Hi Car_man,
 
Wish I found this site before I bought my ML 350, but here's my question for you or to anyone:
 
I just LEASED a 2006 ML 350. I don't know if I got a good deal, so if anyone can reply, I'd appreciate it. I do love the car and it drives fine, I didn't sense the weird transmission jerk or whatever.
  
The MSRP was 49,835 with premium package, sunroof, heated seats, DVD navigation, power tailgate. I got it down to 45,577, which they told me was already 1,500 below invoice price. With the fees and all, it came out to a total of 46,717. This is a 39 month lease at $628.87 a month, tax included. I kept telling them I wanted below invoice, not at invoice, or over invoice, so hopefully that's what I got.
  
The initial payment with all fees, etc. and first months lease was $5,300. I thought that was a lot to get the SUV out the door and it didn't seem to reflect the discount they gave me. We started at $5,300 out the door in the beginning of the deal and at the end of the day with their discounts, it was still the same.
  
please respond and tell me if this is an ok deal. I always buy my car, this is the first time that I've leased. thanks.

For an 2006 ML350 In California as of May 5th I was told they could only do
59% for a 3yr/36. Saying the residual changed on April 30th, can anybody else validate this.
 
Also I am seeing deals out of Southern california are about 1.5-2K under invoice, anybody seeing better ?

Hi Car_man,
 I am shopping to lease a ML350 SUV, what is the current money factor and residual factor for this suv ? Is there a Acquisition Fee & Disposition Fee during lease.

split the driveoff amount of $5,300? I don't know, maybe. I didn't ask. I just gave them my credit card for that amount so I can drive the car off the lot.

Hey Varunku,
I don't know how all these numbers add up, but to answer your q's, this is what I paid for on an ML350 lease, hopefully you can do better:
MSRP = $49,835 (premium package with DVD navigation, etc.)
money factor=.00365
Residual factor=61%
what I paid for= $45,577
Acquisition Fee = $1,095.00
Document fee = $45.00
Vehicle Total = $46,717
 
Monthly payment = $580.94 plus tax $47.93=
$628.87 a month for 39 months
 
If you add the following
= driveoff lease was at $5,372.51
Monthly of $628.87
Capitalized cost reduction = 4042.40
Sales tax = 333.50
License fee = $359.00
Documentation = none
Registration = none
Tires = $8.75

The money factor looks high, is this the same with all dealers ?

Going in there, I knew to ask about the money factor and maybe if they can lower it, so I did, the dealer said no, point blank, something about the bank. My credit score was high 700's. That's pretty good I think. Maybe he could have done it if I insisted. I only asked once. I guess one should ask and ask again...
