Replying to: sh00k (Oct 12, 2009 8:40 am) Go with as little out of pocket as possible. Should your car be totaled, you will lose everything you put down. Go to edmunds leasing site to get more info. Also you can email the forum hosts to advise you. Keep all the cash down in the bank and use it to supplement the payments. Since you traded in a car that may change things a bit. See if they will let you roll the trade in $ into the lease. Also check out the 2010 passat's. Take a test drive in one and see if it compares favorably with the mercedes. Big $ savings for a eurosedan.

Replying to: jayrider (Oct 12, 2009 8:56 am) thanks jay - those are some really good tips. they did roll the 8k (from the car i traded in) into the lease. on top of that 8k, i am putting down $3500 in cash. that brings the monthly payment down to $580/month for 38 months on a 2010 e350 sedan, p2 options package, 18" wheels, panaramic sunroof. question - all costs for a lease should be what % of the cars sale price? is 50% a good number to shoot for? i just did the math and it looks like, to lease the car for 38 months, i will be paying about 60% of the MRSP. that is, on my 56k car, my trade in + down payment + 580/month for 38 months comes out to about $34,000 which is roughly 61% of the car's price. man, i feel uneasy... that seems like a high number to me.....

Replying to: sh00k (Oct 12, 2009 9:04 am) Lot of money for sure -- check out the passat-cc or 4motion. Plenty of sweetness for a whole lot less. I know -- it ain't a mercedes so if you have to have one I would use the internet to search for a better deal. May not be one but you can try. The deals on mercedes are not great at this time. Go to ridewithg.com and register. You can then post a question on this lease. Swapalease has deals for 699 and less zero down on the eclass -- check them out.

You may want to check out the Nissan Maxima lease forum .. there is a sad tale of a poster who had this exact situation happen to him.

Replying to: michaell (Oct 12, 2009 11:39 am) What's a point to know you gotta good deal or bad ? You got the car already, so try to enjoy it. I'm sure it's better the Scion.... $11K down....wow.... )) Replies to this message: jayrider (Oct 12, 2009 12:34 pm)

Replying to: aeggroup (Oct 12, 2009 12:25 pm) I misunderstood the whole thing -- if you already leased the merc than there is no point to what I said. I thought you hadn't pulled the trigger yet.

Replying to: frogger97 (Oct 13, 2009 5:46 am) If your car has Sport package - take it. I paid for my insurance ( rims and tires ) $380 for the length of my lease. I changed already 4 tires - $230 to $270 each... insurance already paid off. Don't think twice. Replies to this message: frogger97 (Oct 13, 2009 12:51 pm)
