Hi msc5. Mercedes-Benz Financial's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 E350 Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00121 and 71% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are .00121 and 60%.
 
The numbers for the 2013 E350 Coupe are .00160 / 70% and .00160 / 60%.
 
If I was in your position I probably would get a new Mercedes in December. Mercedes-Benz will waive up to five remaining payments for consumers who get out of their MB Finance leases early and into a new one, so it won't cost you anything extra to get out now.

Hey romil01. It looks like the dealers that you are working with are attempting to mark your car's money factor up to add additional hidden back-end profit to your deal. This sort of thing is pretty common at luxury brand dealers. Mark-ups can often be avoided by consumers who live in areas that have a decent level of competition.

Hey Car_Man,
Is there any way you an help me locate a reputable car lease broker in the Chicago area? I wonder if that is the most effective way to get a dealer to negotiate seriously.
 
Thanks

Hi ninadipietro. Mercedes-Benz Financial's buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 E350 Coupe with 10,000 miles per year are .00160 and 61% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
I believe that the cash incentive is $4,000 on the Coupe, but I'll double check just to make sure.
 
Neither the dealer fee or the advertising fee are required by the state. Advertising fees are usually charged to dealers by manufacturers and they then turn around and pass them onto consumers. Of course there's also some back-end money that dealers don't share so it's sort of a double standard. Dealer fees are basically pure fluff that dealers use to pad deals.

Hi hshadid. I don't have any brokers to recommend because I personally would never use one. Savvy consumers should be able to negotiate as good a deal or better than a dealer. They add convenience to deals I suppose, but they also add another party that has to profit off of you.

Its just rolled up into the total payment/deal. Same with me. That is why when people start throwing around residual numbers and money factor numbers that is not something I get involved in. I know the car has a strong residual for the 24 month lease. Then I compare like cars. If dealer 1 tells me approx $800 a month (plus bank fee etc) and car brokers has the SAME car P1/P2 etc for 475, then I go with the lower cost. Now I use this thinking on a lease. Peole that buy cars get scammed when they are buying on "what the payment is" This is a different sort of transaction. Car dealers can stretch loans and all sorts of tricks. That is why a novice buyer comes in and the dealer says how much of a payment do you want.
