Like everyone else, MB dropped the residual and the money factor to keep things around the same ballpark the last couple of months (Feb numbers were the same as Jan). In So Cal, the C300 Sport is enjoying 10% discount off MSRP, which isn’t half bad, but I am willing to bet that come summer time, it will get better. In any case, The C300 is a very good lease if you can hit those numbers. Plus, if you opt for the 48-month term, your payments would get even lower. Of course, you gotta deal with the cost of wear-n-tear items since the lease is longer. Sometimes, MB does provide an attractive 27-month lease by taking advantage of that high residual value and reasonable money factor. Since I don’t deal with “unconventional” terms, you will need to speak to your dealer in order to get the 411 on that.
One thing to keep in mind is that my estimates are based on “base” models, therefore, the more options you add, the pricier your payments get. Generally speaking, for every $1000 borrowed, the monthly payment increases by about $30 per month.
Couple of other notable leases include: SLK (low money factor), E350 conv (lower than usual money factor), ML350 (low money factor).
The S has a low money factor too, but the residual value is far too low to make it a good deal.

The adjusted CAP cost is $65,336.35 provided you qualify for the current programs (a great deal). This offer expires 4/30/2011, hope this helps a bit
Hi,
Is the Money Factor for the 2011 Mercedes E350 coupe above accurate at .00161? I noticed that it had been at .00240 the previous month and it remains at that value for the sedan. Are these Money Factors the same for April 2011? Thanks
