Choose Price With Options to see the final price (both MSRP and Invoice) of vehicle with options. Good luck.If I were you, I'd buy with fewer options but new one off the floor. |

Replying to: coastal2 (Apr 19, 2008 10:43 am) I agree with the previous poster's recommendation - you should price out a brand new one first and see where the invoice price lies between the price that they're offering you on the demo. As for the mileage, I would recommend closer to 30 cents per miles. If the demo was driven by the sales manager, I can (almost) guarantee that he "babied" it, as he knew all along that he'd have to turn around and re-sell it. If it was a service loaner, I'd say no way as only lord knows how many different drivers it encountered. Demo's can be tough to negotite sometimes because the dealer looks at it as if it were still new instead of really looking at it for what it truly is - a used car. The bottom line is this: If they won't sell you the vehicle for close to the deprecitaed value of a used car, but they'll sell it to you significantly lower than a brand new one, you should definitely consider it. You'll definitely want to talk to them about how the warranty was affected and/or if they'll extend it on their dime or for their cost. |

i am a mother of 3 little ones (4 y/o, 3, and 10 months old) and need the 3rd row to be quite accessable. just checked out the Mercedes GL450 and loved it. The lease deal I have been offered is as follows: Drive off fees total $2,236 (includes first month payment, dmv fees, acquisiton fee+tax); then $795.64 plus tax per month for GL450 with prem 1 package, rear dvd, ipod kit, running boards. Is this good? my other option is buying at approx $10,000 off mrsp thanks for any advice!

| Anybody seeing any large discounts on these? Used SUV prices are dropping like a rock and I would think that dealers would need to start discounting heavily to make way for the 2009s. There are about 330 in dealer inventory within 30 miles of my house in Central New Jersey....The 09's start coming in in about 6 weeks. | |
