#25 of 74 Trying to decide the best SUV for a 6'5" big guy by ingber Feb 25, 2007 (10:25 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 74 Leasing - dealer vs leasing company by crestonave Feb 26, 2007 (6:54 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.

Replying to: ingber (Feb 25, 2007 10:25 am) i dont know abt costs. the GL 450 is probably the most expensive.but i say its the best large suv around.and if u want to go for a smaller suv go for the cayenne or x5,but if u decide the large1 i suggest gl is the best around,but you might also take a look at the audi Q7.   hope u can decide.

I've got a lot of useful info from these boards. So here is my payback:   Just leased a CB/Macadamia GL 450 w. Premium, Sunroof and Xenons in Chicagoland.  MSRP 63275  Negotiated price 58900  Term 51 mths.  Residual 50%  MF .00295 (I know standard is 00245 but I am of the opinion that dealers/salesman have to make a living too. If you cosider the MSRP margins are low.)  Sales tax 3828 (In IL pay on MSRP)  2000 Down for acq. Fee (1095) + some Cap Red.  Ended up at 887/mth.   So far (only 40 miles;-) ) love the car.

#32 of 74 MB Finance Rates -- May '07 by carhead2 May 11, 2007 (7:32 am)
Help, please: What's the MF in May for the GL 450 on a 36-month lease, 12K miles per year? And what do they use as the residual value?   I also have a question about the current MB advertised special ($699/month for 33 months, 10K miles per year), because in dissecting it I can't figure out why it's a 'good' deal, though admittedly it seems good. The lease carries an adjusted selling price of $57,586.78, which is $1738.22 below MSRP. But then you have to pay a $3250 cap-cost reduction at signing, which to my mind means you now have an effective selling price of $60,836.78, which is $1511.78 ABOVE MSRP!!! Is it as bad as it seems, or is MB Finance helping out in other ways -- for instance, the advertised special uses a 64% residual value and an effective MF of .0022. If this RV is higher than standard or the MF is lower than standard, I can see why the lease deal is decent. But if these are the standard MB Fiannce RV and MF numbers, then doesn't the advertised special stink?
