Price of used GL off lease - list them here!

Hi there. In short, I'm interested in buying a GL that is coming off lease.

I thought I'd start a thread to facilitate this for others too. We can help each other out!

I'm sure many will just hand their GL back in to the dealer, but if people can post the residual price and options - maybe they could help another forum member find their ideal GL (ie buy it from them rather than let the dealer have it back and re-sell it). Also a little peace of mind as people on this forum seem to be decent folk!

We love our 2013 GL450 but it isn't quite optioned the way I would want to own it long term or we would just keep it. Ours comes off lease in November 2015 and I will post it's details below.

I'm thinking GL550 this time around, but the GL450 has also been just great for our family.

Post away!

Apologize for being off topic, but there are 2 issues to do so.

Leased cars usually have inflated residual, so it's a bad purchase. You can't negotiate the price with MBFS. Usually you can get the same car cheaper elsewhere.
On top of it - if you want to buy out someone's lease you should realize that you will pay double sales tax. First time - when original owner pays the price to MBFS, second time when you buy it from original owner.
