The current program for the 2009 lease thru MB is:
 
33 mos lease Term
57% residual for 10k miles per year
Down Pymnt $4000
money factor .00110 for FICO 720 and higher
MSRP $51,915
Discount $1208
Lease Cash $2000
Payment $579 per mos plus tax
 
If you can find a dealership to get you the max discount of $4,000 off MSRP plus get the $2000 lease you can get a pymnt of around $510 plus tax.

For the first time I went to check out the new ML. I have to say I prefer the Cayenne and bmws better..

2008 ML 350 purchase price. by dkla76

ok i havent signed the contract for 10,000 off MSRP on ML 350 yet. someone(dealer) told me that MB dealer has holdback and reserve moneys totaling about 6500 in addition to the 4000 manuf to dealer incentive and in addition to the difference between MSRP and invoice(~3100). So that means dealers profit margin is about 13600. wow.
 
how far would u go to negotiate. i was considering asking for 13000 off msrp now.
economy is real slow and no one wants a SUV now due to high gas prices. plus its a clearance yr model.(they need clean lot for 09s)
everytime i go to dealerships, there are hardly anyone there even shopping.
 
do you think the dealers would consider letting ML go for 600 profit?

You'll never know unless you ask. If you make it a walk-away point, you most likely will either get the deal or something closer than what you have now. You could always still shop around at other dealers, if there are any close enough. You really have nothing to lose, worse comes to worst you get the deal you have now.

2008 ML320 CDI by verbow

I just picked up a 2008 ML 320 CDI for about $10,000 under MSRP; it wasn't tough to do as MBUSA was offering a $5000 incentive in August (not sure if it was extended to September). 2009s are right around the corner, but having endured run-flat tires on my SC 430 with their noise and bumpy ride (and from what I understand poor tread life) I was thrilled to pick up an '08 (especially with the great discount).

Hi Donaldsam,
 
I saw that you dealt with a fleet manager at your dealership.So i am in process of buying a 09' c class sport in houston,TX.So was wondering if you could give me any tips in dealing with fleet manager as i already contacted him and he called me back but luckily i couldn't take his call so now with your help i could maybe get good price.
 
i have 2 questions
1. would fleet manager deal with me ie a single car buyer or would he ask me to contact sales only.If he would deal with me then why would he as they generally give us cheaper prices right?
2.And can i negotitate at invoice price or just nod to whatever he says as it would generally be a good price.
 
Thanks

Hey,
I am also considering the '08 ML purchase or Lease howevr have been told how good the X5 with the smaller V6, 4 liter engine is.... why did you like it? and didn't you feel the Cayenne was BAD on fe?
Nice car - though, I agree!
Please give me your opinion? I don't know which car to buy and am not sure the BMW dealers around me (CT) will deal much (not like Mercedes is right now, that's for sure!)
thanks,
k

Uday,
can you give me your deal info when you get it -- I am dealing with same thing - corporate - fleet discount-family connection, so on...
~ don't know how they work these deals either but have got some pretty good prices -- only thng is I was pricing out the 08 R350's and they can't give those cars away.... so haven't yet asked about ML's. Do you really plan to buy one of them and did you find in your research they compare favorably to the BMW's (X5, smaller engine, etc.)?
any thoughts would be appreciated ---
