November 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Mecedes Benz C, SLK, ML, GL, CLK, E and R-Class

Published by G

My Take: Despite the fact that MB’s generally don’t lease all that well, there are a few “promising” deal worth looking into. I’ve filtered out the crummy leases and listed the “better” ones below. By Mercedes Benz standards, these numbers look pretty decent, but they do fall a bit short compared to BMW, Lexus and Infiniti leases. Of course, MB fans will be quick to point out that nothing else gives you as sense of prestige than having a 3-pointed star on your hood/grill. That is true if you have a very high option of MB. I personally look at cars on a “case-by-case” scenario and my wallet pretty much dictates what I drive. Of course, if money isn’t much of an issue, I wouldn’t mind having a MB in my garage…specially the C63 AMG…*DROOL*. By the way, there shouldn’t really be any reason to pay anywhere close to MSRP for any MB right now. Invoice should be attainable in most markets, heck, I would even shoot for a few thousand under. Doesn’t hurt to ask! By the way, there is some lease cash available on the ML350, so look into that if you are shopping for that SUV.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz E-Class

Published by G

My Take: I don’t really understand why Benzos always cost so much. Its not like they are the most reliable cars on the road. Luxurious? Maybe. Looks like those who want that shiny 3-pointed star on their hood will need to pay a premium for it. MB’s 4-year lease seems most attractive, but considering tire replacements and maintenance fees, I’m not so sure lower payments offset the operational costs.

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08/09 Mercedes Benz E-Class

Published by G

My Take: 2009 Models for the E-Class are out, with lease support too (on some models)! 2008 models do no have any lease support from MB, so stay away from those. Luxury, Sport and Luxury 4matic models seem to be getting the most love from MB this month. Residuals could be better, but I think MF’s are low enough to make things interesting here.

2009 Mercedes E350 Luxury
24 Month – Residual 58% of MSRP – .00041 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 49% of MSRP – .00120 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 40% of MSRP – .00120 Base Rate

24mo Payment: $886 at invoice, $1054 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $811 at invoice, $927 at MSRP
48mo Payment: $736 at invoice, $824 at MSRP

I opted to look at the 48mo lease because I suspected that the payments would be lower. The MF stayed the same while the residual dropped only 9%, same as from 24-36 months. Looks like I was right. It might be “okay” to do so since MB does provide you with a 4yrs / 50,000 mile warranty. You might have to replace some tires during the term, but that would be offset by the upfront costs you would had to pay if you chose a shorter term and had to into another lease. The only major thing I’d be worried about are those 36k mile maintenance checkups.

Even with the reduced MF, the lease is still expensive. You are better off with the 5-series or the M35, with the edge going to the 5-series. I’m only going to analyze one trim this time since most of the rates are pretty bad, with the ones that are good falling around the same range as the one I calculated. Keep in mind that there will probably be better “purchase” incentives available for the ’08 models, so be sure to inquire about those.

My Take: This probably my favorite MB sedan. This is also MBs bread and butter from what I understand. The MF is pretty low (by MB standards) on most of the E models, with residual values a bit higher than the CL, CLK, CLS models I posted earlier. As mentioned last month, expect a new E-Class roll in for the 2009 model year. It’s looking GOOOOOD! See below!

My Take: The E-class is getting a face-lift and new upgrades for the 2009 model year. As you can see, the money factors are very attractive for the 24-month leases, specially for the E350 Sport 4matic. The residuals are not too bad, although, it really sucks when you have to pay almost 40% of the car’s value within 2 years.
