#719 of 740 Re: Debating buying '06 R350. 27-mon lease ends on 3/2. MBF offered $13,388 off [nm_socal] by benzgirl28 Feb 11, 2009 (8:49 pm)
Replying to: nm_socal (Feb 10, 2009 4:21 pm) Just a little input if you dont mind. MB has a pull ahead program taking car of up to 5 of your lease payments. Also dealers now have DEPP numbers which would give you employee pricing on a lease on a new R class i think its 449 for 39 months with 10 k per year you might look at this option if you were considering a new MB
#720 of 740 R350 payoff quote more than residual by nato Feb 16, 2009 (8:20 pm)
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!!

#722 of 740 Debating buying '06 R350. 27-mon lease ends on 3/2. MBF offered $13,388 by tmblweed0429 Mar 14, 2009 (8:46 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Feb 06, 2009 4:07 am) kyfdx, you are 100% correct. I am glad to see someone who understands what is going on out there. It amazes me that people think a company like MB Finance doesn't have a right to sell an asset for whatever price they choose. I am sure if nm_socal owned a car, he or she would feel they have a right to put whatever price they wanted on it.

Replying to: tmblweed0429 (Mar 14, 2009 8:46 pm) Greetings, everyone. I absolutely agree that being the owner of this car, MB Finance gets to set its price. My contention was from their own angle: why not make more money *AND* have a satisfied customer.   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. Replies to this message: pinerivergal (Mar 15, 2009 7:31 am)

Replying to: nm_socal (Mar 15, 2009 2:30 am) Thanks so_cal, I was wondering what you had decided.   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!

Replying to: mattkwon (May 12, 2009 6:39 am) Wait until the last week before turn in and see what the deal is then. ask your dealer to show you the auction price at that time or find a used car dealer and pay him $20 to check current prices.
