#560 of 740 Re: R deal - lease extension? [bknyc] by irishrogue1 May 28, 2008 (8:26 am)
Replying to: bknyc (May 28, 2008 8:05 am) sorry, i didnt see this before i posted....do you mean they raise the monthly lease payment and reduce the residual buy out by $4500? how long is the extension? what was the monthly increase amount?

Replying to: irishrogue1 (May 28, 2008 8:26 am) i just checked my paperwork...my '06 R500 msrp was $62k. resid is 67% for a 27mo lease (10k yr). my buyout in Dec is $42k...

Replying to: irishrogue1 (May 28, 2008 8:23 am) Mine is an 06'R350. $38.5k is the residual and $34k is what MBF said I can buy the car for. To extend my lease MBF told me the payments would actually go up from $645 to $670...so that doesn't make sense either....

Replying to: bknyc (May 28, 2008 8:49 am) i agree that price is high by a few thousand. you are still at the front of the curve on Rs coming off lease. as the incentives improved later in '06, more units moved. i have to think that they are going to negotiate more by end of summer/fall as more units come off 24/27mo leases - particularly if the earlier off lease cars are still sitting on dealer lots....a quick look around and most dealers have very very few 'used 06s....if they offered $4500 off initially, why not go back and offer them $30k and see what happens...

Replying to: irishrogue1 (May 28, 2008 9:48 am) Thanks for the info...still think $30k might be too much unless of course I planned on keeping the car for the next several yrs. Best bet might be to just start over again w/ an 08' in July when my lease is up. Replies to this message: irishrogue1 (May 28, 2008 12:14 pm)

Replying to: bknyc (May 28, 2008 11:07 am) certainly if you want to get into a new car in another year or two then it probably does not make sense to buy the R at lease end at market value since the market for these is always going to be very soft. IF the R had a poor residual up front and later turned out to be a strong seller and therefore strong reseller, it would make sense to buy it.   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....
#566 of 740 R350/500 wholesale prices by irishrogue1 May 29, 2008 (12:37 pm)
Here are reported wholesale auction prices for 2006 Rs that recently sold (mileage, color and condition are noted).   I am not sure how the factory gets dealers to take off lease cars and prices them, but assuming that a dealer didnt want the car and put it to auction it would only fetch mid to high 20s....(strange that there are no reported 350s coming through the manheim auction PA).   R350's
