Hello Car Man, My husband and I are trying to lease a CLS500, MSRP was $69,000 and we negotiated it down to $62000...Our credit is 718 and they wanted $2584 down, $872 per month for 39 months 12000 miles per year. Is this a good deal or should we continue to shop around? |

Looks like this board does not generate too much traffic. I am looking to buy a CLS 550 in the next month or 2, I am just wondering how everyone's doing on their price negotiations? The salesperson I talked to told me he could get very competitive pricing on 06 CLS 500s, close to the invoice.... which sounds really tempting to me, but the new CLS 550 has 80 more horsepower, which is going to be very hard for me to ignore. The differencce between the 06 CLS 500 and 07 CLS 550 is probably going to be around $5,000 for the same level of equipments, perhaps more, does anyone have any opinions?

To get the best price, as you probably already know, go to 3-4 dealers and offer them a mini-deal - $1000 over invoice is fair. You'll need to put on a show and walk out a few times, wait for the salesman to follow-up and then get your mini-deal. With the 550 being so new, you'll probably need to let them make a little profit.

Replying to: johnnygxp (Jul 27, 2006 6:13 pm) Thanks very much for your reply, I agree shopping around is the best. I live in Aliso Viejo, right next to 2 of the largest Mercedes dealers in the world, so I'll definitely take advantage of my situation. A co-worker of mine just bought a SL550 (we went at the same time actually, he was suppose to wait for me to buy at the same time to get a better deal, but he couldn't wait). After driving the SL550, he just couldn't go back to the SL500 even though you can get almost $15,000 off. He did manage to get $5,000 off on the SL550. I think I'll be happier with the 07 CLS 550, for more hp and perhaps better equipment. I will update when I do pull the trigger. |

Hello Car Man, Can you please tell me what the latest Mercedes lease factor and residual (in %) is for the CLS550? |

 I have been goin crazy every dealer tells me something different so I REALLY need some sound advice here. I am looking to lease a 2006 or 2007 Mercedes CLS Okay, heres the problem. 1 dealer tells me to make payments less is better to lease 06 for 27 months AND another tells me no, no no better ro get the 07 for 39? I am real confused, I am was assuming get a leftover much lower price can pickup vehicle for $72,000 with original MSRP of $78,400(oh yes and MB is offering $2000 cash incentives to dealer on the 06 CLS). While the 07 with same options is $80,000 and I havent done much negiotated at this point with 07 as I figured smaller monthly payments on a 06 i.e. lower price? am I wrong? Need some help fast 2006 models are clearing quickly with the options I want. I have found an 2006 with all the options I want MSRP of $78,400- discounting to $72,000 I want a zero 0 down 39 month lease with just reg fees bank etc and no tax included with the payment a 10,000 mile a yr lease, 39 mos any figures to help with this deal- 1 dealer told me $1230 a month with like $5,000 total out of pocket!, I think he believes I am a total idiot! anyway... what should the numbers REALLY be? Since this is a 2006 and not many left I want to move quickly on this car, but dont wanna get ripped off either, thinking of calling the sales mgr directly and offering him a deal! car had been on the lot for a very long time any help, Thanks! P.S. have good credit.

| I don't know how to start a new post. I didn't see a topic with Mercedes CLS500. I am contemplating purchasing a 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. The dealer says he's giving me a good deal, but the 2006 costs just as much as the 2007. Granted the 2006 only has 41 miles and has more features like navigation and electric trunk closer, but the 2007 has more horsepower and is newer model. I'm just wondering what would be a good offer to make. The original price of the 2006 was $76,000 and they will sell it for $67,000. The new 2007 is $67,000. I am young and I look even younger (22), and I am a female and I don't want to be taken advantage of. When I initially entered the dealership everyone was hesitant to wait on me. Finally one person came over but it was easy to see that he didn't have my best interest at hand. Onlyafter checking my credit did he welcome me with open arms and take me seriously. He initially tried to sell me the car at face value. I left and he's called me every day almost for 2 1/2 weeks. On the 3rd day he called and informed me of the new price. I later found out that the lower price was what the car was supposed to have been selling for anyway. I guess if I had jumped on it, he would have sold it to me. Can someone HELPPPP me. | |
