DO NOT LEASE 09 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates for January 2009

Published 2009/01/19 by G

MY TAKE: Here are the remaining Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates that I don’t recommend. Clearly, you can see why. The residual values are either terrible or the money factor is sky high. Then, you have a combination of both crap residuals and crap money factors. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you why I don’t recommended the following cars. Keep in mind that these recommendations do not reflect my personal feelings towards these rides. I won’t say no to a C63 AMG or a SLK55 AMG. All I am saying is that if you plan on getting into any of these rides, buy them, don’t lease them.

09 Mercedez-Benz Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/102008/12/11 by G

My Take: You probably want to stick with the C, CLK, CLS, E (MAYBE), GL and ML classes this month. Everything else seems like it will cost you far more than you should be paying. The models previously mentioned enjoy a fairly low money factor and a decent residual value. You probably want to opt for the 12k mile leases and maybe extend the lease to 48 month. Unlike BMW, Mercedes Benz seem to lease better in the 36-month and 48-month terms. With Warranty covering up to 48 months, you should be taken cared of in case something happens to your Benzo. Now the question is, do you really want to drive the same car 4 straight years? Personally, I have leased both 36-month and 48-month leases and I find that 48 month leases just a tad “too long”. In 4 years, I tend to find way too many flaws in one car and I end up not enjoying the latter part of my lease. Of course, it if works out in the budget, 48 month isn’t too bad, just keep your miles low (lower than your contracted allowance) and you can probably end your lease in advance by trading it in, you might even get some money back.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz Models To Avoid

Published 2008/11/112008/11/11 by G

My Take: Here’s a list of the “bad” 09 Mercedes Benz leases. If you are looking to lease any of the following cars, you may want to rethink that if you are shopping for a deal. Poor residual value and/or high money factors are never a good combination, even if you manage to get the dealer to lease the car at below invoice price. There’s just way too much interest and/or too much depreciation that even cash discounts can’t overcome, so try to avoid the following cars.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz E-Class

Published 2008/09/162009/02/25 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 2008/08/142009/02/25 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.

E350 Luxury + Premium 2
MSRP $58,125
Invoice $54,118
Standard inception fees + tax not included

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!
