Ya, the XJR is similar in price to the SL, but he wants to tone it down a bit haha. I'll mention the XF models and the Audi S6.

My parents haven't liked Audi since the scandal with their cars shifting into drive when parked (a few people died when their cars drove off parking structures). They know the brand is safe, but never liked the fact that Audi never owned up to the issue.

AUDI stepped up. Those owners went were they went because they were morons. Audi is nothing more than an overpriced VW.

He needs to go drive them all.

Pick the ones he likes.

Then focus on the best deal.

Good luck. Nice you are helping.

He already decided on the CLS400. I think that was what he really wanted all along. The LCI model is gorgeous and the V6 is more than enough for him. I would have wanted the V8, but $400 more per month for a car that is only 2k more MSRP isn't worth it for a lease...

I hate dealing with MB on their leases.

Its sounds like he's happy and as far as the payment no doubt they were trying to screw him if he went for the V8.
