Greetings edjj. Mercedes-Benz is not currently providing any lease support on the E350 Coupe. This means if you were to lease one through MB Finance, you would have to use its standard lease money factor. That number varies by credit tier and possibly by region, but .00200 is a good estimate.
 
As far as this car's residual values go, Mercedes-Benz Financial's August resid for a 36-month lease of a 2012 E350 Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are 58%. the residual for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 model is interestingly exactly the same.
 
While I suppose that anything is possible, I personally wouldn't hold my breath for lease support on any E Coupes. Mercedes really has only been providing support on the E350 Sedan and E63 Sedan.

-Down Payment including first month payment_total out of pocket - $3500
-24 Month Lease

Please advise me if I got a bad deal...I am a bit worried I over paid for such a car on the lease.

Thanks to all for posting in this forum. I couldn't have negotiated this deal otherwise or have had the knowledge base to do so.
 
Palladium Silver, P1 package, rear spoiler
MSRP - $56385
Sale Price - $47635 ($8750 off of MSRP)
Term - 24 months
Money Factor - 0.00127
Upfront - $1095 lease acquisition fee + tax/registration, No Cap Reduction

Very few Palladium Silvers with MSRP of $56385 remaining in CA as of last weekend. None of the dealers I spoke were willing to go with a $795 lease acquisition fee.

You did well finding the 2012 E350 you like. It is hard to find the colors and options I wanted, and had to comprise on it.
 
The deal sounds good. The only things you might be missing:
1. Auto pay will cut your money factor by 0.0001, which is still nice. The dealer showed me 0.00005 first, but I corrected him from what others posted.
2. You can add the maintenance as part of the cap cost and residual would apply to it, it is like only pay 30% for the cost.
3. I have seen the $795 LAF posted at the MBUSA, but was quoted $1095 on the paper. I don't understand why either.
 
Final summary: try the best you can, but do not over-analyze it. Make it a more enjoyable experience. Dealers need to make money too.

It's a sedan. At least in CA, very few lower MSRP's remaining other than whites and blacks.

Yep, I completely missed the auto pay and wasn't even aware of it until last night when I posted my message. I was in "final" negotiations with four dealers and none of which volunteered that info. The one interesting aspect that I found last month with the 0.00127 money factor was two dealerships quoted me $9200 ($56385 MSRP) to $10146 (High $59k MSRP) off of MSRP but neither dealer was willing to use the 0.00127 money factor on the lease. They did not call me back after I walked away so looks like they are making less off of a lease compared to a purchase at the same price.
 
Yes I am aware of the residualizing the maintenance package from the posts that I read but I am not a big scheduled maintenance guy other than oil changes (I have never done a scheduled maintenances on any of my cars). Is it required that I do scheduled maintenance as part of the lease? Like I said, this is my first lease. Thanks.

#2395 of 2973 E350 Bluetec lease finalized by mersadk

Aug 06, 2012 (1:37 pm)

Just wanted to share details of the deal I singed for Bluetec over the weekend:
MSRP $57,295 (black sport and premium 1 with folding seats)
Sold 49,295
LAF $895
Residualized maintenance for additional $9 per month
MF: buyrate .00210 less 10 MSDs (.00070) and autopay (.00010) = .00130
Residual value 76% 12k mi/yr
Monthly $385 with tax. (10 MSD's and LAF and first month due at signing).
Couldn't be happier with the car and the deal that I got. Thanks for everybody that shared their lease deals as I couldn't have done it without knowing all these details.
