I should be able to give you an idea of what these numbers should be like for this car though if you let me know how long you want to lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it. You can convert lease money factors into approximate money factor equivalents by multiplying them by 2400. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums |

Replying to: ffcobra (Jan 04, 2006 11:19 pm)  . You're in luck, Mercedes-Benz is still providing $10,000 dealer cash on the 2006 S500 Sedan in January. If I was in the market for one though, I personally would probably lean towards financing it through leasing it through an independent bank or credit union because Mercedes-Benz is not currently providing any sort of lease money factor support on it.

I've got an order down on an S550, and should arrive within 3 months. Here are my questions: I understand that newly-intro'd models typically have some sort of incentive or special lease rate. What can I expect to pay? The car will be sold at MSRP, so I know what the cost will be. What would the typical residual value be, percentage-wise? If the dealer gets the car I ordered, and they try to gouge me with a really high money factor or low residual value, what are my options if I walk? Will they then sell/trade the car to another dealer that I CAN strike a deal with? I don't want them to think they have me over a barrel since they'll have the exact car that I want. Thanks for your help!

Replying to: jadmiral (Feb 11, 2006 11:25 am) I'd be happy to give you an idea of what you will have to pay to lease this car, but Mercedes-Benz has not published a lease program for it yet. Most manufacturers do not publish their money factors and residual values for vehicles until right before they are scheduled to arrive on dealer lots. I may be able to give you an idea of what this car's lease program is like if you check back with me right before you are scheduled to take delivery of it. The dealer that you ordered your car from cannot force you to take delivery of it if you are not satisfied with your deal. However, if back out of a deal on an ordered vehicle you will likely have a hard time getting any sort of deposit that you made back, even if it was supposedly fully refundable. It is a lot easier to get your money back if you made it with a credit card because you can always dispute the charge. They probably will not let you back out of a deal with them and trade your vehicle to another dealer that you can work with. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums |

Replying to: Car_man (Feb 20, 2006 3:24 am) By the way, the lowest price I received is $57500 otd with cd at downtown. My question is how will huge discounts on '06s affect risiduals for the '05s or earlier? Doesn't that lower the new s's residuals as well causing high initial lease payments? What were the incentives or discounts like when the w220s first bowed in 6 years ago? |

Just stopped by a dealership yesterday to get some ballpark pricing on a new S550. The MC Credit residual offered was 61% however the money factor calculated to a 9+ percent interest rate! Does this sound right or should I be looking for better residuals / money factors? |
