You are wrong about 2010 E-class. It is going to be an all new model (code name 212) with much more advanced mechanics and electronics and will look somewhat like a new C-class introduced last year.

I suggest you go back and read what I wrote - carefully.
 
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.

I can give you figures for 33 month lease on the E350 4matic:
 
12k miles/yr Residual = .57
15k miles/yr Residual = .55
 
Money factor = .00030
 
you should get $5k - 8k off MSRP

Thanks rten. Do you (or anyone else) know whether the .00030 MF is available for longer terms than 33 month? I'd like at least 36 months and ideally longer. Also, do you know the residual on a 10,000 mile lease?

Real Life Deal on E350 by jpdc

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.

What are the incentives available for a E350 NOW? I see people are saying you can get $8000 off MSRP. But I was told by the dealer that there is only $2000 incentive. What other money is available?

I'm not aware of any special incentives beyond the $2,000 lease cash (it's $4,000 if you buy the car and don't take the subsidized MBF financing). But MB also pays the dealer a holdback of 3% of MSRP, which may be part of the explanation. So the real cost to a dealer on an E350 is nearly $4,000 less than the supposed invoice price. And I bet there are other payments we don't know about.

California Diesel E class lease by br1973

What kind of numbers should I be looking for on a 24 month lease of an E class diesel in CA?
And does anyone have any recs on a good place to go? Fletcher Jones quoted 1100 dollars a month with no wiggle room. That seems insane to me.
Thoughts?
 
Thought about going through leasetrader, but they seem to want your firstborn before you can even contact a seller.

#s for a E320 and E350 lease in AZ. by msc5

My lease on my 2006 E320 CDI is up in mid August and am going to begin looking for new 2008. I like the diesel but the cost of diesel gas is even more than gas right now. Don't know what is going to be happening to cost of diesel compared to cost of gas in next few years??? So, having tough time deciding whether to concentrate on E350 or E320. Even with diesel gas costing approximately .50 cents more per gallon than unleaded gas, given the fact that I only fill my diesel tank 2-3 times per month---I figure I'm still saving money over filling the tank more often with the lower mileage non diesel E350 vehicle??? Anyway, I'm still debating and need to go drive the E350 because I know it drives differently than the 320 CDI which I currently drive.
 
So that I am prepared when I go into the dealerships can you please provide the June residuals/MF for both the E320 and E350 cars for both 10,000 and 12,000 miles. I am in Arizona. Also, does the $2000 dealer cash also apply to the E320. I'm going to start shopping now so I need the June numbers. I figure that if I can't get a deal finalized in June and end up in July that the numbers and incentives will hopefully only get better as we get closer to the 2009 cars being released. If I'm still shopping in July I'll post for the new July numbers---when do these become available? Thanks for the info.
