Deal Check: 2026 GLE 350 (loaner) 24 month /10k - CA

2026 GLE 350 (loaner)
Has the panoramic moon roof and 360 backup camera
3500 miles

On a 24/10k lease comes out to be $656/mo (tax included) (includes Sams Club)

Here is calculator below, dealer confirmed MSRP is 65,000 and I got MF/RV using RateFinder.
Rest of the numbers I played with to get the dealers $656/mo with $0 out of pocket.

Goal: Trying to get it to $600/mo with (tax included, $0 out of pocket, no MSD) not sure if this is a realistic goal to push for or not.

I’m also trying to work out number with 2 other GLE’s (that were listed for lower) but MSRP is not listing online so I’m waiting for those other dealers to call me back tomorrow.

PS: All feedback and help is appreciated and I’ve been inactive for a while so excuse the rustiness.

Hello

13% is not enough IMO. CA has the best MB prices. I just got an offer in NY for 16% off before incentives for $72k unit.

Did you have a chance to check marketplace here?

Agree with Zenek: I wouldn’t be considering anything <20% off pre-incentive (for a loaner).

I think your right, I checked marketplace and some brokers are offering new GLE for almost the same price.

I’ll renegotiate on this loaner to see if I can get 20 off msrp if not then it broker time.

Thank you!

You can probably get a new one for under $500/mo

Dang I would be speechless if I got a loaner GLE in the 500’s. Im hell a rusty so its been like pulling teeth just to figure out MSRP.

Im seeing some brokers in marketplace advertise new GLE for $680 tho and GLC 300 $540.

So far I was able to only find a GLC 300 loaner $490 (in socal)

Have you driven the GLE 350 and ok with the power? If not, look into 450.

My daily now is a 1980 320 with about 90hp I think it should be fine :sob:

I can’t get anywhere near those deals in Florida, and I wouldn’t think of going to local dealers here anymore. Honestly, those old, dated GLE’s need to be heavily discounted especially with the paltry, pathetic list of options they are coming with. The non-AMG lines look horrible, and without the drivers assistance package you are basically getting an options set from two decades ago.

Did you check marketplace?

This one is not bad.

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350

MSRP: ~$66k

24 months | 7,500 miles (up to 15,000 available)

$535/mo + tax

$515/mo + tax with Fleet

$3,500 due at signing

Concierge Fee: $799

I inquired about the 450, but it’s black on black(sucks in Florida), but more importantly the options were not up to par. I would imagine at the MSRP of that 350 it’s gonna have an options deficit. And nothing screams luxury like an underpowered, base model 350. With the 2027’s being a fairly decent upgrade, I expect older models to be more heavily discounted ESPECIALLY with such an options desert.

650/mo tax included with $0 out of pocket is best I got so far on a black on black with the pano moon roof.

I think 10msd will out it at 600 but yea Im still shooting for 600 without msd

GLE350 ?

$747 was the best I could get for THAT 450 black on black with the pano roof and exclusive trim. MSRP $76k so the all-in is probably a decent cost ratio if someone values the driving experience over all else. It’s just hard to pull the trigger on a vehicle without a solid drivers assistance package in late 2026.

Am I reading the sams club incentive correctly, it says its 4500 on the GLE? (As long as its a CPO that was a dealer loaner not owned by an individual). I was counting 500 but if it is 4500 then that changes the payment to high 4 low 5 :thinking:

Nope, you’re only getting 500 more. Not stackable.

Are you sure though? It seems like its stackable with the MB 4k lease incentive. And I thought thats how the other guy got his unicorn deal with 9k incentives

GLC shows 500 but GLE says 4500 (5500***)

@Mallowpuff linked his calculator so you can adjust it for your situation. Keep in mind on his, the 23.42% dealer discount did a massive part of the heavy lifting which was then helped even further by a $4500 incentive and then a cherry on top by doing $4500 in MSD’s to lower the mf further improving the deal.

Keep in mind a few of us on here were pretty certain that the 23.42% had included the $4500 but we were wrong.
