#18 of 114 Re: Lease trade-in help needed [njmum] by oman9 Dec 12, 2006 (9:51 pm)
Replying to: njmum (Dec 01, 2006 11:45 am) Wow...pretty slow board out here...   njmum, the Volvo trade in basically means the cap cost would be reduced by the value of your trade in that they give you. Let's say you negotiate the "cost/price" of the GL450 you want to lease is 65K. Let's say the residual after 36 months is 54%, therefore the value at the end of the lease is $35,100 (54% times the 65K). Your monthly payment, if you had no trade in, would be based on your usage of the car (deprecation) of $29,900 plus the money factor (interest rate) charged on the 65K value of the car. If your trade was worth say $10K for the Volvo, the cap cost would be reduced by that amount, so your monthly payment for the depreciation portion would be based on 19,900 plus the money factor portion. Also you would have generally have sales taxes built into your monthly payment as well although I believe some states require sales taxes paid on the whole vehicle up front. I'm no leasing expert but I do know states vary on how that's handled. Hope this helps...

Replying to: jakpenn (Nov 24, 2006 1:23 pm) Hey jakpenn,   according to the following website: http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=173261   these are numbers that I found (for Dec. 2006): 24 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 67% of MSRP – .00245 Base Money Factor Rate 36 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 59% of MSRP – .00245 Base Money Factor Rate 48 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 53% of MSRP – .00245 Base Money Factor Rate 60 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 42% of MSRP – .00370 Base Money Factor Rate   MB is running their Winter Event now (thru 1/2) and in the small print of the GL ad it seems to say that the dealer contribution is about $2K. Good luck--I am looking into the GL as well, and will post any numbers I get.

#25 of 114 Trying to decide the best SUV for a 6'5" big guy by ingber Feb 25, 2007 (9:25 am)
Hello there, I currently drive a Lexus GX 470 and it is a little snug in the leg and shoulder width department. So as my lease ends I am seeking to move into another SUV. I have visited Infiti for its Q56, Lincoln for the Navigator, MB for the GL450 and am confused as to which is best for comfort and features. I need a SUV for 15k per year, any suggestions and what the best costs are. Does anyone have the SUV's I mentioned and what are his or her thoughts on the topic.   Your friendly NY attorney.

#26 of 114 Leasing - dealer vs leasing company by crestonave Feb 26, 2007 (5:54 am)
I've leased cars in the past with no problems but have always leased from the dealer.   I'm considering a lease on a new GL450. Has anyone had experience dealing with a third party leasing company as opposed to the dealer? I've heard stories about people getting all kinds of grief from third party leasing companies when they turned their cars in at lease end - excessive charges for excess wear and tear, things along those lines.   Anyone have any experience or thoughts in this area? We always maintain our cars.
