I believe it is OK for irishrogue1 to list the name of his dealership, just not mention the name of the sales person/manager. In any event, I believe he got the vehicle from W.I. Simonson in Santa Monica. I had posted their $16,500 off MSRP a few days ago. Good luck with the R500 irishrogue1! You got one of the best deals out there!!

You can save about $2700 over the 27 months of this lease by going with the single payment option. I just thought I would mention it to you. It's a personal call, but $13,000 in a 6% CD would only yield me about $1400 to $1500 over the 27 month period (by the way, World Savings Bank has about the most aggressive CD returns in the market. Unfortunately, bankrate.com hardly ever lists them because they mostly offer odd terms like 7 months, 13 months, or 15 months). Even if you have signed the paperwork and are driving the vehicle, I don't think it is difficult to switch over. Again, congrats - GREAT DEAL!!

yes, simonson in santa barbara. internet manager (linked on their website) is a stand up guy. not even 2 secs of BS during the process.
 
all of my cash is tied up in my second business otherwise i agree that the one pay makes this even more attractive. although what happens if you total the car during the lease term? i always heard that you lose....doesnt sound right..but....

I see so many great info on '06, but I am looking at an '07.
 
Need some comments/help on this quote:
 
'07 R500 MSRP $66340, out-the-door cost around $3900 (1st month, all taxes, bank fee, registration, etc..), $0 cap-cost reduction, Term 27 months, 15K miles. Monthly around $730.
 
Any thoughts on these numbers, and any suggestions on what I should be targeting?
 
Any feedback would be much appreciated!

I have been an active mbworld.org member for a few years. Their R forum is dead. I pulled the trigger on an 06' R500 $62k MSRP. Without going through the numbers I'll just say that I was looking at an XC90/RX350 both at $620 tax in with aboout $1500 drive off. I never even thought of an R until I hit this forum. Our neighbor owns the local dealer and we gave him a shot. R500, black/black, 2006,sunroof,heat seats,HK surround, Sirius,18" wheels, DVD navigation. Bottom line: $1700 drive off includes 1st payment and $795 bank fees... 27 month/12000 mile..$599.97 per month tax in!!! I mean come on guys, this is cheaper than the XC90 we have now. I could not say no. By the way, we really wanted the new MDX but they want $788 a month#%#$. I had an E500 before and I loved it(minus the multi bugs and bad electronic breaks) so I'm happy for my wife. It's hers but I look forward to our ski trips.

Some deals... by amcdad

These deals on the R-class are pretty darn good...It would fit our needs, but we won't be in the market for a replacement for our Cadillac SRX until next spring. Does anyone know how the R-Class is selling? I know its hard to predict, but I am hoping the lease incentives continue for a while...

i agree that the R board on mbworld never even got off the ground. this one was hot for a while, then it slowed down and i m glad to see it picked up again just in time for some of us to benefit for $10k factory cash.
 
not sure what your tax is per month, but it looks like your neighbor didnt give you best deal that he could have....maybe took $50-75 per month more than he "should" have.
 
people are going to line up for the new MDX....

R-class is actually moving here in Cleveland. I tried to improve the deal a bit but wanted to balance it with saving face with my son's best friend's dad ( he through in navagation). I still feel like I was saved from another XC90(not a great car) at a better price. $620/month for a $45k car v.s $600/month for a $62k car.

i agree that the R class beats the volvo in every way. the R drives like an S class. the xc drives like a refined SUV. roughly same weight for the xc V8. R is 14" longer, 5-6" lower with the same headroom and 1" wider.
