thats not bad, but I just leased one with the residual at 53%, but thats probably due to different options and packages, or because i am in Canada and you are in the US? BUt generally speaking, i priced a X5 and Audi Q7 and all three with the same sort of equipment and packages, and both the bimmer and Volkswagen..i mean Audi were around $200.00/mnth more and they're list prices were the same, so Mercedes came out the winner for my wife and baby boy as the people mover.

Seems high. I am paying $601.73 a month on a 27month 20K per year lease.

My total OOP was about $1400 and the truck listed for $54xxx.

I think they could do better -- that residual is killing you.' Also your MF rate seems too low -- what you posted works out to 0.192%. It is most likely 0.00080 which translates to 1.92%. (multiply your MF by 2400 to get a traditional percentage rate).

If it helps, I just bought an ML in NJ whose MSRP including destination was 54295, my price was 46500. It included some sort of corporate discount that the dealer gives to people who are employees of certain companies.
