Car_Man,
 
What are the current lease rates and residuals for the R-Class? Any incentives currently with MBUSA?
 
Thanks

Here you go, cscowden. Mercedes-Benz Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 R350 4Matic with 15,000 miles per year are .00028 and 45%, respectively.

I think you got a fantastic deal. I'm in the process of trying to lease the very car and can't seem to get anywhere near the numbers you are showing. I'm in Florida and would like to do business at the dealer that cut you the deal if you can tell me where that is.
Thanks,

#768 of 803 2011 R350 bluetec lease by wtosh

Aug 28, 2010 (9:36 pm)

Hi, car man. I am hoping to lease a new R350 bluetec in the next week or two. I have been unable to find exactly what I want in a 2010 and may be forced to buy the new 2011. If the dealer has to place an order for the car (since they don't seem to be receiving the bluetecs yet), is it unrealistic to expect to be able to negotiate any significant discount under msrp? If I were to lease a 2010 R350 bluetec right now without everything in it that I am looking for, are the current incentives and lease rates such right now that the savings would be just tremendous, and ridiculous not to do? Please advise! Thank you!

The June MF was .00028? As in 0.67 APR?
 
I ask because I am comparing MF so that I can pull trigger on a 2010 or 2011 R350 when MBF has the best offer. I have a window of August through November and took a peak at June and July and saw your MF post of .00028.
 
Thanks for your time.

#770 of 803 Questions about my lease. Carman please help! by 4matic

Sep 01, 2010 (6:40 am)

So I just signed up for a lease today in LA and I think I got a good deal, but don't really know for sure. Car is a 2010 R350 4Matic with P1 package, MSRP of 56,985 and I got them to come down $7,115 to $49,870. $1,500 of this was from an incentive for current Audi owners, so they only came down $5,615. MF was .00028 and residual was 48% for 10K miles and 36 month term. I was surprised by the acquisition fee of $1,095, $300 over what MB has on their web site ($795). The guy at the dealer said that it was because we were in California, but I don't know and I feel like I left some $ on the table here. Also, I assume that the residual # of 48% is correct for a 36 month lease and 10K miles. Carman, can you confirm? Total cap cost including acq fee was $50,965. My monthly before tax and no additional cap cost reduction came out to $677.82 before tax.
 
I looked at a 2011 R350 and while the residual was 56% for same terms, the MF was .0028, a lot higher than what I could get for a 2010.
 
At a certain point a lease is just a math problem and the drivers of a good deal are residual, MF and dealer discount from MSRP. Carman, can I at least confirm that the residual of 48% and the acq fee are correct for this deal? What is your opinion about the discount from MSRP? Any comments welcome from the forum as well.

Hi wtosh. As you suspected, dealers are usually more willing to negotiate discounts on vehicles that they physically have on their lots than they are on ordered vehicles. Having said that, I don't think that you should settle for full MSRP either. You should be able to negotiate some sort of discount on your ordered R.
 
The residual values on the 2011 R are better than they are on the 2010 model, but Mercedes is not providing any lease support on either of them right now.
 
You would however be leaving a whopping $6,500 dealer cash on top of whatever additional dealer discount you would be able to negotiate on a leftover 2010 R on the table by ordering a brand new 2011.

Mercedes' September buy rate lease money factor for the R350 is 00165. That is equivalent to an interest rate of just under 4%.
