There is nothing shady going on--MSRP is what residual is based on...that is why the lower your negotiated price and the higher the residual, the better the lease deal.
 
If you were to get your 36000 dollar buy out price...then your lease would jump by another 5K over 27 months plus interest.
 
Hope this explains things

cyberbro,
 
Keep in mind that the remarketing department will contact you near the end of the lease. There may be an opportunity then to buy the car at a lower negotiated price, all depends on the resale value after 27 months. It's cheaper for MB to sell it to you rather than pay to have it inspected and resell it at auction or on the dealers' lot.

Does anyone know if there is any new deal for R Class? I missed out the May deals by couple of days.

Check back on the MB website in a few days, they didn't have the May special's up until May 5th or so. The salews man called me on the 4th and told me what the specials were, he didn't have them before then.

May deal might still be available by maxxie

Thanks gkslvr for replying.
 
The sales called me today and I asked if the May deal was still available she said yes it will be available through June.
 
I was able to get a deal like this (before negotiatin with the sales): MSRP: $58,205 Invoice: $54,586 - $5,000 rebate = $49,586. 27 mo lease $546 monthly for 12k/yr. First payment $2,681.07 excluding DMV fees.
 
It's a black/black R350 with primium package, trim package, heated front seats, and 18" 10-spoke rims.
 
Most in-stock Rs around my town don't have Xenon lights except an R63. Does anyone know why?
 
I am very tempted, is it a good price?

Good deal or hold out? by mta

Hi - If I could ask, I'd like everyone's opinion on these terms.
 
Black on Black R350
MSRP - $56,115
Sell Price - $49,115
$0 down - just first payment and acquisition fee
27 Months
12K per year
$602 per month.
Residual of 72% (based upon the 12K/year vs. the 10K/year offer??)
 
1. I think the discount of $7,000 can be improved upon (average over the past month is $8,864 on this board)
 
2. I have a number here on the quote they copied for me of 285, which I assume is the money factor. I think that can be improved upon as well.
 
Separate topic, but in addition to this, I am thinking of moving my Lexus as well and going with an E Class. If I do, I should expect a higher than average discount (~$9,200??), shouldn't I?
 
In fact, my sister's husband is interested in an E class as well, if we buy 3, should get a great deal, right?
 
May be a bit convoluted and I won't even get too much into the trade in situation (I'd make more selling myself - probably $5K more -is it bad to ask them to meet me towards the middle? but not sure I want to wait through June as the lease deal may be gone on the R Class - it's no longer on the Mercedes Website. Also, have a game plan where they can meet me in the middle and the saleswoman said they would probably sell my Denali on their lot as it is nice looking and trucks are moving in this area.)
 
So, in summary - I have that deal above on the board. By itself, is it good or bad or can be improved a bit?
 
What are your thoughts on if I buy a 2nd vehicle (or bring in a 3rd buyer)? Even greater deal, right?
 
Any insight into trade-in negotiations would be helpful as I've been leasing most of my life and not sure I want to sell myself.
I hope someone has some insight if this is good/bad or can be improved upon.
 
Thank You in advance for your comments and assistance.

I wonder where all this discounting of the R class is going to take Mercedes as a brand. The lease deals on the R class are quite spectacular.
 
If MB pulls the string on these 5k rebates and everybody getting 10,000 off MSRP, things will look pretty bad for the R class down the road.
 
But if you can lease a 55k R class for not much more than a fully loaded Chrysler Pacifica, you might was well get an R class.
