Replying to: wantmb (Jan 27, 2006 8:17 am) I don't have access to the information that Car_man has..   But, my best information is that the '06 350CLK coupe, leased for 36mo/45K miles (don't have 39mo. numbers) has a residual of 57% and a base money factor of .0023   Hope this helps, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: wantmb (Feb 01, 2006 6:13 am) Hi wantmb. If you were to lease a 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK 350 Coupe through Mercedes-Benz Credit right now for 36 or 39 months (the lease programs for both terms are exactly the same) with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be an attractive .00160 and 57%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take the $2,000 bonus that Mercedes is providing for deals through MBC into account. It will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#13 of 155 Help from Car_Man on buying a new CLK? by moleary Mar 14, 2006 (5:48 pm)
Car_Man,   Your posts have helped me buy several cars in the last 12 months! You are a real asset to this site! Hopefully you can help us get the best price on a new CLK350.   My wife would like a new CLK350 with the following options:   Comfort Package Lighting Package Premium Package Sirius Radio (love that satellite!) Metallic Paint (Black Obsidian) Rear side airbags Lowered Sport Suspension Run-flat tire package   MSRP: $60,015* (as equipped above) Invoice $55,869* (as equipped above)   *Includes $775 destination fee.   We will lease the vehicle through Mercedes Benz Financial (formerly Mercedes Benz Credit), this will be the third consecutive lease though them. We have tier 1 credit so we should be able to get the best possible money factor. I have seen 1.9% advertised on 36 month financing, does this apply to leases or should we figure on the .0016 factor?   You listed the residual as being 57% w/ 15,000 miles / year. Using the 15K miles per year year number of 57% (I assume of the MSRP) the vehicle's residual value after either 36 or 39 months would be $34208.55. My wife will never hit 15K miles a year what would the residual be with 12,000 miles / year.   Do you know of any dealer holdbacks or other incentives on these vehicles right now? I believe I saw a $2000 rebate listed somewhere in this forum, if you go through Mercedes Benz Financial.   What else should we be considering on this vehicle lease? I plan on sending our local dealer an offer using the spreadsheet available at Carbuyingtips.com. I want to make sure I don't leave something out that makes me look like a nit-wit.   Thanks in advance Car_Man! I suspect a lot of folks in here owe you some really nice dinners!

Replying to: moleary (Mar 14, 2006 5:48 pm) From what I understand, money factor is .00300 on cabs, and .00145 on coupes. $2000 Bonus cash is also for coupe only, not cabriolet. MB dealers do get holdback, but don't hold your breath waiting for them to pass that on to you. Generally, Cabriolets sell out every spring, so they don't get discounted too much in many parts of the country. Don't know about residual, maybe 1 or 2% different for 12000 miles??? Maybe someone else knows for sure?

Replying to: moleary (Mar 14, 2006 5:48 pm) I'm glad that you have found my posts so helpful, moleary. Thanks for the kind words . Mercedes-Benz Financial's current 36 or 39 month buy rate lease money factor for a lease of a 2006 CLK350 Coupe is an attractive .00145. Its has much less support on the Convertible models through. The corresponding 15,000 mile per year residual value for this car is 56%. Its 12,000 miles per year residual value would be 2% higher. Mercedes is providing a $2,000 cash incentive on CLK350 Coupes that are leased or financed through Mercedes-Benz Financial right now. Make sure to take this cash into account when making your offer on this car.   That should answer all of the questions that you asked, but if you think of anything else let me know.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: moleary (Apr 02, 2006 8:13 am)
