GL 450
Medman, given the crappy lease figures, that's a pretty good monthly. I pointed out in another thread that the 550 is a poor residual and money factor only to have someone accuse me of conspiracy theory! 
53% and an effective interest rate of 5.4% (.00225 x 2400) is about double the money factor they have out on the 450 and a full 7% lower residual.

It is ok, not great. Im tempted to put the 10 MSD to further reduce the payment.
I could pay cash, put Im sure in 3-5 yrs when I go to trade the vehicle in the numbers will make the current crappy lease look like a great deal!

Hah, yeah! I think in three or four years we're all going to miss QE 1-3.

Just to update everyone on the car.
It arrived today at the dealer and I followed thru and took delivery of the vehicle.
A special shout out to Fab! He encouraged me to follow thru and seal the deal.
My wife was both shocked and happy about her new car.
I plan on adding a BEL STir Plus radar detector, weathertech all season mats, and tint the front windshield, panoramic roof, and 2 front windows.
Maybe the DVD Inmotion(need to read up more about it)
Will post some pics soon.
Will have my detailer put on opticoat or some similar product in the near future.
Thanks to the board for all the great info.
