#724 of 740 Re: Debating buying '06 R350. 27-mon lease ends on 3/2. MBF offered $13,388 [nm_socal] by 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!

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! Replies to this message: Car_man (May 27, 2009 3:32 am)

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.

Replying to: jayrider (May 13, 2009 6:10 am) it doesnt work that way. go back and read the posts on this thread. you have to deal with MBF directly - the dealer has no control over this process. MBF adjusts buyout prices from time to time based on inventory and auction prices. their buy out prices always seem to be a few thousand above auction. you can get a good deal but not a great deal as compared to going to auction and buying someone elses off lease car. for me it was worth the $2-3k more to get my car that I know was babied and has low mileage and the color/options i like.

Replying to: irishrogue1 (May 13, 2009 6:20 am) You get the deal price from MBF one week before the turn in. Then you can check auction prices to see where you stand.You rarely buy any car at auction price unless you are a dealer. I agree the car you owned and like is worth the extra bucks. There are cpo R350's priced at about 30k. Most are in the low to mid 30's.Of course listed prices do not necessarily reflect actual dealer selling prices in this economy. There are a lot of 07's for sale online. Don't know if that means anything re what they will sell for or how long they will sit on the lot.

Replying to: amcdad (May 05, 2009 6:18 am) Hi amcdad. I'm not kyfdx, but I do have the answer to your question.   Mercedes-Benz Financial's May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 R350 4Matic with 15,000 miles per year are .00175 and 46%, respectively.   The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 R320 are .00129 and 48%.   Mercedes is currently providing a $3,000 cash incentive on leases of the R350, but no cash on the R320.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
#732 of 740 Question about leasing R350 - please help noob! by kinng Jul 06, 2009 (8:29 pm)
Hi all,   I am considering leasing an R class with the premium 1 package and panoramic roof. I have spoken with a nice and (I think) very reasonable dealer and they are offering a discount of 13K over MSRP. The flip side is that the lease rate is 0.00425.   Bottomline, for a 56K MSRP car  - the first payment is $10K (covers taxes, acquisition everything)  - monthly payment is $580 totaling to ~$30,800 in 3 years.   Does that sound about in the ballpark of decency? I am ok with paying slightly more than the best deal on earth, just not getting ripped off.   Please help, thanks.

Replying to: kinng (Jul 06, 2009 8:29 pm) to me that is crazy high from what i am paying. my 08 has an msrp of $52.5k and all I paid was $560 at inception (included first payment, fees, etc) and I only pay $450/mo for 33 months and 12k/yr mileage and includes my 9% tax. Though my money factor is only 0.00055. i know that the residual has dropped considerably from when i leased from 62% to about 40% maybe? you have to check with the dealer with that.
