UPDATE: PURCHASE CASH for MLs is $3000. My Take: B and I were discussion how MB comes up with their lease rates yesterday. The conclusion? We have no idea. Just look how the ML350 24-month money factor, how arbitrary is that? Since when did MB start making 24-lease rates looks semi-attractive? I’ve always pegged them as more of a 36,39,48 month lease type of car. Anyway, the residual values still stink on the 24-month terms anyway, so it’s not like it really matters. Overall, 2010 MLs are not recommended unless you plan to buy them. MBFS 3.9% financing is available for up to 66 months and 2.9% financing for 66 months on the 2009 model.
Check out the new LIST for the recommended leases of the month.
