know the residuals/MF?

aeggroup

I don't know those " fancy " numbers )LOL The only thing I know - I called to my broker and he gave me those numbers without any details. Now I'm thinking do I really need GL or I can use my E for now. I can connect you with this guy and you can talk to him. He's good.
BTW - where is the pic of your new S ?
