Replying to: pinerivergal (Feb 06, 2009 7:35 am) I just wanted to send a quick update. No new development. No contact, and no followup from MB Financing. The dealership called, trying to sell me a new car. They haven't come back as yet with the options regarding the end-of-lease options. My biggest concern with purchasing this car would be its post-warranty maintenance, and resale value in 2-3 years. So, unless they offer some more discount off of the residual, I am preparing to walk away. Thanks, again. Will send another update soon.

Hi, I am confused on this pay off quote which is available within few minutes of my online payoff quote request submission. it came out to be 2K more than the residual value being shown which as 31K and the Quote is 33K, , it is basic model R350 07 model, think 49K MSRP when I took the lease and has 20K miles now at the end of lease Has anyone faced similar online quote. Just wonder if the year is making this different, will call them in any case tomorrow to see as I saw most of the folks getting 17K less than the residual Any thoughts.... Also do they give some grace period to return. Cheers!!

Replying to: tmblweed0429 (Mar 14, 2009 8:46 pm) They knew how much they would get for the car, when they sell it directly to a dealer or at an auction. The lease return manager at the local dealership confirmed this: $19,500 - $20,500. So, why not negotiate with me for less than $25.5k, but still a lot more than they'd get anywhere else? In comparison, the dealer offered to sell me a certified (CPO) 2007 R350, with nearly the same options as mine, and the same mileage, for $26,500. It made no sense to buy mine, and at the end, I walked away. Thanks, everyone, for their contribution on this forum.

Replying to: nm_socal (Mar 15, 2009 2:30 am) I too, am going to walk away. When I started looking at what I could get for 25-30K, I can get a CPO Infiniti or Audi that has 2 more years warranty on top of the original offered, so it doesn't make sense to me to buy my R when I will be at 39 months in June. A local Infiniti called up MBF and my payoff at 36 mos was $37K, and they were still interested in doing the deal! Seeing as I have to replace the tires at $800+, it's a no brainer to walk away. Doesn't change the fact that I've loved driving this car for 3 years. And that these boards have been invaluable. Thanks everyone, also! |

Hi kyfdx, Do you have the lease factors/residuals/cash incentives for May for the R350 and the Bluetec R320? Looking at 36 months/15k miles. Thanks!
