Anyone attempted to continue their lease or renegotiate payments based on residuals?
 
What are some of the "typical" offers on the '08 and '09 R350's? My lease is due Nov 18th. Wouldn't mind holding on to the car, but also would obv roll into a new one if the deal is good. Current lease payment on 06 R350 P1 pkg is $595/mo incl tax (PA) 10k annual miles (slightly over there).
 
Any recent experience?

As a comparison to using auction results to negotiate lease buyouts, I just bought an 08 R350 4M from a NJ auction. It was a MB executive lease return. It has only 3,800 miles, P2 package, no panoramic roof, showroom condition, and paid $31, 250. Good deal?

i would say yes. ill get updated auction #s on '06s this week and post them. that price would put clean low mileage '06 350s in the mid to high 20s...

I went there with the intention of purchasing a low mileage 06, and from what I remember,they were going from $19K-$23K with miles ranging from 30K to 16K respectively. It was a good day for buyers generally.

2008 R Class money factor by mjf415

A dealer today in CT told me the interest rates to lease an '08 R350s was 9% while the rates on an '09 are ~ 4.5%. I'm looking for an '08 and the associated $9,000 dealer incentives but if the interest rates through Mercedes Benz really are that high I may reevaluate. Can anyone confirm this info? By the way, my R500 is coming off lease next month and they quoted me a buyout of $28,100 with 22,000 miles. If I extend the lease for another year they want to RAISE my payment from a little over $600 to $697. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Mfj415, my R500 is comming off lease soon. Residual is $40k. Did you get your buyout quote from the dealer of MB finance? I would pay $30K for mine. 20k miles, NAV MSRP was 63k(we had cap cost of $48k). I don't know best rout. JUST baught my 06' A8L from dealer and Audi finance would not budge! This was before market crash though.

you have to directly to MBF. not the dealer. it is funny that lease extensions always seem to be a rip off... i never understood that.
 
for whatever reson i thought that my lease was up next month...it is actually not up ti mid Jan.
 
I have a 42k buyout (27mo lease) based on a 63k msrp.
 
i hope to have updated auction #s to post tomorrow so you all can call and know exactly what they are selling for.... shooting for a buyout a grand or two over auction prices seems reasonable...

irishrogue1 you are right where I am. Mid Jan off 27 months. So if I call MBF will they negotiate over the phone or do they stick to buyout? Advice on how to play this game would be appreciated.

i m new to this as well....there is "evidence" on this board that MBF has been knocking $10-12k off buyouts on the R to get pricing closer to wholesale numbers. As best I can tell the negotiated #s still seem to be $3-8k over wholesale #s. I think the goal is to shoot for a negotiated buyout that is maybe $1-2k over the highest above avg auction price for such model....i do not understand why MBF would settle for $22k for a car at auction rather than negotiate down from $42k and try to make a few thousand once they realize that they arent going to make $20k when you walk away....
