That looks like Mercedes standard money factor. You should use multiple security deposits to reduce the mf to .00155 which will save you a fair amount...if you are in a state that allows them (most do...NY doesn't).

thanks for your input but I wouldn't pay any $ up front unless I have to. Even T&L I'm trying to residualized to save $.

You apparently don't understand multiple security deposits and how they work. They are SECURITY DEPOSITS, not money down on the car. Unlike money down, you get security deposits back at the end of the lease....they are effectively a short term loan to mercedes finance. For that loan, mercedes finance will reduce the money factor on your lease by .00007 for each security deposit (monthly payment) you loan them. Maximum of 10 gives you a .0007 reduction in your money factor and that gives you a significant reduction in your monthly payment....and YOU GET THE DEPOSIT BACK AT THE END OF THE LEASE.
 
making MSDs will save you money.
 
Don't believe me.....ask your dealer to run two cases....1) the deal you were given and 2) the same deal with 10 multiple security deposits. Add up the total cost of each lease...total money out, total money back at the end of the lease.
 
BTW...you will find that if you loan mercedes $5000, you will save more than $500 a year on your car....or, of course, you could leave that money in a bank and make less than $100 a year. Which one works better for you???

Are there any rebates for customers switching from BMW?
 
Are there any rebates on E350 right now?
 
My lease is ending at the end of Februrary. Historically, are MB february or march lease deals better?

Yes, eric312, Mercedes is currently providing a $2,000 cash incentive on E350 4Matic and $3,000 on E350 non-4Matic models to current owners and lessees of BMWs. This is a certificate program though and dealers may have a limited number of them to use.
 
It's difficult to say what Mercedes' March lease program will be like at this point.
