My Take: I’m super lazy, I know, but there’s a lot of rates floating around so I had to post all CL, CLK, CLS Benzo’s together. Granted, I do know the CLS is completely different, still. I’m trying to save myself the hassle of posting multiple times. In any case, the CLKs seem to be having very good rates (by MB standards). Again, the residuals are best on the 24mo lease of the CLK, which isn’t really all that great if you look closely. Ideally, you want a sub .00100 money factor and a high-50% to low-60% residual value so that your payments can stay low. These are Mercedes Benz though, so by low payments, I mean 600+ a month. That’s rent for some folks in the United States.
