I am looking at a R350 with a 39 month lease, 25,000 miles/year. The MSRP including delivery is $52,600. Cash due at lease signing is approximaetly $1,100 and the dealer roles the acg fee into the monthly payment. I am being quoted $925/month and not sure if this sounds like a good deal. The dealer states they are giving me $1,600 off from the MSRP and this is the best they can do. Does this sound right? I also need to decide if I should role the dice and wait until February to see what happens with residuals and money factors. Does Mercedes typically role out incentives this time of year? Any thoughts?

I don't think that $1600 off MSRP is a good deal at all, I think the best deal someone has posted was closer to 8-9k off MSRP for an 07, I think there is someone on ebay advertising $5koff. I think Mercedes is starting to have incentives as evidenced by the very low money factor, I think more will come but don't know how long they will take. I would do a little more shopping if I were you and check other dealers in your area or nearby states.

Denver dealers are giving around 5k off msrp. Got a couple of quotes in denver:
r350 with P1, heated seat, etc.
msrp ~52k
zero down, 12k, 39m, $640/month (tax included). They pick up the first month.

Has anyone purchased a vehicle from a dealer that is too far away to handle the service needs of a vehicle? I have no problem driving a few hundred miles to pick a car up, but what happens when I need service and a loaner car? Will my local dealer be receptive to working with me?

I have a 2006 R500 that I internet shopped in the L.A. area. I got a local San Diego dealer to match. I would try that first. Having said that, I have a 2005 Jaguar X-type that I bought from Jaguar of South Bay (Torrance, CA, about 100 miles from home), and I have only had the vehicle serviced locally at the only San Diego Jaguar Dealer. They have been absolutely courteous and have never even asked me why I bought elsewhere. In a nutshell, I would try to get your local dealer to match your best price. If they won't, I wouldn't worry about the local dealer not servicing your vehicle. Under warranty, the dealers get reimbursed very well by the factory by anything that needs attention. The only "discrimination" I have found is my local Benz dealer provides C280 loan cars only to customers who have bought their vehicles there. Everyone else gets an Enterprise Rent A Car - not a terrible consequence. Good luck and work the dealers!

not sure what terms are like but at holloway benz greenland nh (sister dealer in manchester nh) as of a few weeks ago had few r500s left and sales manager very eager to move.
I got lucky in sept, mine is loaded, $67k, 12k year, one pay
$12k out the door, not a nicke more for 27 months. good luck, exceptional car for the $, almost makes me feel a little dirty...

I have been trying to lease a 07 R350 with navi and dvd but so far the numbers I have been quoted are significantly higher than what I have read in prior posts (similar car but the monthly payment is several hundreds higher). Am I missing something or it is simply market driving. Any input would be approciated. Thanks.

I just signed a lease on a new 07 R350. Options include; pewter paint, PO1, front and rear heated seats. Sticker was $49,995. 39 month lease, 25,000 miles per year with a payment of $877/month. That includes 6% Michigan sales tax. That was the best deal I could find.

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure how much mileage would affect lease payment but I don't need that much miles per year so hopeful my payments can be substantially lower than your or I don't think I can afford this car. BTW, how much was the selling price? Were you able to get it below invoice? Thanks.
