i've been reading these deals, and it looks like there have been some pretty amazing deals on the R500. - 2006 models...
 
I would NEVER have even bothered to consider the R500...believeing it was out of my price range, but these lease deals clearly have proven me wrong. I'm seeing numbers here that basically show people doing 27 month leases, with barely over $1000 down/out of pocket, and payments under $600/month...for a car that has a $65k+ MSRP...nuts...
 
of course, I could just get an odyssey..but to get a "loaded" Odyssey...I believe the lease numbers with a comparabley LOW otu of pocket payment would probably put me in the high 400s...almost $500. so you're talking another $100-150 month to get a car that's worth double... no brainer...

...yup. i leased one for under $600mo before taxes, $1300 out of pocket which included acq fee (+ local sales tax). my mother drove it once and i called the dealer and got another identical one for her...this car is/was a no brainer with the incentives. you cant touch anything else even close to this for high 40s well equipped. would i have paid $60k+ for it?? probably not. it was only too much money becuase it isnt perfect. they missed the mark on a few things that are annoying. but i wouldnt have hesitated in the low 50s. so take it a few grand under $50k and the only regrets should be those people who didnt pull the trigger and get one OR worse those who pulled the trigger early and paid alot more......

I agree with you completely! W.I. Simonson's internet manager is a great guy to deal with and he gave you a great deal! I just hope these cars stay "sleepers" so that we can lease 2008 R500's with similar deals. The key to our lease deals was the large factory to dealer cash that "prepaid" a large portion of our residual costs.
                                                          On another note, I read a posting some time ago about someone re-negotiating their lease prior to lease end and paying only the depreciation portion as his lease payment for a one year extension. Does anyone else have any experience about renegotiating lease extensions or lease-end buyouts?

Is this a good deal or should they come down more?

What is the MSRP and what is the capitalized cost of the vehicle (i.e., what is the discounted price you are "paying" in this lease - others are reporting discounts of $4000 to $6000)?
                                                         Unless you are reasonably certain that you will only be driving 10,000 miles/year, you may want to consider increasing the mileage allowance to 12,000 miles per year. The difference in price may only be a drop in residual value of 1%, roughly $600. Over a 27 month lease, that works out to roughly 13 cents per mile (22,500 miles vs. 27,000 miles; $600/4500 miles= $.13). If you go over your allowance miles, you will pay about double or 25 cents/mile.

There were similar Mercedes incentive lease specials on 2006 R350's this past summer and fall, and virtually every dealer was beating those deals significantly (roughly $100/month less than the Mercedes national advertised rate at the time). What discount from MSRP is the current Christmas lease special based upon? Others are reporting $4000 to $6000 off MSRP. I know the MF is unbeatable (almost unbelievable) at .00085.

MB Finance Lease End Questions by brianintn

I'm new to leasing through MB finance. I would like to hear from all of you all that have leased and turned in a car at lease ent to MB Finance.
 
My questions is how tough are they on "excess wear and tear"? Is it really as simple as the credit card test. Also, from those of you that have gone through the process what am I missing that might not be covered by the CC test other than glass?
 
Any and all information is appreciated...
 
Thanks!
