Replying to: vinnyny (Nov 13, 2007 10:29 am) My lease on CLK 320 is up in May 08. I am thinking of going to BMW because I think Mercedes quality is crap (this is my second) and I think they have nerve not to give routine oil changes, etc. as part of car price. My concern is size. How did that 330 compare in size? I use back seat for 2 kids (13 and 7). thanks. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Nov 14, 2007 10:39 pm) bill124 (Nov 15, 2007 1:51 pm) vinnyny (Nov 18, 2007 6:27 am)

Replying to: vinnyny (Nov 13, 2007 10:29 am) No I just have the coupe. I don't know if I would ever put the top down if I got a convertible. The CTS has a better Warrenty on it I'm just afraid I won't get the service I get with my mercedes. I also heard that they are going to make a CTS coupe next year. I wanted to check out the Audis too, they were coming out with an A6 but its not here yet.   Oh I was thinking about gettting a C350 insteady of the clk this tiem. Like it?

Replying to: bill124 (Nov 13, 2007 11:15 am) My 330 convertible's back seat was unusable once my kids were over three feet tall. When my teenage kids rode in the back, the only way they could do so was to sit cross-legged because there wasn't enough room to plant their feet straight down. Even sitting behind my 5'2" wife was nearly unbearable for anything but short trips.   That said, my 330 was a 2004 model and the new model may have more rear seat space (but it doesn't look that way to me).

Replying to: vinnyny (Nov 14, 2007 10:39 pm) Thanks very much. I will take a look at the new models. Lexus is way too small. I may wind up with another CLK but only as a lease becasue I don't want to have to worry about the crap that I have had go wrong with mine. The radio alone kept the car out of action for well over a week. They replaced it and the sound still was garbled. Turned out to be some amplifier outside the radio. What other cars do poeple looking at CLK convertibles consider ? I really didn't want to go up to the 80K range of BMW 745. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Nov 18, 2007 6:27 am)

Replying to: bill124 (Nov 15, 2007 1:51 pm) Unfortunately, you don't really have too many options if you want to carry four people. The 335 and CLK are probably your best choices if you don't want to reach too far up or down. The Chrysler Sebring is probably the most practical 4-seat convertible, but who wants to drive that (except as a vacation rental)?

HI Carman,   Im looking to Lease a 2008 or 2007 CLK Convertible. I would like 15,000 miles per year. What should I be expecting as a reasonable monthly price including tax. I have gotten a quote of 660 monthly and 1300 down.....It seems a bit high on the monthly I would like to get to about 550 a month incl. tax..... same down..is this possible.. MSRP is about 55,000 or so.... Replies to this message: nkf2008 (Nov 27, 2007 7:29 pm) spybond (Dec 03, 2007 1:34 pm) nkf2008 (Dec 04, 2007 8:36 am)

Replying to: talei123 (Nov 27, 2007 4:45 pm) hi everybody   Today I leased a CLK 350 Coupe that I have been wanting to get, and here are some specs and numbers. When I went to the website MBusa.com and designed the car, the MSRP came out to be 49525.00. This is a White on Ash interior, with only a P1 Package. When I signed the paper work I saw very different numbers. The Gross Cap Cost is 42671.0 that is a difference of about 7 grand off of MSRP. Residual value is at 61%, and off of the MSRP it becomes 30210.25. Life of the lease is 27 months, with 22500 miles over the lease, about 833 per month allowed. I paid 1600 in Amount Due at Signing, in that $ is the Acquisition Fee, Cap Cost Reduction, Sales Tax, License and Registration fees for NYSDMV and some inspection and doc fees.   I am paying 485 a month for this car, (tax rolled into payments) but I think I could have done better. Carman or you good folks in forums, please give me an opinion and do some math with me to make sense of this lease?   Thank you.

Replying to: nkf2008 (Nov 27, 2007 7:29 pm) nkf2008 -   Based on the currently advertised lease special... this sounds like a GREAT deal. I only hope that I can do just as well. The current lease special is for 499 a month with 4k drive off. I like where you ended up and I wish I could get the same deal here in California.   I am trying to decide between the CLK and E-Class and I am making my decision 100% based upon getting a great deal. :/ Not the smartest way to go... but its me.   Did you notice that the advertised lease in NY was similar to the 4k down they are advertising here in LA?

Replying to: spybond (Dec 03, 2007 1:34 pm) hey spybond;   i didnt go through a dealership, I went through a leasing agent, that may be the key to getting this deal. I know on the east coast they have a fleet rebate for the dealers, thats why you will see great rates on the MB cars here in Ny/Nj areas. Ask your dealer or whoever you are in business with if he is getting a rebate on the car, and if they do fleet rate leasing. I was offered E-Class fully loaded for 499 a month, with 2k out of pocket, but I went with a CLK, because I honestly like the coupe better than the E-Class, it wasnt a big money factor difference between the two.   If you cant get these deals in CA, I would suggest going for a Lexus GS, that was my other choice, but I couldnt wait until December to get that deal, knowing now that Lexus has a good promotion on them.   Good luck, let me know if you need some info.
