I need advice to all smart board members (specially the E owners). Heres my delima, Wife wants a SUV so im thinking of getting her the new ML 350 and lease it for 39 months. My question, is there any deals with the 06 ML 350's that i dont know about? If any of you have any info (terms and deals) please post them. Thank you...

 

I can't answer the immediate question,but my wife has been driving an ML350 that we got new about 3 years ago.She has no desire to look at anything different.We are trading her '03 in for an '06 this summer.

 

My wife also wants a new SUV. I think we are either getting the GL450 or an Escalade. We will see in the next few weeks.

MBUSA has the ML350 on sale for about $500/month on a 27 month lease, so may be even better payments if you want 39 months.

 

cool deal....

 

I will be looking at the GL as well.... any ideas as to when they will be arriving at dealers?

 

mabye they are already in, here is a lease deal already?

doesn't seem that great of a deal.....

 

The GL450 IS out at dealerships...I visted the service center at my dealership and they had a black on black GL450 with appearance pkg, rear seat entertainment pkg (tv behind front headrests)....Before seeing it in person I was all for the new Escalade...but now I think the GL is THE best 7 seater SUV under 100k....The interior was much nicer than the LX470 and it looked really slick with 20 inch MB wheels. And the one important aspect in my opinion was the fact that it had so much room inside and the fact that it is a large SUV...and yet it didnt give off an obnoxious look like some other HUGE SUV's in the market...sorry no pics though didnt have a camera with me

 

They are already being delivered. I took one for a test drive on Saturday. VERY nice truck. Third row seat, nice ride, peppy with a 7 speed transmission. I like it alot.

My wife is in need of a new truck big enough for two kids and all their "stuff". She is looking at the Infiniti QX, Yukon Denali, and Escalade. I would much rather see her in the GL - it is slightly smaller and easier to maneuver.

 

dealer by me has about 8 of them....

the one I looked at had a few options that I think the car should come with... kind of lame to charge another $1,500 for leather, $1,500 sunroof, $540 for wood steering wheel, $500 for hitch, $900 for xenon, $150 for ambient lighting....

If I price it out to a comparible GX470, it comes out to about $70k, about 15k more.....

 

got the 06 ML today (wife / kid hauler)... I have to admit the new ML is way better than the old one. I will have to use that car when it snows here in chitown.
