MSRP is used in certain part of the lease calculation.

The MSRP for leasing purposes is used to determine the residual value (what the vehicle is projected to be worth at lease-end). You want to negotiate the cap cost (the actual selling price) closer to invoice, or whatever the market is bearing based on demand. This in-turn will lessen the spread between the depreciation (what you pay) and thus will lower your monthly payments..

E63

Any word yet on what happened to lease rates for March?
Also, I am being offered an E63 at invoice before dealer cash. Is there some reason E63s would be offered at such a price when Edmunds lists the TMV at MSRP? I'm not complaining but it just makes me wonder if I'm missing something.

mercedes is offering a $2k rebate as well as special leasing terms in March. I was able to purchase a vehicle this weekend at approx $4k under invoice, or $2k under if you include gas guzzler tax.

how (or why) are they offering cars under invoice. As I mentioned, I was offered a car at Invoice minus the 2K which would appear to be breakeven for them. Sounds like they would be losing 2K on your deal. What gives?

Also, are the lease terms for March different than they were for February?

I was told by a dealer and a broker that the rates for the e350 are slightly better this month than last. I am about to sign a 27 month lease 0 down but for dmv, first month, and 795 bank fee, at $620 / mo which includes my local tax of 8.625%. Car is rear wheel drive, P1, ipod, sport. Decided to go with a lease broker after the local dealer said couldn't touch that price. Never used a broker before but looks legit - anyone have any experience, thoughts, concerns?

I used, gotta car a week ago.No any problems. You can do even cheaper than $620. I'd say from $570 to $590 is very realistic.

Thanks, I called the 2 in Brooklyn that I found on Craigslist and one who had told me 590 1 week ago claimed rates were up and first wanted 650, then came down to 625, and the second said 620.
