Hi Jon. Mercedes might not be doing the Value Added use of 30-month numbers for 33-month terms this month. I believe that it is advertising 24-month leases of this car right now. Chances are that's the most attractive term at this time.
 
Mercedes-Benz Financial's July buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2012 E350 Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00127 and 67%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Yes, rravin, the money factor that you were quoted is correct.

Hi morrislener1. Mercedes-Benz Financial's July residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 E550 Convertible is 53%. Did you mean that you were quoted a money factor of .00210? Mercedes is not providing any lease support on this model right now, so that money factor is probably about right.

Hi 1985mb. Mercedes-Benz Financial's residual values for the E350 Bluetec are solid. Its current 24-month, 15,000 mile per year residual for this car is 74%.
 
Mercedes is not currently providing any lease support on this car. As a result, if you were to lease one through MB Financial, you would have to use its standard lease money factors. I believe that its standard rates vary by credit tier and possibly by region as well. A factor of .00250 sounds slightly high. I suspect that if your credit is in good shape that you'll probably be able to get more like .00210.

Hello Car_man,
 
I am contemplating a 2012 or wait for 2013 e350. Do you know any historical info on how new models are priced/ discounted / lease supported in the few months when both model years are on the lot? (I am guessing July/ Aug & Sep are the overlap months)
 
Thanks..Mark

The best buy right now is the 24 mo bluetec lease.....75% residual and mf of .0014 using multiple security deposits. $3000 conquest money if you drive most any other car plus $1500-$2000 off if you have a current lease or finance through mercedes finance......and that's without any discount off the car.
 
Putting it together, the lease if you pay list price (MSRP) for a $60K e bluetec (if you can find one) would be around $650 plus tax. Get a $3000 discount on the car from the dealer and that drops below $500 per month and that's with $0 down up front, just the MSD loan to mercedes.
 
note: obviously those are rough numbers, but you get the idea.....

I wish I knew where to find one of the Bluetecs. I have been told that there are none and new ones in Oct? Any ideas who has a car on this?

Thanks for the info. I've asked the dealer to include the maintenance in the price of the car and he is adding it into the net cap cost part of the lease equation but not increasing the MSRP of the car. When I ask him why he said something about not being able to do this because it was not a physical item on the car so it was handled differently. Is he right? He has been pretty straight forward with me regarding mf,residual etc. As it stands now the MSRP is $61,310 and my net cap cost is $ 52,925. These numbers do not factor in any maintenance program. This is with drive off of tax and license and 1st payment. The acquisition fee of $795 I've had added into the lease(net cap cost). Discount of $8385. Mf. .00127 residual for 24mo 15k/yr is 67%. What do you think should I tell him no deal if he won't increase the MSRP for adding the maintenance program even though he is residulizing it into the lease via and increase in the net cap cost? Thanks for your input.

Unfortunately, he's probably doing it correctly.....some dealers don't. There is little/no advantage to paying it in advance if he's not adding it to the MSRP. Just go with the flow and enjoy the car.

Interested in leasing an E350 Coupe - any advice, specials, or are the deals better on the Sedan? I see some great posts on the 24m/33m, etc...
