Just for a data point, yesterday I had a dealer quote me 4% off the gle 53, with a marked up MF of .00187 AND THE CAR WAS A DEMO w/ 3k miles…**** them…
You need to contact one of the brokers on this site. You are not going to get a “good” lease, but you will do a whole lot better than the above offer you were presented.
I just got mine from stevens creek with truecar at 2000 drive off 1580/month with taxes and fees included. 36 month 12k miles. Msrp was 96k. I also got the prepaid maintanance and wear and tear protection plan so after that it was almost 1700 a month. Every other dealers can’t even match the truecar offer at all. And most of them were 5k down 1650+. Now I just didn’t know if I shoulda even got the plans haha but o wells
I am interested to know what you mean when you say “bang for your buck like a X5M or X6M, Range Rover Sport (probably supercharged, doubt SVR would be around 1.4K), or an SQ8 (debatable).”
Most of the cars he listed get compared to the 63 not the 53. If true that at the time you could get them for the same payment as the above 53, then he has a point.
