Hi everyone, I’m looking into leasing a GLE63 S Coupe in SoCal and trying to get a sense of current pricing. MSRP: around $137k–$140k For a typical lease (36 months / 10k miles): 👉 what’s considered a good monthly payment (pre-tax)? 👉 and how much down payment is reasonable? Not locked into numbers yet, just trying to understand the market. Appreciate any insight 🙏 ---

Also look at what brokers are offering to get a sense of what to expect. The only money I’d consider paying up front is from fees due at signing and first month. Don’t put a down payment for cap cost reduction. Expect payments to be around $1250-1400 I believe a month. The problem is the best programs for these cars are 48 month leases. ---

Appreciate the insight, this is really helpful. I’m actually open to 48-month leases as well. My target is around $5k down and ~$1,500/month before tax — does that seem realistic for a GLE63 these days? ---

Probably could find something around there, especially since the GLE’s are getting refreshed in 2027. ---

That makes sense, appreciate the insight. I’m actually flexible on timing — could move in May, but also fine waiting until Oct/Nov if the deals get better with the 2027 refresh. Do you typically see the best pricing closer to year-end in cases like this? ---
