#678 of 740 Re: Buyout R350 [hockey81] by not_2_shabby Dec 02, 2008 (1:47 pm)
Replying to: hockey81 (Nov 29, 2008 7:54 am) Wierd. I called on Dec 1 and they lowered my buyout by another $3000. The discount is now $13,500 bringing the buyout to $23,700 or so. I had called about a month before and my buyout was $10,500. Mine is an R350 which stickered at about $54K. How did you get $17,500 off? My mileage is about 21,500.
#679 of 740 question for stevesmer by jayrider Dec 03, 2008 (7:42 am)
Your post on the auction prices was very interesting. Is there a site that can be accessed to view auction results for all cars? thanks Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:17 am) stevesmer (Dec 06, 2008 3:55 pm)

#682 of 740 Lease buyout qoute on R500 by zorogris Dec 09, 2008 (11:14 am)
I called MBF yesterday on my 2006 R500 and was quoted a payoff of $24k + tax. I was told this was a discount of $17k off of the residual, which seems about right. This puts the price at 40% of original MSRP and that is right inline with what others are posting here. My lease isn't due until mid-January so I'll probably wait a few more weeks and see how things change. I forgot to ask if they would do an extended warranty or "certified pre-owned" on it if i decide to keep it. I normally pass on these things, but have had some minor issues along the way and plan to keep it for another 5+ years so it might be worth the piece of mind.   thanks everyone for all the information.

#683 of 740 Re: 2008 R Class money factor [irishrogue1] by watkinst Dec 18, 2008 (11:04 am)
Replying to: irishrogue1 (Oct 21, 2008 7:01 am) I've been debating the same approach. Thinking 08 Rclass CDI with between 9K-20K on the ticker lease return - offering 28K and working from there. The dealer pricing on the used one's are way out of whack given many of these 08's were sold between 8 and 10K below MSRP to start with with zero miles. Which means that all the R's listed in the 40K range with miles on them are all over priced given the MSRP ranged from 45-50ish new.

Anyone can share the experience of turning in the car? I have the car in the shop for service B which is going to cost me about $700 including flushing brake fluid and they are saying i need pads and rotors which cost me about $1400!!!!!!!!   I am totally going to get X5 instead of MB next time.
#685 of 740 Re: Lease buyout qoute on R500 [zorogris] by irishrogue1 Dec 29, 2008 (3:10 pm)
Replying to: zorogris (Dec 09, 2008 11:14 am) does anyone have an '06 R500 lease that is up in Jan? Has anyone called since Dec 9th to check on discounts? I plan to call first week in Jan...mine is up Jan 15th. I already had the lease inspection done and expect to turn it in unless the discounted buy price is close to auction values....   Also has anyone learned anything about purchasing an extended warranty at the same time as lease buy out?

#686 of 740 Returning R500 by sussan Dec 30, 2008 (12:29 am)
I am returning my R500 first week of January. Since I have been away, I totally forgot about the DMV license fee until today. I know there is a penalty for being late since my deadline was 11/4/08. I need help with a few questions.   1. Should I go ahead and pay that or let the dealer pay it and bill me for it? 2. Is it true we have 5 days after the end of the lease to returne the car? 3. Is it possible to ask for extension of a few months on my lease? Replies to this message: sussan (Dec 30, 2008 2:51 pm)

Replying to: sussan (Dec 30, 2008 12:29 am) Correction on my previous message #686.   My lease expires on 2/3/09. I talked to MB today and they offered me $28688.92 for the purchase price. For the extention on the lease they want additional $140/mo.
