In large suv i say GL the best the greatest the best looking
,2nd i will say the Q7......
But as far is reliability is concern i think toyotas are the best,specially in the suv the land cruiser ,,,My friends my cousins my uncle they all own it,,
So i can't be wrong abt the land cruiser its the best of the best reliable car,,,and the next generation is coming end of the year
Darn German designers must have been spending some time over in Japan. LOL
Therefore, when I take them in the GL, I put a blanket or sheet down in the back and two cages side by side. This prevents smudges or stains on the interior, but I still have to vacuum because they shed.
PS When they are coming out of a muddy pond with a duck, they ride in her Toyota Tundra. After she gives them a bath they can ride in the GL.

dealer invoice says $63,745 including trans and ad fee.
leasing 39 mos/15k
fleet mgr wants to use money factor of .0027 (not.00245), would like to change this back to .00245
cap cost negotiated to $62,300
bank fee = $795
after tax he gets 844.45. i get 791.33 on my leaseguide.com spreadsheets.
i'm running glfan's deal through my calculator and i can't figure out how you got $736.10 ($680 + 8.25% tax)with $4100 down. can you explain? also, did they use .00245 money factor?
thanks!
Thanks.
Yes, AAA is the auto club and Penske is in West Covina.
Lastly, does your figures include a cap reduction of $4100?
no. i am referring to posts #34 to #37. we're actually not going to put anything down at all. just first payment, tax & license.
Thanks.
no problem. good luck
i got your numbers to work on 10k mi/yr. was that your lease?
I received paperwork from my dealer yesterday. The contract says it is a RETAIL INSTALLMENT SALES CONTRACT. Plus the dealer ran my credit report ( no problem there Credit score was 797). stating that it is standard operations whenever a someone buys a new car.
I am buying the car ( GL 450) out of state. I am using my own credit union. The Retail Installment Sales Contract has only the car price and document fees. It does not have any APR or Penalty information. Is the Retail Installment Sales Contract - A "BILL OF SALE".
I suspect I am suckered into dealer financing which I do not want. Can someone please reply and let me know.
Thanks,
Bapa
search for penske motor cars West Covina on google and you shall seek the path of below invoice GL's. :shades:
I don't know what the difference is gonna be.
They do come out with the '08 GL550, so that should actually be the shining star.
The diesels are really hot, and none of the dealers had a GL with diesel. So, I looked at the GL450 (gas model), test drove an ML320 (diesel) to get a feel of the diesel engine, and was going to place an order for 2008 GL320 to be delivered in August.
But my wife wanted to drive home the GL450 we saw as she liked it so much. I know I did not get a great deal like you guys out there, but here is what I paid. I wanted the basest of options and the model we saw had exactly those, with just the Rear Seat Entertainment as a dealer add on.
Paid $58,000 (+ $4,000 TTL = $62K) for:
Sun Roof package, Ipod integration kit, Running Boards, Power Liftgate and Rear Seat Entertainment (2 different DVDs can be watched).
I was initially looking for a Lexus GX470 and the lowest quote I got from the local dealers is $46K while most folks in southern cal were getting the same for about $44K.
mf of .00395, residual of 58 for 39months, and 67 for 27months. with 10k/year. payment was around 1150 + tax for 39 months and 1300 + tax for 27 months. dive off of 1800 about. i know this is very high and do you guys know of the MF for this car and is residual right? thanks
i am thinking maybe i should get GL450 since there appears to be more room for negotiation.
Have you gotten the delivery yet? Could you please post your experience with this deal? I suppose you don't get much off MSRP if you factory order the car.
I originally ordered a '07 model after I was gonna leave the dealer as he couldn't find my specs, but then he called me back saying that the running boards are no longer being made for the '07 model, so I agreed to wait for the 08 model with the same $3000 off MSRP.
No word yet.
There is major diff. in price tag of both.
Thanks
Edmunds indicates this car is going at MSRP and this deal appears to be under.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance!!
Purchased GL450, PO1 Premium Package, Rear Seat Entertainment package, Ipod Integration, 18" wheels for 62,900. Its below MSRP but higher than what I thought could negotiate. It will take a month for delivery.
alabaster white
sunroof
trailer hitch
6 disc cd
Not much option, but I'm thinking okay if it's a good deal.
I'm wondering if I should spend a little more and get a loaded gl450 or gl320-cdi(this would be a lot more $) I'm a novice buyer. I would really appreciate your opinions.
Thank you.
Several of the dealers didn't even bother to respond to e-mail. The dealership is brand new. They have only been open for a month. It was by far one of the best car buying experiences that I have had. I would recommend them to anyone within driving distance.
E-mail if you are interested in the salesman's name.
PP1
iPod Integration
Rear Seat Entertainment
MSRP $63,220
Deal $59,700 + TTL
Plus I had a trade that they beat by several thousand from any other dealer on multiple makes including Lexus and BMW.

Your e-mail is private so I can't post the salesman's name, but the dealer is RBM of Atlanta North in Alpharetta, GA.

Is 6-7% off MSRP as realistic as a starting point of negotiating?
Thanks to all your feedback
Region and time of year is definitely going to be a factor. Trying to get a deal in January in a northern location is probably going to be difficult (mitigated somewhat I suppose by the growing fear dealers are having about the economy).
I purchased mine in the NY metro area in November.
