Replying to: hamom (Mar 31, 2008 3:24 am) Mercedes has a $795 lease acquisition fee that can either be paid upfront or rolled into your lease payments. This vehicle carries a 55% residual based on 15k annual miles and has a buy rate money factor of .00065 for the 33 month term you specified. w/o acqusition fee: $655.59 + 45.89 (tax) = $701.48/mo w/acqusition fee: $680.20 + 47.61 (tax) = $727.81/mo

Replying to: medphreak (Apr 09, 2008 12:38 pm) The numbers you posted are correct for 36mo/15k annual miles, but not for 33 mo. MBC currently utilizes the 24 mo money factor for their 33 mo terms. If you want to alter your annual mileage allowance, you need to adjust the residual. For my posted numbers, you'd need to subtract 3% for 15k and 1% for 12k. |

Thank you for your reply and the additional information. Very helpful.

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Apr 11, 2008 12:25 am) Looking for some advice. I've leased many cars before but mostly just took advantage of the best offers I saw advertised in the newspaper. I am now looking to lease an R-350 and again was looking at the current MBZ offer which is for a $45,425 msrp vehicle, $4054 out of pocket and $509 mo + tax. After reading some of the previous posts this does not seem like such a great lease (all my other leases have been 0 out of pocket on infiniti, volvo and saabs). I live in Taos, NM and we have only one MBZ dealer in the state of New Mexico in Albuquerque so it's not like there's a lot of competition from other dealers either. What would anyone suggest as being a good course of action so I get a lease I can feel good about? I'd like to keep my car payment around $550 mo. Should I go to Albuquerque and just try and negotiate them down, or would I be better off going through some non-dealer, like a broker? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. |
