You're right, 5total. Manufacturers do not usually disclose the money factor that was used to arrive at an advertised lease payment in its fine print. The R-Class advertised lease that you are referring to is a pretty good deal. It is certainly a lot better than the deal that you would have been able to negotiate on this truck several weeks ago. It has been selling so poorly that Mercedes-Benz was forced to introduce a special lease program on it. This program provides a special lease money factor of .00230 and waives the first month's lease payment on any R-Class lease this month. Having said all of this, I would not be surprised if you were able to negotiate a better selling price than the one that this lease is based upon. Most manufacturer advertised lease payments leave a little meat on the bone so to speak. If you are able to negotiate a lower capitalized cost, it would lower this truck's lease payment a little bit.

Thanks. I think I will end up with this car before the end of the year, but I am going to wait as long as possible. The advertized lease only give you 10k miles. I think i would have them up it to 12k or even 15k.
I dont see any reason to be in a hurry at this point.
Thanks again

Does anyone know if the current offer on the R class will be extended beyond Nov 30 or if a better one is waiting on the sidelines? (additonal miles, etc)

I would try to work up a lease deal that suits your use of this vehicle with the dealer and see what they can come up with based on pricing discounts. Since they are slow to move and no one seems to know what MB has up it's sleeve next with moving these off the lots, I would speculate the answer to your question is yes(current deal will continue or get better).

Do you have any good advise on how to calculate a good single pay 39 month lease.
Here is what I know
R-Class
61,000
15k miles
39 months
I am asking for the money factor now. Other than that what else do I need.
I was told that the single pay would basicly covers the amount of the tax I would pay. In other words, I should just offer the dealer the payment "AMOUNT" X 39 months for the car and save the tax amount. Tax in my state is 7.5%
For this car the Dealer wants a single pay of 30,500. I think I can do better. Especailly since others have written that they were able to get their cars for 500 over invoice before a 2,000 deal incentive. That would take a car to 1,500 below invoice. The above car would then be around 56k. They seem to be motivated.
So many number, So little time. Can I get your thoughts
Thanks

Hello 5total. Mercedes-Benz Credit provides consumers who pay for their entire lease in advance with a .00110 reduction in their vehicle's money factor. MBC's current buy rate lease money factor for this truck is .00230. So, if you were to do a One Pay lease, the money factor that would be used to calculate the interest portion of your payment should be .00120.

Just an FYI.... they do reduce the money factor bu .00110 but there book tells them not to go below .00150. They missed that fine print. My money factor was .00120 and I was ask go come back into the dealer to re sign. They had to reduce the price more so that they could use the correct money factor of .00150. I really dont think they made a lot of money on this deal. I got the car for roughly 1,500 under invoice.

Looking at R350 with sticker of $58,000. What can I expect with current lease offer in effect til Jan 31st? They want almost $4000 down with payments of $599 plus tax based on $54K MSRP. With these cars not moving very fast can I do better than the advertised lease?
