my neighbor is deciding to trade up to the CLS, the problem is he is already leasing an 06' R350. He is already paying about 700 a month. He doesn't wanna spend to much. Here is his car. 2006 R350 Black on tan. AMG package, heating package, prem package, lighting package, 3 zone climate control, 2nd row console, power tailgate. It has about 20000 miles. How much do you think it would cost him per month to trade up to a nicely equiped 06/07 CLS class.
Talk to the dealer to see what they could do. Two months ago, I asked my sales how much they would take my 06 R500 if I order an 08 from him. He said $38K top (MSRP was $66K). Your friend should wait another year or so, otherwise, he is taking a big hit.
