E350 special leases pre-july 4th were around $550/month, and E320 were $579/month. I was hoping that leases would improve with lauch of 2008 modesl (launched 2 days back), and with July 4th discounts. Benz has now posted summer love program on 2008 but 2007 leases did not improve et all. It is not clear what is going on. The MSRP difference between 2008 & 2007 is also only $1200. Why? Other luxury brands are passing on considerable discounts post July/4th.. why not mercedes... I was tracking price gap in Accura RL & Mercedes 320 and the gap has widened by more than $7000 making me very confused if I should even wait for Mercedes prices to come down...or go ahead and entertain the aggressive Accura sales guys closing below invoice prices. Please advice on the outlook for E350/E320 2007 model pricing

Can somebody please post the residual and MF on a E350 4Matic Sport for a 24 month, 12K per year lease? My dealer is quoting me 61% and .00385 which I think are crazy high!

Replying to: abindra (Jul 05, 2007 7:36 am) Yes, I am in the same boat as you. As a matter of fact I had put a deposit to secure rates, but the dealer forgot to put my deposit down. I have been told the rates will change as of July 15th. So I am going to wait. Also the reason as to why the 2008's are higher is because of inflation... But your resale value will be higher, so it all works out the same at the end of the day. |

Replying to: mfaizan (Jul 07, 2007 1:49 pm) 2008 Mercedes E350 4matic Sedan 24 Month – Residual 67% of MSRP – .00405 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00370 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 48% of MSRP – .00370 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 43% of MSRP – .00370 Base Rate Your dealer is charging you .00385 because they want to make more money. Regardless of what year you're looking for 07 or an 08, you should start your negotiations at invoice. As per Edmunds, there is $3,000 trunk money in this car. Which means you could ask the dealer invoice minus another $3,000 to start your negotiations. If, I were you, I would wait until July 15th (as I am). I have been told Merc is going to drop their rates due to the unpopularity of the deals. Good luck

Replying to: mfaizan (Jul 10, 2007 1:52 pm) I too went to test the 528i and was not impressed with the interior after sitting in the E350 (and having my heart set on one. Mind you I have always been a BMW driver. I currently have two sitting in my garage. Couple of things. 1. The 335xi and 535xi is probably the best engine BMW has produced in a very long time. There is no comparison between the twin turbo and Merc's 3.5 7 speed auto. 2. If you really want the E350 (which by the way is a bigger car than the (335i), perhaps you want to wait until the 15th of July for Merc's new rates. 3. If you really want the 335i still, I would urge you to wait until August. I am not promising but I have been told that August rates are going to drop for BMW across the board (perhaps not the 328i). Good luck on whatever you decide and keep us posted. |

Replying to: star8 (Jul 17, 2007 7:27 pm) Our local dealers only have a few 2007 left and they are ready to make deals on 2008 for the Summer event. I was told only a trickle of 2008 are coming in. If you can wait, the Winter Sales Event is usually a killer deal. Make sure to get all the specs on the deal your quoted for $600.00. It could be a non-sport E350W without P1 or P2. Good luck! |
