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.

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.

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?

Returning R500 by sussan

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?

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.

Irish,
The price hasn't changed this month as far as they are telling me. I called today and the price on my R500 is $24k plus taxes or ~ $26k out the door. Let me know if you hear anything different as my lease is up Jan 15th as well.

I inquired about an extended warranty with purchase from lease and was told to ask the dealer, that MBF does not sell warranties..
Curious that you received a 24k quote for the r500, as my r350 also i quoted at 24k...
