I.M.H.O. (airplane speak for "In My Humble Opinion") you did just fine. I'm not a "car-guy" since my one indulgence happens to be airplanes--private air travel is my first-choice form of transportation and I've had a plane since I was 26...and thats alot of years!
 
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.

Hi,
 
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.

Only BMW still covers routine maintenance for free. Audi discontinued it and most others never did.

I think Audi still covers the first year...
 
And.. you can extend it to 4/50 for a list price of $595..
 
But, other than that... BMW is it...
 
A lot of buyers think that it's no big deal.... until they come home with a $150 bill for their first oil change..

What do you guys think of the price and leasing cost for that car? I found my sheet from 2005 and my cap cost three years ago for the 320 was like 56.9K leaving me with payments of I think 749 for 39 months. His cap cost with nothing down is less. Seems to my I got a bad deal, he has a good one, or some combination. Let me know. My lease is up in July. Also, what do you guys think about availability in June? Does the weather increase demand / am I better off looking now?
 
Also, for the guy with the earlier post with the pricing, let me know what dealer,even if not on long island.

Hi everyone,
 
I just got my 2008 CLK350 and I thought I had a really good deal, but after reading many posts. I am not sure. Can anyone help me to figure out if my deal was good or bad?
 
Monthly Payment: 570.90 + 47.10 Tax in LA = 618
 
Term is for 12k a year for 27 months.
 
Gross Capitalized Cost: 48,872.90 + 795 (Acquisition Fee) = 496667.90
Down Payment: 5,286.00 (Includes below items)
 -618 (First Month Payment)
 -3917.36 (Capitalized Cost Reduction)
 -323.18 (Sales/Use Tax)
 -370.00 (Registration)
 -45.00 (Document Fee)
 -8.75 (DMV Filing Fee)
 -3.71 (Sales tax on Document Tax)
 
My car has P1, Nav, and Ipod with diamond silver exterior.
 
I don't know what my money factor is. Could anyone help me to figure out? This is my first time leasing a vehicle and I am really concerned with the deal I got because I did not negotiate any on the price.
 
Thank you!!!

What was the sticker price on the car? I am trying to figure out what they took off. From the guy above that was looking at the cabriolet that hasn't replied, it looked like he got off about $5,600.

I emailed the data from the 629/month posting by crestonave to my dealer. He said he would meet. He said he can't get to exactly the MSRP posted by crestonave of 60105 and selling price is 54411. Crestonave, any way for you to detail how you got to that?
 
 Dealer also said that even with that pricing, they will still let me out of lease three months early just to take new car now. Said pricing not different for 36 months but said redesign likely either 09 or 10.
