Fresh Off The Truck

Arrived at dealer 11/11/2007, may have to wait to pick-up however. Lease rate went way up from when I signed order. Can't believe they can't stand by the rate they quoted. My Audi dealer would have! Anybody ever gone throught this problem?

I'm sure they could give you the rate that was given at the time of the order...not 100% certain but I'm sure there are others on the forum that know more

Yea, I can't believe the Audi dealer would give me the option and the MB dealer said upfront that the rates at time of delivery would be my only option. Does not seem right to me. Bet they come up with something once the vehicle sits for a couple weeks.

I'm not sure about the market in your area but around here P3's are very few and when they do have them in stock they're picked up sooner or later that's for sure

$150.00 per month more! Which take it to around $1,000.00 bucks a month for 7,500 miles! To high, don't you agree?

OUCH...$1k for an ML550...that's high IMO even 900 is a bit much especially for 7500 miles/year

For that much you could probably get a GL550...right?

I'm sure you can find a GL550 for 900 a month and 12k miles (I'm not too sure) ...Ask on the GL thread about lease payments, they'll know much more in detail

Thanks we looked at the GL450 and decided it was larger than we need. The ML550 seemed to be the best for our needs.

MB is offering their winter event with special leases on 350's. Maybe that just means the rates go up on everything else ha ha.

Yea, I just talked to my fleet contact yesterday. He said the rates were just under 4% all of a sudden. I emailed my local dealer to see if they are ready to play! I will keep you posted, I really don't need the car until early December. However I don't want to get stuck paying to much.
