Replying to: bknyc (May 28, 2008 3:24 am) Anyone worked out a lease extension? I've heard it's possible with MBFin, but the dealers will tell you it's not since they want to sell you into a new car. Love to know any details or strategies!

Replying to: bknyc (May 28, 2008 3:24 am) they want $34k for your '06 R500? what was the orig sticker? what is your stated lease buy out ( im thinking it is $34k...)? Are you getting out early or is your lease up? that price looks to be close to retail for an '06 R500 from dealers looking to move those cars off the lot. with a sagging economy, i suspect that prices will be headed towards $25-28k by mid summer. I dont think that $34k for a 2 yr old R500 is a bad price...it likely stickered for $58-64k 2 years ago. with all the cash off towards the end of '06, you could have purchased it for $45 - 48k. perhaps try calling MB and inquire about extending your lease by 3 -6 months. see what monthly payment they offer and what it does to the residual buy out. i really do not think that any dealers want these used Rs on their lot right now and MB must know that.

Replying to: bknyc (May 28, 2008 11:07 am) this probably doesnt work for you given the stable of new MBs you have....but to put the R350 in a different light...at $30k would you rather own a 2yr old R350 with 24k miles or a new chrysler pacifica? with pretty decent reliability so far, i would take the R in a heartbeat... i would buy my '06 R500 for $32-34k right now. and i expect to buy it in the late fall at lease end hopefully for high 20s.... |
