My Take: There is $3000 lease cash on the CLS550 this month, which is not too shabby. The MF is a pretty good at around 1.968% APR, but the residual value is a tad low. It is a decent candidate for Lease-To-Buy, but I would recommend buying it instead. You can get 2.9% APR for up to 66 months, which is not a bad option if you like the CLS and want to keep one in your driveway indefinitely.
