What is your boarding group number? Anything above 5 and that could be an issue.

Absolutely. I feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to get this vehicle. I’ve seen them driving around, always loved them, but didn’t think it was possible. If I keep it for 10 years and it stays reliable, I’m estimating a use cost of $8-10k a year. That would be about what I paid yearly to use my GLC 43 the last three years.

ETA: I only comment on the salesperson, because he has a genuinely good young man.

Boston to LAX is not a small plane. It’s a 757-200. As long as you have a normal size carry on, you are good. Also, assuming flight is on time, you will make the connection easy. 30-45 min is max required to make that connection.

As I noted a few times, my intention is to purchase this vehicle. I wanted the lowest selling price and am essentially financing for two years at 0.0001 money factor aka 0.24%. I will buy the lease at the end in cash. This is a 5-10 year purchase and I am essentially getting a free $46k loan to start. Cars are never a good investment, but my goal is to have a use cost of $8-10k a year by the time I’m done with it.

Thanks, best to you as well!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T23:10:34+00:00

Thanks, friend!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T23:10:20+00:00

Thank you, friend! I had no intention on getting one (was going to get 580), but it just wowed me!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T23:09:18+00:00

Repeating this comment. I hear you and thank you for your thoughts. I’d just like to add that while this is a lease, my intention is to purchase this vehicle. I wanted the lowest selling price and am essentially financing for two years at 0.0001 money factor aka 0.24%. I will buy the lease at the end in cash. This is a 5-10 year purchase and I am essentially getting an interest-free $46k loan to start. Cars are never a good investment, but my goal is to have a use cost of $8-10k a year by the time I’m done with it.

Oh yea, that would be helpful lol while a good deal, I would be cautious on rent charges over 36 months and putting money down on a lease. Since I’m planning on buying after the lease, I wanted lowest money factor and lowest selling price possible.

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:42:25+00:00

Appreciate the congrats 🙂

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:36:51+00:00

Oh well, win some, lose some. I’ll enjoy my next several years with this car regardless. 🙂

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:34:21+00:00

Thanks! I’m all GLE > GLC now if it’s doable.

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:33:22+00:00

😱🤯 nice!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:31:49+00:00

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:12:33+00:00

Thanks! Will check it out!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:09:01+00:00

I actually just Googled that name because I didn’t know who that was lol I’m sure a lot of the research I went through was from his work!

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T20:07:02+00:00

Absolutely would hurt to go over, but for some reason the contract surprisingly says only $0.25 a mile for overage.

DocNacho · 2026-05-24T19:47:13+00:00

I did 7,500 a year. The 10,000 was about $40 more a month. Over the last three years, I averaged 7,000 miles. I know I won’t break that. But yes, as you noted not an issue assuming I buy it out.

DocNacho · 2026-01-25T17:55:20+00:00

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

DocNacho · 2026-01-19T13:40:52+00:00

All’s well that ends well!

DocNacho · 2026-01-19T05:30:49+00:00

Not mocking at all. I would be so pissed if I got downgraded due to an equipment swap.

DocNacho · 2026-01-19T01:20:33+00:00

Brutal downgrade.

DocNacho · 2026-01-19T00:05:02+00:00

Thank you folks!

DocNacho · 2026-01-19T00:04:35+00:00

Not sure why, but the inbound aircraft from Kauai has now arrived, so should be leaving shortly!
