    Thank you Michael - looks like I need to negotiate further on the MF.

    @kyfdx - I think you are right that it was a 10K per year lease so that makes sense.

    As an update, the dealer that was marking up the MF to .00187 was unwilling to adjust saying that they don't offer leases at the "buy" rate and admitted they were marking it up. I pushed it further and they took two days to come back and say no. My calculations show this is about $70 per month from .00187 to .00137 on negotiated price of about 69K (75K MSRP) so I'm going with the dealer who was offering a lease without the markup.

    My calculations assume $0 down payment - which, mind you, is not the same thing as $0 due at signing. There are bank fees, dealer fees, DMV costs and the first payment all due at the beginning of a lease.

    No counteroffer from the dealer? I'm curious as to what they did say.

    I would reply asking them what their estimated payment would be using those prices, and what MF they use to calculate it. Be professional; don't stoop to their level.

    Once they see you are serious, you might have a better shot at making a deal. Or, you start contacting other MB dealers - got to be lots of them in SoCal.

    This is what they came back with $2k down at 12k miles would be around $928 plus tax.
    They did not have one on the lot at 72,355 So they used a MSRP $73,980
    I emailed back asking what the MF is and is the 2k total drive off's

    Thanks.

    The other important number is the selling price ... get that as low as possible to reduce your lease payment.

    Every $1000 equates to about $28/mo on a 36 month lease payment.

    MF was marked up to .00157, which all dealers do. the $2k down included fees.

    I think I just need to email a few other dealers.

    Thanks for all your great help.

    BZZZZTT!! Not all dealers mark up the MF .. you just gotta find the one that doesn't. It's out there.

    To tonka858
    Last December I had three dealers I was working with. All of them charge a dealer fee which is common in Florida. The closest dealer increased the money factor and added an extra $300 to the bank fee. Another dealer further away kept the money factor and bank fee at the standard number. They were $2,000 more in price than the first and 3rd dealers. The 3rd dealer did not mark up the money factor, but added the extra $300 to the bank fee. I went with the 3rd dealer as the lease numbers worked out better. My goal on the adjusted cap cost also took into consideration the dealer fee and extra bank fee. Most dealers will increase something, you just need to analyze each deal.

    Hi everyone,
    Been on this forum for years but never posted....until now!

    I'm looking at either a 2015 GL550 or 2015 GL63 and have been told by one dealer that these lease terribly vs. The GL450.

    They are quoting me MF of 0.002 and residuals of 55% for a 36mo/12k.

    Would be great it someone can post the residuals and MF for these two trucks. Also, my current lease ends in January - do the best rates come out at the end of the year typically or in Sep / Oct? Lastly, can you still do the MSD program in CA? I was told by one dealer that they discontinued it...:-(

    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi everyone,

    Been on this forum for years but never posted....until now!

    I'm looking at either a 2015 GL550 or 2015 GL63 and have been told by one dealer that these lease terribly vs. The GL450.

    They are quoting me MF of 0.002 and residuals of 55% for a 36mo/12k.

    Would be great it someone can post the residuals and MF for these two trucks. Also, my current lease ends in January - do the best rates come out at the end of the year typically or in Sep / Oct? Lastly, can you still do the MSD program in CA? I was told by one dealer that they discontinued it...:-(

    Thanks in advance!!

    Sam
    The dealer is accurate about the lease numbers.

    Standard MF and 55% for the GL550
    Standard MF and 47% for the GL63

    By contrast, the GL450 is .00113 MF and 59% residual.

    Rates change monthly. It's possible that at some point, there will no longer be a lease program for 2015 models.

    We haven't heard anything about the MSD program going away.

    Whatever the cost is, it's probably too much given what you get in return.

    Every $1000 equates to about $28/mo on a 36 month lease payment.

    Is that $28 per thousand of what the car cost or. The amount borrowed.
    so for example adding a $2200 option on a car with a residual value of 60% would ad
    $28 to the payment.?

    I am currently looking at 2015 GL550 with sticker of $94655. Please provide what the residual and MF should be on this vehicle.

    Also the dealer has a used 2015 GL550 with 7000 miles. was just wondering, does MB lease used vehicles and if so do the same residuals and MF apply?

    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Standard MF and 53% residual for 36mo, 15K/yr

    If the used unit is a service loaner/demo or otherwise untitled executive unit, it may be eligible for the new car lease program. Of course, the residual will be reduced for the current mileage.

    Using the base MF of .00113 for the GL450, and the 36/12 residual of 59%, I get a payment of $962/mo plus tax

    Was hoping to get the MF for and residuals for both a 2015 GL550 and a 2016 GL550 for 10K miles.

    Also, to anyone, what do you think is a reasonable % discount off of MSRP to target for the models above?

    Standard MF for both.

    36/10

    2015: 56% residual
    2016: 57% residual

    No idea on pricing

    Standard MF and 58% for 36/15.

    Using your prices (and a MF of .00200), I get a payment of $1063.64/mo plus tax.

    Find out the net cap cost - if higher than the selling price, find out what's being added.

    Regarding 2015 GL550, I have received two offers from two different dealers. One offered $9800.00 off sticker of $95585.00. Another was $11,000 off sticker of $101485.00.

    So somewhere around 10% or 11% discount is being offered now at end of month.

    I am working on a deal and want to pay sales tax upfront.

    Is the sales tax based on the total of the 36 monthly payments which includes the interest OR just the total amount of the depreciation (cap cost less residual)?

     taxes assessed against the total payment – depreciation plus interest

    Curious does MB provide 39 month leases? If so what is the residual for a 2016 GL550 assuming 10K miles? Is there also a 7.5K mile option? Many thanks in advance!

    No 39 month programs for MB.

    57% for 36/10; add 1% for 7,500 miles. Standard MF (.00200-.00220)

    New York
    kyfdx is correct. Sales tax is based on total of monthly payments which include the interest.

    Did some research and came up with this:

    I saw on CarsDirect that Mercedes is offering Customer 1 Certificates on both 2015 and 2016 GL450's. It also says certificates vary between dealers. Any way to find out the value?
