I have a question about the fake leather interior. I'm debating between a macademia vs black interior for a white GL450. I'm afraid the macadimia will stain too quickly. What color do you have? Any response is greatly appreciated.

A bit of late reply but I had recent buying experience and had multiple quotes in the Los Angeles Area. Big difference in leasing 2008 versus 2009 GL 450
 
2008 GL 450
There are alot of dealer cash incentives and can get big discount off MSRP, but
the lease factors aren't as good
 
2009 GL 450
The dealers won't reduce the price of the car as much, but lease factors are good.
 
I received quote on 2008 GL 450 MSRP 63550 with drive off $1600 with total monthly including tax(8.5%) of $750/month. Without tax this would be about $690-$700. This is without rear DVD. If rear DVD was added it would probably add $40-$60 a month to the total.
 
For 2009 GL 450 on MSRP $66,110
This would include premium I, running boards. Money factor .00105, residual 51% on 39 months for 15 mi/year. Quote was $780/month without tax or $835 including tax.
 
Hopefully that helps. If you don't mind getting a 2008 GL 450 dealers are more willing to negotiate. There are a few differences between the two though. Mostly cosmetic and the navigation/COMAD system and more standards check out both before deciding.
 
Hope this info helps.

dkla:
 
Did you get $14,250 off because you qualified for employee pricing or maybe the dealer just gave you employee pricing? Please let me know if you know the answer. Also, I would appreciate the name of the dealer if you would share. Thx.
 
djahnman:
 
On the leases you were quoted, do you know what the captalized cost was.
 
Thanks for all your help.

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing this info. Excellent deal! Did you also get the 2.9% financing along with this? Also, did the dealer offer similar deals on the diesel (GL 320 CDI) model?

Went through the same process, but chose the '09 for the money factor and major improvements vs 08, especially value included in '09 packages. Bluetooth standard for 09, Premium II has keyless go, iPod integration, voice control. There's $2500. COMAND interface much improved, NAV maps are beautiful, amazing with iPhone, whacker is gone. Has HD radio. Got GL450 with Premium II, Appearance w/ 20" wheels (like 550) and running boards, rear seat DVD (which for '09 has player at back of front center console instead of under second seat, price $800 less), hitch, illuminated sills. MSRP $72,260, got for $750 over invoice on 3rd try, 36 month lease with money factor of .00105 Priced a comparable 08, but lease payments were essentially the same due to money factor at 3-4X higher offsetting much lower price. Think the '09 is better value with improvements. Drive with 20" wheels and COMAND sold me.

Just bought an 08 GL450
 
MSRP $68750
add-in bluetooth $495
Total 69245
Negotiated price $51,619
 
I also priced out an '09
MSRP $69555
Negotiated price $65200
 
I did compare the '09 and liked the improved options etc, but the price difference was well worth going with the '08.
 
As MB did not have a lease deal on '08, ended up financing 2.9% APR.

Congratulations on a great deal. Were you eligible for employee discount or did they give you employee discount, since that appears to be an awesome deal. Which dealer were you able to get the deal from. Thanks for sharing the info and enjoy the car!

Congrats this is an awesome deal. Can you please post the city and state where the deal was made. I also assume this is with a P1 package/ipod integration/19 inch wheels& running boards.

For this deal to work, they would have to sell the car at $2.1K below invoice (approx $61.5K cap cost). Are they discounting that much in LA or were they asking you to put extra money into the deal?
