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.

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.

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.

Very cool. That Turbo T/A is a collectors item for sure. I have a friend that owns GNX #65 also a collectors item.
