I believe it is until Aug. 31st. Contact Mercedes Benz (800-367-6372). This is the roadside assistance number, but you can also press the appropriate phone button when prompted to get Mercedes Benz customer assistance. Then ask them to connect you to the proper party, which they will.
 
Like I said, I believe it is until 8/31/2011, but I could be wrong. If it is 8/31, you have awhile. But according to my Mercedes Dealer, each dealer has so many they can use. Check that out.

A brief comment on all MB's, after leasing 4 consecutive ones the last 10 years...
 
The $1095 acquisition fee is highway robbery...Audi, for example, only charges $595.
 
The $595 lease termination fee is obscene as well...industry standard is $350ish.
 
Otherwise, cars (one c320 wagon, e320wagon, two e350s) have been mixed...new 350 engine is great, but a real gas guzzler. nav/audio system is awful. seats, handling fantastic. highway crusing superb. comfortable for 4.
 
i had two black/black cars...while they looked great when clean (which lasted only about 6 hours), when dirty they look awful. i would only get a light exterior color and either beige or light grey interior, fwiw.
 
also, if you plan on leasing another benz, don't buy the prepaid maintenance or excess wear and tear... two reasons: car is totalled/stolen you've paid for nothing, and when buying a new MBZ the dealer will overlook nearly everything...my last trade in had at least $1500 worth of exterior damage!
 
and for people looking for 2011 e class, the new engine will be 20% more powerful and 20% more efficient...plus a 7 inch color display. if you're going to spend all this money (at least 10k/year inc. insurance/gas/car details), spend the extra $100/month and get the new model.

MB Finance only charges $795.. the other $300 is dealer markup (with MBFinance permission)...
 
BMWFS is $725 (which they allow to be marked up to $925)..
 
I agree.. it's a ridiculous amount...

My last E350 was a Black/Beige. I hated the black. It seems that 10 years go by between the time I bought a black car and the time I forgot how bad they were. When clean and waxed, nothing beats black. But....here in FL, we get rain every day. As soon as it rains, my black car had water spots all over it when it dried.
 
That's why I just got a silver one with black interior. The silver shows "nothing". The black interior shows no grime or grit like my beige and light grays used to show.
 
As for leasing, I haven't leased in 10 years, but I would never pay that king of uprfront money for a lease. It is robbery, in my opinion.

For those you patiently awaiting the arrival of the '12 E350 sedan, my dealer just advised me that she won't have vehicles on the floor until the end of October. She could not even build one for me at this time.
 
Cheers!

I was just at my dealership this morning. He said they "just opened" the ordering software for them to order 2012 E sedans. He is going to order me an Iridium Silver and a Palladium Silver w/black interior with P1, Tire and Wheel pkg, rear spoiler and sport package for delivery in late October. Then, he said I can choose which one I like best.
 
So, if you want to get one of the first ones available, now is the time to order one.
