My Take: Great money factors on the SLK right now. Residuals are slightly below “ideal”, but I’ve seen worse. There’s a “lease special” going on now for 36-month and 48-month leases. This involves $4,000 Lease Finance Cash and dealer contributions of $1,568.32 and $1,721.82, respectively. Edmund’s TMV way off on this one, so ignore it. I think you can potentially lease a well-equipped SLK300 for under $500 (after taxes) for 48 months with around $1500-$2000 due at signing if you factor in all the discounts.
