Hi! I am interested in a 2010 GL450 lease for 39 months/12k miles a year. list on the car is 67,855. It has the P1 package, ent system,running boards. The price we got to lease is $829/mo with total $6800 out the door down (includes tax,title,etc and $ down). How do I know if this is a good price? i have shopped around the area and it seems comparable, but based on things I have seen online, I am not sure. I just want to make sure I am not getting taken advantage of - Any thoughts would be greatly apprecaited. ps: how reliable are these cars??

The GL450 has a good residual, and even with $2000 difference in sticker, you should end up paying no more than $30 or so more per month with the same down for 36 or 39 months. November rates for the GL450 is slightly better than October (residual is the same and MF for 36+ months is .00124) If you want a good deal, got to a large dealership like South Bay in SoCal (ask for Sung) that has a large inventory and doesn't need to milk every deal (Don't waste time on FJ ) Bottom line: Aim for $6500 driveoff with $700+ tax for this car and see what happens - I think its easily doable. Good luck. The GL is pretty reliable. All MBZ cars, like all luxury cars, have their issues, and unless you got a lemon, you should not expect too many problems. Look at the big picture: Its a great car, fun, roomy, comfortable. It doesn't get any better.

We used to live in the south bay, but now live in Boston, a little too far, don't you think Dealer here seems motivated, so I will keep you posted thanks for the feedback! enjoy the sun!!

So this is the lastest deal: 2010 GL450 Artic white/ blk interior P1 package, running boards, dvd install in headrests, Deal is $6800 out the door, 36month/12 year $749/mo lease. This is around 700 plus tax like another person mentioned. I am in no rush for the car and am wondering if I might be able to get a lower payment towards year end - any thoughts?? thanks!!

Looking to lease a new GL450. Premium 1 package, appearance package, and towing accessories. MSRP = 67725. 36 or 39 mo's, 12k/yr. What would be a good monthly number - is it possible to get better terms than what's being offered through their sales event?

Replying to: bjordan1 (Nov 10, 2009 10:17 am) I do think the most you'd still be able to squeeze out of the dealer another $50-$60 per month (excl. tax) but even if you don't get that much you're still in good shape |

| We drove 2 hours to a dealership on Sunday and when we got there he said he thought the car was on the lot but it's actually in transit (on a truck) and should get here Tuesday or Wednesday. Well, still no word on arrival. We have already signed the paperwork and were given a loaner car, but I'm starting to get impatient. We are paying for the GL and we want it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this with a dealership? | |

Replying to: oyvey247 (Nov 07, 2009 8:54 am) As far as how good a deal this offer is, as I mentioned earlier it is obviously a lot better than what the dealer was initially offering you. I would be happy to give you a more detailed evaluation of your deal if you provide me with this truck's MSRP and selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is difficult for me to telll how large a dealer discount you are being given, and in turn if there is any meat left on the bone so to speak so close to Thanksgiving .

Replying to: Car_man (Nov 19, 2009 3:20 am) As for the $6800 down, if something happened to the truck, wouldn't my insurance cover that? We want a low lease number per month b/c we already just bought a MB350 with no $ down and that payment is $900/month! Also, do you know anything about the 2007,2008 GL's catching fire? I read a few things online and am not too keen on the Truck burning my house down - dealer knows nothing about it - Have they fixed this problem for the 2010?? My current lease (MDX) is good til Oct 2010 but I can turn it in anytime - I am in no rush, just need a good deal. Was originally going to buy the Sequoia but their lease is $850 month! yikes! Thanks for all your help! Happy Turkey Day!!
