Thank you so very much for the detailed information.
 
If you don't mind, can you please provide the following info about the 2009 lease quote
 
1. Does $875/mo payment include the tax or you have to pay the total tax of 36 payments up front (which is closed to $2000)?
2. When you say "with no money down", does that mean that you don't have to pay anything up front (other than possibly a small amount of dealer admin/doc fees and the 1st payment)?

Hi all...very new to the car buying. I'd like to buy a 08 or lease an 09 gl450 (36mo, 15K per year) in S florida. Anyone had recent experiences with leasing/buying?? Need to make a purchase this week. Any advice would be appreciated. Also please let me know what the MF, risdual value is.Thnx in advance. Is it safe to assume that you can pay about 2000 over invoive on 09?
 
Next Q : the dealer has a 08 Demo 450 with 3600 miles...19in wheels ,P1 pkg, ipod kit, some other extras....MSRP 71K....want 63K for it. I know its to high..anyone know how I can negotiate a better price? its driven by the manager, hasn't been registered.

2008 GL320 CDI by moejojojo

I posted about a week ago but got no responses about some of the deals posted here. I'm located in NJ but I used the dealer in MD that I bought my last car from. Here are the specifics. BTW, 2008 GLs, esp diesels are getting scarce so I would encourage anyone who wants one to at least find out what is out there. If the options/colors you want are not available, getting a 2008 may be moot.
 
2008 GL320CDI Black/Black MB Tex
P1
19" Wheels
Running Boards
Chrome Handle Inserts
 
MSRP: $63,300
Got it for: $50,500
Discount: $12,800
 
I'm happy with my deal. I've had it for 3 days and the GL is fantastic.

2008 GL450 Buy/Lease by td_nj

Like mojojojo, I'm in NJ, and went in to lease an '08 GL450 w/P1, RSE, heat pkg, keyless go, trailer hitch. Looking over the paperwork, the selling price is about $52,500 on a car w/MSRP over $68k. I tried a few other dealers and no one could come close - the guy I'm leasing my E350 from didn't even call me back.
 
The money factor on the lease, though, is way high (7.3%). For 36 mo., the lease payment is $749. But I can finance with a couple thousand down for roughly $815. I think that's a no-brainer. Any thoughts on whether the dealer will freak if I go in now and tell him "Forget the lease, I'll buy it?"

td_nj,
 
 i dont know much about lease, so did not understand the residual, money factor etc in your post but anyways I am looking to buy one in NJ. Based on your post, are you saying that the dealer is willing to sell the car with MSRP 68k for 52k? if yes, can you please send me the dealer details.
 
I also live in NJ and so far the best deal I got is 55k for a 2008 car with MSRP of 68.5k.
 
Thanks in advance.

Wow! $51K?
 
Left a NJ dealer today and could only muster $63,736 off of a $68,085 2008 GL450. First visit though. Have yet to press the issue.
 
Would love to know dksung's dealer.....
 
Near a defunct horse race track?
 
Ivy League school?
 
Within view of Empire State Bldg?
 
We are all on the same team.
 
Thanks.

I think you could get more off than you had ($6K around) in this
troublesome economy.

Re adat - Yep. It was $52,600. I ended up doing a lease at $749/mo instead of the buy. Money factor was higher than I expected, but I would have stretched myself a bit with the buy. Globe in Fairfield. I'm a Ray Catena customer ('07 E350 4Matic), but they couldn't do a 2008 GL deal anywhere near that price, so I went elsewhere.
