Car_man or kydfx,
The GLK350 I have on order is expected to arrive at the docks on 12/29 but won't be available for pick up at the dealer until some time in early January. I'm in California and signed a prospective purchase agreement with refundable deposit clause. My BMW lease is up on 12/30 and the Mercedes-Benz dealer said I could rent a car through Enterprise at a discounted rate while I'm waiting for the GLK.
Mercedes-Benz doesn't seem to be able to lock in any current lease programs/incentives like BMW does, so I don't know what the final lease numbers will be. The dealer said the selling price would be $1,000 below invoice.
Would you expect the GLK350 January lease programs to be much different than December?
Thanks,
Lee

Happy Holidays to you as well Lee. Mercedes-Benz Financial's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 GLK 350 4Matic with 12,000 miles per year are .00112 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
There is $2,000 Winter Event certificates out there on this truck right now.

Hey Lee. While it's difficult to say for certain, I suspect that the Winter Event certificates that are available in December will not be available in January. The lease program for this truck will likely be similar month-over-month. I suppose that it doesn't matter whether the certificates are out there or not as long as the dealer still honors the $1,000 under invoice price and doesn't mark up your money factor.

Can the Winter Event certificates be combined with their Fleet Employee Program? I am pretty sure everything carried over for January, and I have positioned myself to walk in with a deal they have accepted and put my FEP Document down on the table to lower the payment even more.

Hi all - I had an unfortunate accident and have a total loss situation for my 2011 c300. I'm trying to get into a new lease with a 2013 glk
I really care about the Premium 1 package and the Multimedia as I like the backup camera, 4wd, and heated seats. Beyond that, I could care less about the options. I want a tan interior, which is harder to find (or so they tell me)
I'm in Arlington, VA, and have been offered the following:
$475/mo
$4500 down inclusive of tax, tags and first month's payment
30 - 36 mo lease
10,000 mi / year
I have USAA and they have a $2k incentive going on now too, if that helps.
Am I getting a good deal or can I negotiate better? What is the lowest I can push them to go? One of the cars being offered has exactly the options above but with an upgraded exterior color, the other has additional options that bring it about to a 50k msrp value. Thanks!

Hi Car_man,
Do you have MBFS's Feb 2013 residual and money factor for 7500 miles/yr, 27 months on a 2WD GLK350 (SoCal)? Or anything comparable since the terms are bit strange...?
Thanks!

Thank you so much. That was the best explanation I've heard yet about leasing. I just finished asking the questions you answered here,on the Lexus RX350 forum. I was curious to see if I could find out what a mercedes glk lease would cost, since the dealership I called wouldn't even give me a ball-park figure, when i happened on your informative post. One question: why do you think leasing is a terrible deal? Thanks for your gems of wisdom.
