The second part of the ad is about 2006 R500.
I called the Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach
and even email the ad to them but they don't
want to quote prices on the phone or email, I
think that can cost them at least my business
since I don't want to drive 3 hours round trip
to go to Newport Beach and not get the deal.

I think the "gap" insurance that is included in the MB Financial Lease will cover that eventuality, but I would check with MB Financial directly to make sure. I have seen that objection to the one-pay lease option before, but I do not know the veracity of those comments. In fact, I may just call MB Financial myself tomorrow to try to ascertain the real story. Somehow, I can't imagine that MB Financial would make the single pay lease available and not provide a significant caveat if there was a significant risk of a serious problem were a theft or total loss were to occur.

Wanted to thank everyone on the thread for some very useful information. I just leased a 2006 R500 demo up in Boston. The rates and terms I used on this site were invaluable, here goes....
2006 r500 pewter/black 8k miles, mbusa demo
premium pack, keyless go, full leather, heated seats, rear side airbags, parktronic sticker $65,540.
27 mos/12k year
$1700 due at inception...first payment, bank fee, title/tags
$560/month + tax
I opted for the one payment which came to $14,100...saved $3300 or $116/month.
 
I had gone there to get a new r500 also pewter/black w/ $61,345 sticker, but wasn't crazy about no parktronic or heated seats, so the i went for the added options and probably paid $25/month more than the ideal math, but I got exactly what I wanted. The terms came out to $17,200 off sticker due to demo, 66% resid b/c mileage at end would be 35k, not the 27k i have in the lease. The mf for monthly pay was .004, and the one pay worked out to .0027, calculating backwards. I almost bought one from CA earlier in the month and have it shipped earlier in the month but, wasn't crazy about the color and $1200 to ship($50/mo on 27 mo lease). So looks like the Northeast pxing is getting aggressive. I was quoted $730/month and ~17,500 for a one pay, with less options, from another local dealer 3 weeks ago.
 
Thanks again, info was invaluable.

I was able to go to downtown MB dealership yesterday since
they told me they will beat the competitor's offer.
 
This is what I got on the 2006 R500 with MSRP of over $62K I think they discounted it to $46500 with $2350 drive off and monthly payments of $680/mo. 12k/yr. 27 mo. The one time pay was $17500 for 24 mo., since they said they can't do one time pay for more than 24 months.
 
They said my credit scores were low. The highest score was a little over 680. They were calculating my lease at tier 3. There was a big gap between what I want to pay and what they are offering me. So they said on Monday they will call MB financing and see what they can do.
 
They asked me what is the maximum I can pay and I told them
$450/m. $2000 drive-off, 12k/yr. for 27 mo. or $13000 one time pay. I think I may have over estimated the one time pay. What do you think? Thank you for all the help you have given me by having a very lively forum I have learned a lot.

5 weeks ago I paid $13,700 one pay for an R500 with a $63,500
sticker price, Tier one credit.
 
Likely they look at middle score, still does not seem that you should be tier 3

$13,000 single pay for a $62K MSRP R500 is just about right on for an excellent, but entirely attainable deal. I don't think you could get much lower.However, Simonson in Santa Monica has been openly advertising $16,500 off MSRP on their remaining R500's, so I would check with them before signing up with Downtown LA Motors. As you apparently discovered, they can do single pay leases for 27 months and that is the way to go since your residual does not change when going from 24 to 27 months, and you only pay the finance charge for the additional three months instead of both finance charge and depreciation. The Simonson internet salesperson believes you are better off with the 24 month lease, but the math suggests the 27.

Fletcher is known for their non-disclosing over the phone approach. They want you there because they know it will help them to get your business.
 
10/31/2006 is the last day of the month, and they will give you a price or discount factor over the phone. Be aware that they will change their price if your credit is in a different tier than tier 1. Let them know ahead of time over the phone.
 
Since we can't mention names of salesperson in the forum, at Fletcher, ask for their internet sales manager, and he will deal especially it's the end of 10/2006.
