Hello everyone,
 
Has anyone taken a look a the offer MB is doing for sept. I'm considering the ML350 08 with the package below, but was wondering if MB would even negotiate this since the 08's are brand new and they are running this promo. Thanks

They've been running this for a few months. I bet you'll be hard-pressed to find a ML350 equipped with such few options though. Once that happens guess what - the figures start going up! They call this "Loss-Leader" advertising (drive them into the showroom on a low price on a car near impossible to find - then sell them on a more expensive car once they come to the dealership.)
 
Buying a 2008 this early in the season has some drawbacks --fewer units on the lot and dealers less willing to haggle. Basic supply vs. demand.
 
If I were getting an ML now, I'd reseach invoice prices w/options I wanted then shop aggresively to find a dealer willing to deal with an "Invoice + Profit" mentality vs. "Discount off MSRP". I believe ordering a car does not subject it to the typical inventory expenses (flooring costs, etc.)which makes it a little more negotiable from a dealer's perspective.
 
Also make sure you're educated with the best Money Factors your credit rating will buy and the lowest Residual Values for the lease term you're interested in. Dealers are notorius for trying to slip in a higher rate to unsuspecting buyers.

Lease trade-in 07 C-Class by sammin

I have about 18 months left on a 2007 C280-4matic. Turns out with our expanding family, this car will be too small very soon.
 
What are the chances of doing a lease trade-up for a 2007 or 2008 ML350 without getting killed? The C280 lease is with Mercedes Financial has a cap cost reduction of $2500 plus $750 bank fee, DMV fee, and all tax paid up front.
 
If it is too soon, at what point should I try?
 
Thanks

Hi Carman,
 I'm thinking about leasing the ML 350 but don't understand how the money factor and residual get calculated. Current, MB is offering 33 months, $6K down, payments at $499/mo, based on a price of $48,885. But the down payment of $6K seems quite high. Where should the money factor and residual be -- and how do I know if I'm getting a good deal.
 
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Carman,
 
I am in the market for ML350, but I don't know what are the curent residuals for November for 12 000 Miles, 36 Months lease with Mercedes Benz Financial.
I saw some rates at leaseguide.com but I think that those are from the banks and not from MBFS.
 
Thanks

Hi - I'm looking at an '08 ML350 (considering 27-33 mos. lease/12k) and also would like the residuals and money factors for this month and any information regarding lease specials or dealer cash available. Any idea if they're expected to change for December or January? Thanks.

I want to do a 48 mos. lease on a 2008 Mercedes ML 350 with P1, heated front seats, voice activation, trailer hitch... MSRP's have been about $52,000 to $53,000 in Texas. I'll drive approx 12k miles/per year.
 
What are the best lease factors and residual values? What percentage off MSRP is possible?
