September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Mercedes Benz ML-Class

Published by G

My Take: Nothing to get too excited about here. You may get discounts on the sale price, but that MF and residual effectively offset any discounts you get. Pass. May want to try Leasecompare.com to see if 3rd party bank rates are better.

My Take: The vehicle enjoying the lowest MF on this list is the R350. The rich (wo)man’s station wagon, as I like to call it. These MB’s residual value are rather low overall, so they are hardly a bargain.

My Take: My Aunt has one of these monsters. I believe it is the ML550. Why a mother of 2 college graduates living in California needs a SUV with AWD defies my logic. The rates are quite average, nothing that would make me scream “great deal”. Crappy residual values and so-so money factors usually won’t motivate many to get one of these. Add on the fact that Premium gas is getting awfully close to $5 per gallon, the MLs probably won’t be moving off the lots too quickly.
