Tough call - Mercedes has "incented" the deals from both a finance and lease perspective. My advice would be... if this is your first experience with this particular vehicle, I'd take advantage of a lease to see if you like the car. Plus the fact that you drive so few miles/year makes you an excellent leasing candidate and keeps the vehicle within warranty for the duration of the lease.

Actually.... my point was.. if you pay all the depreciation upfront, then your net cap cost is the same as the residual... and you'll still have a monthly payment..
 
The biggest misconception about the finance charge is that it only applies to the amount of depreciation, when in fact, you are borrowing the whole car, not just the part you use up..

What are the current Residual/MF numbers for the E320 Bluetec.
Also, are there any hidden (dealer) incentives on these cars right now?
 
Thanks

'08 Mercedes E320 BlueTec Sedan
24 M – Residual 65% – .00150
36 M – Residual 55% – .00225
48 M – Residual 46% – .00225
60 M – Residual 42% – .00330
 
Posted residuals are indicative of 15k annual miles. Add 2% for 12k, add 3% for 10k.
 
Finance Special:
1.9% APR (terms up to 72 months)
 
Hope that helps.
 
Btw - diesel was $5.09/gal in SoCal today (ouch!)

Funny you should mention that - the past three day we've had thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail and even had two twisters touch down that flipped over some rail cars. Some weird wx, no doubt!
 
Got three rounds of golf in last week though, when it was sunny and 95 (nice breeze though)!

e63 May Lease Rates by jackk1

I am trying to close a deal on a 2008 E63 and I really need to know what the real numbers are for May. I am getting very different numbers from 2 dealers. I want to do 27mo. 15k/yr. Someone please tell me the MF and Residual numbers for that vehicle from Mercedes Financial. If anyone has leased one this month it would be great to know what your MSRP, cap cost, MF, Residual, payment and tax rate are.
 
Thank you.

Here are MBC's numbers for May on an E63 AMG lease with 15k annual miles. Be sure and have them factor in the $2000 MFD incentive when negotiating your cap cost.
 
24 M -- Residual 59% -- .00100
27 M -- Residual 59% -- .00120
36 M -- Residual 50% -- .00175
 
The cap cost you mentioned ($86,940) in your previous post looks very aggressive. If you opt for the 27m/15k term, you'll be around $1300/mo + tax. Standard drive off costs will apply.
 
Hope this helps...

Thank you very much. What is MFD? Mercedes Financial D?

MFD = Manufacturer-to-Dealer (cash), 'aka' marketing support, 'aka' trunk money as dealer's will so refer to it.
 
In this case, there is $2000 on the table (dealer does NOT have to share this with you), but he most-likely will pass it along to you in the form of a cap cost reduction if you let him know that you're aware of it.
 
Good Luck!
