Hey guys,

I’m trying to help my mom for her new car.
She wants to lease 2017 MBZ GLE 350. This is what she was told from one of local dealerships. Let me know how you guys think. To me, it seems like there could be better deals than what she has received.

Thank you in advance!!

Seems high. You should take advantage of MSDs. @Alex got one for his pops, so you should check the numbers he got.

My mom just told me thats the money she needs to pay at signing. So assumin it includes all the fees / first payment.

Yeah it seems like a deal on web ads. Do I need to ask for more discounts from msrp in that case?

We got the P2 - I can’t remember the exact numbers but it was somewhere around $62k and we got 14% MSRP. I didn’t post the numbers because we ended up financing it. Lease came out to high $500s and financing adds $200 more - I figured we can keep this “truck” forever.

What year is it? And what do you mean by almost dead?

Plus- these new bigger models are now built here- so I expect maintenance and repairs to be cheaper than their predecessor.

its a '13 has had all kinds of issues. Mine was built here, and I think thats part of the problem. I’ve had all kinds of mercedes in the past none as bad as my ML. The panel gaps and build quality may show a quality control issue with Mercedes. I’ve replaced the presafe controls (1k), adblue heater (2k), and front window along with motor (1k) all since JAN.

That’s why it is good to lease them, so you get rid of them before the issues :frowning:

Amen, but i didn’t know that Mercedes quality was soo far off from Lexus. I started leasing Lexus products in the early 00’s but then I began buying because I felt their quality was very good. My ‘02 sc430 with 28k miles has never had a problem nor has my 10’ ls460l with 105k miles.
