I'm looking into the GL lease as well.... how loaded was the one you were looking at for $750/month? 36 months?
Looks killer...I'd take a new E55 over a new E63 anyday!!
Look into a better deal on the GL. They may be nice, but paying almost $850/month is a but steep. The one I looked into was also loaded (to the gills, actually) and with $2500 out of pocket I had them at $750 AND still walked away.

Sticker was $73,995. It was for 39 months. I was getting very close to $7500 off and a .00205 Base Money Factor Rate. Calculate it out and it comes to $750 MAX.

Called three dealers today to inquire about three different GL's, all with similar options/MSRP's. All lease cost quotes were within about $30/month. MSRP of all three was in the $66-67k range.
I don't know what the money factor currently is on the GL's. Today, I got Princeton down to $803/mo. on a 39/10k lease with me putting down $3k. They are moving $3k off MSRP.

Not to be a stick in your mud, but you aren't going to get the best price by just calling ans asking.
Why would a salesman spend the time on you if he knows off the bat that he isn't making much. Why not ignore you and move on to someone he can gouge?
I have / had a relationship with my dealer. They knew how much i would pay and that I was back on a yearly basis for some high end car, so they rolled with it. Vadim's prices are also very reasonable , considering the effort you put in.

Considering I just bought an E55 from the same salesman and dealer, I expect he'd realize I was a serious buyer and not just browsing or window shopping.
I've haven't been buying a new car annually for years from them, so therein may lie the difference.

20+ to list......
Very unique color and congrats on a fine looking beast. I believe this is the first time I've ever seen an E55 in that color.

2005 E55 Delivered 01/07/05
Snorman,
First, congradulations on that beautiful red E55 you picked up. Second if you want the best and I mean the best 3M clear bra installer PM me. He is not from N,J but can come up and do your car with enough lead time. He did 3 of my cars including my E55. He is the best I have ever seen.
Do you still have the Turbo Buick and the Trubo T/A? I use to own a 1987 Buick GN. Bought it brand new back in '87 from Tarzy Buick in East Bruswick.

I still have all the cars.
The Buick is in storage. The TTA is for sale, and my GT is being sold to a very good friend in North Carolina. I'd like to keep the GT "in the family", as the car has sentimental value. I just don't have time to enjoy the car.
