The leasing agent told me they've already taken $19K off the original lease reisdual value to arrive at the $26,800 buyout price. The car was fully loaded, and I think the original MSRP was over $65K.
 
Its going to be tough walking away from so many toys built into this car!

they are trying to pull one over on you.....yes they already have significantly discounted the residual quite a bit but they KNEW that they were creating situations where the residuals would be much higher than actual market values when they discounted the capitalized cost of the lease by $10-16k 2 yrs ago. dont forget that residual values are based on msrp not the discounted capitalized cost. the reality is that this model didnt sell new and is selling even worse used...we are talking depreciation from msrp of around 60% in 2 years.
 
we need to keep hitting them over the head with auction values...they have to make rational choices at some point....

I called MBF today but they would not give me the October money factors. On Saturday I'm going to a few dealerships to check prices and lease offers. I'll post what happens then.

How does the transaction take place on a buyout from MBF? by jprescott1

What's to prevent me from telling them I have 35,000 miles on the car when in fact it's only 20,000? Is there a pre- sale inspection or a mileage check? I guess what I'm asking is how to negotiate the deal by phone with MBF.

Sept/Oct Wholesale Prices for '06 R500 by irishrogue1

it looks like $25-26k for an above avg, low mileage, well optioned R500...so MBF SHOULD be quite happy to get $26-28k on a buyout regardless of what how much they have to discount your buyout.

Usually, when you buy a car, the seller has to fill out an odometer statement. My guess is there might be a fly in the ointment somewhere along the line, if you do indeed purchase the car from them.
 
But.. If I'm negotiating, and am asked for the mileage, I'd just say that it looks like I'll come in just under my allowance, without answering specifically. Maybe, they'd just assume a certain amount. Once you've agreed to a deal, then maybe no one will take notice.
 
But, I certainly wouldn't lie about it. They may be able to extrapolate an approximate amount from your service records. I'd just be coy... and see what happens, first.
 
regards,
kyfdx

Hi - would you have R350 #'s available as well? I have an 06 R350 that will be due next month and I have been watching this site for awhile. I will post what I can negotiate. Thanks

Called in today. Rate is negotiable. Sounds like it's fixed out at 90 days. I got a very reasonable buyout rate. No inspection necessary. I cut a check and it's over. $27,648 out the door includes ALL fees and tax. $25,500 is base rate at maturity. 60% depreciation over 27 mos. Ouch!!

THAT IS GREAT NEWS. $25,500 is pretty much right were the price should be based on auction values right now. when is your 27 mo lease up?

When you say rate, are you talking about the interest rate or the $ buyout? How many miles did you have on the car? What interest rate did you get?
 
Thanks.
