Anyone have any suggestions for finding this vehicle, I am ready to lease this immediately if properly equipped: Must haves are P2 package with Front and rear panorama sunroof, Rear Entertainment package(DVD) heated seats. Nav system is nice but not required. Preferred exterior colors are Desert Silver, Pwter, Barolo Red, Interior: Macadamia/Leather with Walnut wood trim Did new/revised lease rates/promotions for July get announced this week? Should the R320 lease for the same as the R350 assuming the exact options?? Thanks, Ready to Lease!!!!! |

Replying to: bigcat007 (Jul 09, 2007 12:49 pm) Can you please post the lease infos for July for the new 2008 R320 CDI. Also, can you give the invoice on that car for the base model, no options (I just want the 7th seat and my dealer called that I can go test drive one next week, so I need the invoice on it fast). I could only find the MSRP listed on the MB web site so far. I guess these babies are too fresh from the oven so no infos available on Edmunds yet. Thanks

Looking to lease either an ML or R 350 depending on which vehicle has the best deal. I should be Tier 1 Credit. Could someone please give me some ideas of Residual % and MF. Lease would be either 33-36-or 39 months with 15,000 miles/year. Thanks

Hi A dealer has given me an estimate on an R350 but said that the car is coming from a new jersey dealership. I live in new york. Is there any issue here in terms of emissions etc? do i have to lease from a new york dealer or can i shop anywhere in the tri-state area? |

First let me say thank you to all of the hosts and readers/contributors - this forum/board is a great source of information for so many things automotive!! Now my Question - We leased a 2006 Mercedes R500 at the end of the 2006 model year when factory and dealer incentives were almost too good to be true and R sales were in the toilet. We drove off with an R sporting a $62k+ MSRP for 27 months (leased) at $508 per month, nothing down other than 1st month payment and MB bank fee. $16k+ in cap cost reductions all came from MB USA and the dealer. While the cap cost along with a decent MF and residual yielded a great monthly payment, the cap cost and likely unrealistic residual are going to kill me at lease end. The 67% residual gives a lease buy out of $42k (for those who dont know it is based on MSRP NOT capitalized cost). Given the revised pricing of the R in 2007 and overall poor sales, there is no way this thing will be selling for $42k in 27 months - right now 2006 R500s are selling for high 40s after less than 12 months!! I already know that I want to keep my R at the end of the lease - So my question is does MB USA negotiate lease end buy outs? I know some manufacturers like Honda maintain a "no negotiation" policy. Also since $10k of the cap cost reduction came from MB USA is there any argument that it should have reduced or did reduce the MSRP for purposes of calculating the residual? Assuming MB negotiates, is it fair at the time to see what dealers are selling similar used cars for and shoot for a value a few thousand less than dealer asking price recognizing that it costs money to go over/prep/clean an off lease car, warranty it, build in dealer profit and carrying cost?? Realistically, this car is likely to be worth somewhere in the mid to high $30s at the end of the 27 month lease with 30k miles. I found one post in the MB "S" class section where MBFC offered the lessee a buy out price that was $9k less than the stated lease buy out (due in large part to a complete redesign of the S Class). thanks for input! |
