In essence, you are taking out a loan for the full amount of the selling pricee, and paying the loan down to the residual, at which time you sell the car for what you owe on it (actually turning it in, but the same concept). There is no double interest or additional profit. It is no different than if you bought the car, then sold it to a private party after 3 years. But, leasing isn't for everyone! regards, kyfdx |

| I am considering E350 lease or purchase. I see a couple of people mentioned about $2000 lease money but in Edmund incentive section, it also lists $2000 marketing support apply for all E classes. Since MB also offering 0.9%APR, would it be better to lease or buy the car? I drive only 10k annually. | |

I am looking at a 2008 E63 Retail Price 95440, cap cost 86940 and I have been told two different MF and Residual values from two dealerships. I am looking at a 27 month 15k mi. per year lease. .00150 and .62 and .00120 and .59 are the two I was quoted. What are the real numbers from Mercedes Financial? Thanks. |

Replying to: kyfdx (May 15, 2008 8:10 am) 52,000 X 55% = 28,600 " this part of the calculation is not correct. The residual is based on MSRP not your cap cost (so if the MSRP is 56000. The residual is 56000x55%)... "$28,600 (cap cost) + $28,600 (residual) X .00225 MF = $128.70 per month... " Kyfdx, this calculation is not correct.. the original one is the correct way to calculate the rent (or the finance cost) ... Also don't forget to roll your acquisition cost and dealer doc fee either into the lease or the upfront payment. I think this information from Leasecompare.com will help... (Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation (Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Money Factor = Interest Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment
