Hi enano74. Mercedes-Benz Financial's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2011 E350 Sedan with 7,500 miles per year are .00192 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
As far as the selling price goes, this car probably has a spread of between $3,500 and $4,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Add the $4,000 conquest to that and you have a total of $7,500 to $8,000 to play with. I personally don't think that you're going to be able to swing $10,000 off. Probably something like $7,000 is more likely.

Is the same info available for a 2012 coupe with 10,000 miles on a 24 or 36 month lease?
 
Thanks.

Picked up my wife's 2011 E350 Bluetech on 10/1, and the details of my deal are below.
  
Arctic white, P1, Split folding seats, Spoiler kit, parktronic, sport pkg, and tinted windows
  
Lease: 24/12
MSRP: $57785
Final sales price: $50740 (includes $4000 Conquest)
Cap Cost: $51585 (includes marked up acquisition fee $1095)
RV = 76%
MF = 0.00112 (includes MSD & autopay)
Downpayment: $250 (split cost of tint with dealer)
Upfront: Down + DMV + 1st month = $1200
Monthly payment = $460 (includes 7.75% tax)
MSD = $4800
 
What was the original money factor prior to putting down the $4,800 dollars (MSDs)? Do you get all the MSDs back at the end of the lease?

#1853 of 3028 Good Deal? by texasplaythin

Oct 07, 2011 (1:45 pm)

I negotiated for 3 days. Only 2011 Bluetec left:
 
MSRP: $58,950
TERMS: 24 months/10k miles per year
 
I live in Texas, so we must pay sales tax on ENTIRE car. Luckily, I "qualified" for the Conquest $4,000 credit, which more than offset taxes. I didn't use MSDs, but thinking now maybe I should have.
 
I paid only $1,000 at closing for registration and acquisition fee.
Thereafter, 24 payments of $553 per month.
 
Is that a decent deal? I thought it was considering the dealership's first offer was $4,200 down (to cover taxes, registration, and acquisition fee) and $749 per month.
 
Thoughts?

All,
 
Is the good 24 month lease deal that I am seeing on this board only on the 2011 E350 Bluetec? What are the money factor and residual % on a 2011 E350 4 Matic for 10k miles and 24 months?

According to MB, you can't residualize maintenance for diesels:

Also looks like the two-year plan couldn't be residualized in either case....

Hi Texasplaythin,
Coupling your info with assumptions, based on prior posts, I made the following calcs below.
 
RV 77% = $45392
MF=0.00192
Acq Fee=$795
Sales price = $50450 ($8500 off list)
Cap Cost = $51245
Monthly depreciation = (Cap Cost - Residual)/24 = $244
Monthly interest charges = (Cap Cost + Residual) x MF = $186
Monthly taxes* = Sales price 8.25% / 24 = $173
Monthly lease payment = $603
 
If you had done MSD (MF=0.00112), I calculate a monthly lease payment of $526. All in all, it seems like you did well.
 
Cheers!
 
*I'm not sure if I calculated the taxes correctly, but you noted that you have to pay sales tax on the full purchase price.

Anyone have an opinion if the 2012 E350 will
 get conquest cash yet this year?
