Replying to: medphreak (Apr 09, 2008 1:38 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 1:25 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. |

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Apr 10, 2008 12:45 am) I am in the market for buying a R350 AWD 4 matic and got a quote from a MD dealer at $509/month for the 33 months  10K miles without any down payments. The MSRP of the vehicle includeing the P2 pkg, 7 seat option, ipod integration etc is $53,760. Reading at the discussion forum, as you appear to be very knowledgable on this subject, would appreiciate seeking your comments and suggestions about this deal. Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: solsat (Apr 14, 2008 7:58 am)  maybe I'll hit them up and try and get the same deal. Do you know what the residual is? And I am assuming you mean 10k miles a year?

Replying to: solsat (Apr 14, 2008 7:58 am) YOu can not lease aR350 with out any $$$ down for $509 a month Tell me where and I will lease 10 cars YOu can get 6% disocunt from MSRP and $2000 Mercedes cash. Total discount should be around $5000 from sticker. Even with that - you can not get a$509 a month WITHOUT money down. Mercedes figured very high on the residual to lease the car. After 3 yrs, one can buy this used care for 40% of the original cost
