Savings with MBFS .... just saved $2,500

I picked up my 2014 GL350 yesterday ... not much room to neg price, but was able to save $2,500 on my lease with good credit (~800) ... dealer has to request a preferred rate (called an "A1" or "a9"), MBFS has to approve (took 5 min on a Sat) and saved the $$$

We had a 2011 GL 450 ... Love the new model and the diesel.

Standard this month on the GL is .00175, not .00225. Residuals are 61%.

Does that include the 350? I thought that rate only applied to the non-350's

GL450, R8 V10+, M6

Are you guys getting the 0.00175/61% on a 2014 GL450? RidewithG lists that for the 2013 models. I was in the dealer yesterday optioning a 2014 GL450 and they quoted me the standard money factor and 61% residual for 15k/36mo. My credit would qualify as top tier.

At those numbers, I am probably going the finance route given especially attractive credit union rates in my area.

There are a few 2013s left in the region but my dealer had none.
