Hi tjbruno. Mercedes-Benz is not currently providing any lease support on the 2012 ML. As a result, if you were to lease one through Mercedes-Benz Financial right now, you would have to use its standard lease money factors.
 
Through September 4th, MB Finance's residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 ML 350 4Matic with 15,000 miles per year would be 55%. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher. The 10,000 mile per year residual value would be 3% higher.

What you were told is correct, mlevine. Mercedes-Benz is not currently providing lease support on diesel MLs right now. As a result, if you were to lease one through Mercedes-Benz Financial at this time you would have to use its standard lease program. The .00240 that you were quoted for the standard sounds slightly high, I think that .00200 or slightly lower is about right for top tier customers.

Thanks Car_Man!
 
How can you find out what the MB "Standard Lease Money Factor" is?

I asked about it, tjbruno, and apparently Mercedes actually significantly improved its standard lease money factors for September. Its current standard buy rate for top tier customers is .00160.

#1388 of 1552 2012 ML Money discounts and lease question by caltman

Sep 09, 2012 (1:54 pm)

Looking to get into a new ML 350 (gas) vehicle. I've been looking at 2013s, but I've noticed that some of the dealers have 2012s on the lots too.
 
1. Anyone know about incentives for dealers to clear the lots of them? We were also looking at 2013 GLs (coming out at end of month), and there are 2012s sitting on lots, and some people have been getting $8k-12k off MSRPs for the 2012 GLs, so I was wondering if a deep discount could be had on the 2012 MLs.
 
2. Car_Man, I wasn't entirely sure on your lease numbers for September for the MLs. Are there differences for the 2012 vs. 2013s? Would you kindly list the MF and residuals for a 24mo lease and 36 mo lease for 12k miles/year?
 
Thanks!

Just to clarify, I'm looking for MF and residuals on 4Matic MLs, not the 2WD versions.

#1390 of 1552 '13 rates by idreamofbenz

Car_man, thanks but I should have clarified, what are the Sept. rates for '13s?

caltman, just my 2 cents:
 
1) Dealers are definitely offering large discounts on 12 GLs to make room for the brand new model. A dealership I went to offered me a better deal on a $66k 12 GL than a $57k 13 ML. It actually would have been much cheaper to get into a GL. But it would be a tough pill to swallow to get into a PREVIOUS generation model and miss out on all the cool new features & enhancements.
 
Discounts aren't near as big on 12 MLs because although its the previous model year, it's still the new generation ML. If you can find a 12 ML you'll still be able to get a better deal, both in terms of price and finance rates.
 
Remember though, by going with a 12 ML or 12 GL you'll be missing out on new standard features in the 13 MY. Features such as mbrace2, Collision Prevention Assist, a color instrument display, etc. It's up to you how much these mean to you.
 
I'm going to the dealership today, I'm really hoping Car_man can let me know what the rates are for 13 MLs this month!
