I have not seen firm numbers yet, but my dealer in Ann Arbor, MI told me the R350 leases currenlty REALLY good, while the 320CDI substantially worse. He told me a typical 350 lease is $450, compared to more like $700 for the CDI !!!

I've got MB's numbers for March. 24 months, 10k/yr: residual 65% money factor .00040. These are really good numbers but I still don't have the selling price. I read on another forum that people were getting them priced under invoice but I would like to hear a recent experience from a buyer.
Thanks,

I received today:
R350 Barolo Red,Macademia Leather
Premium 2 pkg.
18 in. wheel(all season)
cargo cover
and heated seates.
 
$56960+
$775 destination deliver
totaling$57735
 
39month 15k miles
$648+tax/mnth and $1750 due at signing(includes fist payment and fees).
 
Money factor stated as 0.00085
 
My own excel sheet lease calculator shows $738.82 without taxes (how can I add them in? Just add 6%?), using full MSRP, 52% residual, 0.00085 money factor (2.040.
 
Massaging the negotiated price (discount off MSRP) to match the $648/month w/o taxes results in an negotiated price offer of $54,310 (discount $3,425)
 
I was expecting:
$5,000 of MSRP
0.0007
52% Residual
  
I am in MI, Ann Arbor area.
 
Please comment on above.
 
What discounts off MSRP are currently out there?
What money factors have you been quoted?

R350 air suspension by vtraudt
Mar 23, 2007 (1:52 pm)
Reply
The R350's suspension is too soft (lots of leaning in turns, break dive, somewhat not-precise steering response).
 
This is further aggrevated since we here get the "L" version (or extended version)which ads space and results in a longer wheel base. The regular (European) version is not available here, but is slightly firmer.
 
To overcome this "cushy" ride (reminds me a little of the Chevy Capric boat), thankfully, Mercedes offers the air suspension.
 
Problem: I have NOT been able to locate one to drive it. My dealer (Ann Arbor) told me that it would have to be ordered, wait time 90-180 days (not nice if I had to order, but certainly impossible to wait for a test drive first).
 
Have you out there seen similar "rareness" of this option?
 
I am in MI, Lansing, Brigton, Ann Arbor, Detroit area.

I was just at Holloway Benz in Greenland NH. We were looking at the R350 with MSRP 55,000.00. The lease was 5K down and 581.38 a month for 27 months with 12K miles a year and a residual of 35,200(64% residual). The money factor was .0004. Upon leaving the dealership they had a CDI they could "promo" and drop off the 5K cap reduction.
Your deal seems insanely good. We want that one. So $12k upfront for 27 months, 12k miles/year on a $67K MSRP? Nothing else? Any information you can give would be appreciated.

I should have noted that the MSRP for the car is 53,850 but I did not get the residual but assume they are using the standard % from MB Finance.

Hi there. How is everyone getting the R500 at $12K for 27 months??? I must have contacted about a dozen dealers across the country and all of them have basically told me that I'm nuts. This would be perfect for my family, but we need this deal to stay in budget. Any pointers??? Please help!!! Thanks in advance.

I just signed a lease on a R350 before seeing this forum. I think you got a better deal than mine:
07 R350 alpine rain
P2
DVD entertainment
voice recog pkg
msrp of about $56650
got it for $51404
 
lease for 39 month, 12K miles/yr
put cap cost of $3K (with a 98 camry trade in, 100K on it) into the lease, resulting in
monthly $600 + tax ($650 total in CA)
drive off $1335 (1st month, DMV fees, tax)
acquisition fee of about $1000 rolled into cap cost.
 
so while mine has more options, I think you prob got a better deal. my residual is about 60% (around $31K)
 
what do you think?
 
by the way, does anyone think the excess wear and tear coverage ($650) is worth it?
 
thanks
