Hi larciel. At lease signing you would have to pay your car's first month's payment and MB Finance's $795 acquisition fee. On top of that, you would be required to pay any state fees, such as tax, title and license. I don't know specifically how that breaks down for California.

#115 of 123 2013 CLS lease in Fl. by kkaeding

Feb 25, 2013 (10:24 am)

Please give me your opinion of a competitive lease for 3 years with 10 or 12K miles. The dealer has quoted an MSRP of 82.7K selling at 74.7K. The money factor is .00220 and the residual is 58% or 48K. My corporation will be the lessee; have never leased before and I don't know what I don't know. The quote includes a "cash cap reduction" of $3205. also provides for "capped fees of $1694 and other charges including taxes of $2480.
 
Your thoughts please. Thank you for you help.

Hi. New to this. I'm looking to lease a 2013 cls63. Trying to figure out how much I should be spending. Also trying to figure out what it would take to custom order one with the designo interior. Thank You

Previously you stated that Mercedes-Benz Finance's buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the CLS was .00160 and 59% for top credit tier. Can you update us on these figures for March for a 36 month 10k/12k mile lease? Do you know what the mark downs are for the Houston, Texas area?

Welcome isrp4l1. Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
 
Mercedes-Benz Financial's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 CLS63 with 15,000 miles per year are .00205 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. This car's money factor is not very attractive because Mercedes is not providing any lease support on this model at this time.

Sure mystic6. Yes, MB Finance's March buy rate for the 2013 CLS550 and CLS550 4Matic is still .00160 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 CLS550 with 12,000 miles per year is 57%. It's 1% higher for leases with 10,000 miles per year.
 
I don't know specifically what the market is like for this car in your area, but I can tell you that Mercedes has $3,000 "Spring Event" certificates out there on it. Try to get the dealer to use one on your deal.

Hello Car_Man,
 
Can you please provide me with the residual value and money factor for a 2013 CLS550 and 15,000 annual miles? It would be great if you can also let me know the current incentives and hold backs for this car... Thank you.

car man....can you tell me what the residual and MF is on a 24 month lease for a 2013 CLS550 4Matic with 10k, 12k and 15k miles? Thanks.

Here you go aceusmle. Mercedes-Benz Financial's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 CLS550 with 15,000 miles per year are .00160 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
When negotiating your deal on this car, try to get the dealer to use one of the $3,000 Spring Event certificates that are out there on it.

Hi mjr8. The numbers for the 4Matic version of this car would be exactly the same as the numbers that I mentioned in my previous post.
 
For a lease with 12,000 miles per year, add 2% to the residual values. For 10,000 miles per year, add 3%.
