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.

| 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... | |

Replying to: jprescott1 (Oct 17, 2006 5:07 pm) 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.

Replying to: rider88 (Oct 18, 2006 9:12 pm) That being said, I do not understand your $3900 out the door costs. 1st month should be $730, bank fee should be $795, even California registration is about $380. I don't know where the extra $2000 is coming in, unless you live in a state that charges up-front sales tax on the full amount of the vehicle. What is your capitalized cost (i.e., what is your discount from MSRP?)?

Replying to: martinf (Oct 19, 2006 9:11 pm) I tried looking for 2006 with rear airbags, but was not successful, hence we are looking at 2007s. The 3900 out the door cost includes all the state sales tax to be paid up-front. MSRP is 66840 (but calculating from MB website, it seems like the MSRP is actually 68K, cap cost is 61061. I think invoice is 60975 (according to Edmunds). What do you think of this for an 2007?
