I'm considering whether to replace my 2004 Audi A6 w/ the E350 within a few weeks (my lease expires July 2nd) or to get another A6. Audi is offering an extremely aggressive lease deal right now. The MF is .00018 -- which is less than 1%. I see that Mercedes is offering a sweet rate on a purchase -- 1.9% for up to 72 months. But I can't seem to find a breakdown on the advertised lease deal. Can anyone tell me: (1) the MF on the lease deal; (2) the residual values for a 10,000 lease; and (3) whether there's any cash or other incentives for dealers right now? Also, I've heard that 2008 is the last model year for the E350. That doesn't bother me but I would think it would mean that MB and the dealers are psuhing hard to clear them out. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

Call local dealer to confirm. Also, I've heard that 2008 is the last model year for the E350. That doesn't bother me but I would think it would mean that MB and the dealers are psuhing hard to clear them out. Can anyone confirm? The new generation E-class will be introduced as a 2010 model in the fall of '09. It won't look much different from the current model - some cosmetic tweaks and and the SLK's 3.5L V-6 rated  300hp.

Does anyone know if there are any incentives (like cash) for an 2008 E350 4matic. Also can anyone give me rates (MF and RV) for 33, 36 and 39 month leases. I'm in the market and did not know if I should buy now or wait for the 2009.

Replying to: SergeyM (Jun 08, 2008 8:01 pm) I never said it wasn't an all-new model, I simply mentioned when it would become available in the states for sale, and then commented (briefly) on the styling changes and engine upgrade. Mercedes did in fact style the vehicle very similarly to the current model as to not upset the desire among the loyalists. I consider going from round headlights to square headlights a "minor" cosmetic tweak, but that's just me.  |

After going back and forth for a month between the E350 4Matic and the Audi A6, I just pulled the trigger on a 33 month lease for the Mercedes. The lease was nearly $200/month cheaper, primarily because the residual on the Mercedes was 9% better. FWIW, here are the details. E350 4Matic Black paint Black Interior Sports Package Premium 1 Burl walnut iPod MSRP -- $56,410 Invoice -- $52,552 Cap Cost -- $49,660 Monthly payment -- $591.92 ($538.11 + $53.81 use tax) 33 months MF -- .00030 RV -- 58% Inception Costs -- $407.97 (1st month + license fee + doc fee - $500 dealer credit) I know I probably left a few bucks on the table, but not much. Hope this helps. Also, if you're in the Washington, DC area, I recommend Euro Motorcars in Bethesda. Very professional. Contact me off line for the name of a salesman. |
