My Take: The E-Class Mercs are excellent candidates for “Lease To Buy”. They feature a low residual value and a low money factor, meaning most of your payments will be going towards the car, not the interest rate. If you want low upfront payments, reasonable monthly payments and an option to not buy the car at lease end, this car just might be for you. There is a whopping $6000 in dealer cash available and 0.9% financing for up to 66 months for the E350. What’s even cooler is that you can combine both of them. For leasing, there’s $4000 lease cash available from MBF (Remember that for Mercs, you want to go with the 48-month leases for the lowest possible payments) Personally, I really like the E-Class since it’s luxurious, spacious and one of the better luxury family sedans out there.
