Replying to: ocautoseeker (Jan 28, 2008 1:52 pm) I told them I'm not quite in the 3 months yet and even if I was, I am not looking to have them add payments into the lease. Dealer assured me this wasn't a gimmick and that MB would allow me out early. Anyone else hear this?

Replying to: manly (Sep 19, 2007 1:10 pm) Yesterday (2-8-08) I leased for 27 months but only 10k miles/year the exact same car--or nearly so-- '08 350CLK convert. (I estimate the car will have not more than 12,000 miles on it when I turn in back in 27months) options are: Extra cost paint Premium I NAV Heated Seats ipod IRG participation  $600 -whatever that is MSRP on this car is $61,320. the "capitalized cost" was $ 58,480 My sales tax is only 3.4% -- with $1k down (including the 1st pymnt) my monthly cost is $702.61. The important thing to remember when leasing is that whatever you put "down" over and above the first payment will be lost if you have a car stolen -or- written off by your insurance company.

Replying to: crestonave (Mar 06, 2008 3:05 pm) I am also on long island. What dealer is that and do they have inventory? I am going to be giving up my lease on 05 cabriolet in July but for a good deal would go sooner. I can't speak to MF and residual but monthly is good. Note that I still think quality sucks and hate that MB doesn't cover routine maintenance when everyone else in that space does. Bill

Replying to: bill124 (Mar 06, 2008 3:16 pm) Only BMW still covers routine maintenance for free. Audi discontinued it and most others never did.
