I get about $530 including 9% tax.

Ahh, 9% tax, I used 7.5% let me redo the numbers, still calculations before TAX are much lower, they must have about $1700 in fees in order to get $510/m

I think the $510 i posted was on top of my head with about 1k in fees.

that seems about right

but 1700 fees would be outrageous.

that's is what I get.
Sale price $50.898
tax-0
fees $1700
MF .0004
27m
RV $39.776

$511/m

Total lease cost $13819

If we take 511 x 27 =13,800

13,800 + (39.776)= 53,575 total

50,898 price
+1700 fees
+ 1,000 Interest
= 53,5xx TOTAL

everything matches

yeah, but I would work on $1700, its a LOT.

Most likely around $400 for title/doc fees and $1300 for some sort of protection package

i'm surprised the GS350 isn't a lot wider/longer than the S4 according to these specs

that I don't know. I do know it is popular in TX, but I have a feeling that some other states have it too.

Just remember if the dealer shows you paperwork with less than $1700 in fees that means he is compensating the fee with higher MF.

Get yourself an iphone APP which I use called: Car payment.

The only thing if you going to plug in Taxes, you must double it.

You may be able to get a higher residual if you do a 24-month lease. You negotiated a great deal though, it seems. But like others have said, check the numbers.
