2010 Mercedes Benz G, GL, GLK, ML, R Lease Rates – March 2010

Published 2010/03/122010/03/12 by G

logo_benz My Take: Nothing really stands out as a “WOW” this month. Numbers have come down on some models (like the GLK350), so it may be a good time to drop by your MBZ dealer and check things out. I remember when the GLK numbers were down right insulting, now they are more civilized. The rest of the bunch aren’t too bad, just avoid the ones with 0.00200+ money factors and you’ll be in good shape.

On a different note, MBZ sales are dragging according the Dave Persaud, who recently went over to MBZ of Long Beach from LB BMW. The situation is so bad right now that switching industries isn’t out of the question. Maybe right now is the time to move in and take advantage of some of the better deals out there (I’m really digging the C-Class right now as a lease). I personally hope him (and others like him) stick around, but the auto industry as a whole is really suffering due to unemployement and the overall state of the economy.

2010 Mercedes Benz CL, CLS, R, S, SLK Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/08 by G

logo_benz My Take: My wife decided that her favorite MB is the CL. She bounced around between the CLS and the CL, but in the end, she thought the styling of the CL was more appealing to her. That’s rather strange considering she doesn’t like 2-door vehicles. LOL. Anyway, some minor changes on the lease rates here, but for the most part, the same. The CLS550 gets s drop in money factor and that’s about it. Word of advice, anything that has a 0.00200 MF or higher and low residual should be avoided.

Published 2009/11/092009/11/10 by G

logo_benz My Take: Not reall feeling the rest of the 2010 MB line up. Either the residuals are too high low or the the MF is too low high…or both. Sad to say, but feel free to skip these this month. You aren’t really missing much.

2010 Mercedes Benz ML, R Lease Rates – October 2009

Published 2009/10/15 by G

logo_benz My Take: The R-Class is a very “market-specific” vehicle, so its not for everyone. As you can see, the lease rates prove that. Personally, I’d rather get into a ML350 than the R350 since it has a better residual and better money factor. Speaking of the ML, I’m digging the ML350 4matic this month. 50% residual, .00102 is a decent combination. Not great, but decent. This is MB we’re talking about, so don’t expect to see super high residuals.

2009/2010 Mercedes Benz ML, R, CLK, SL, SLK Lease Rates – September 2009

Published 2009/09/08 by G

logo_benz My Take: I’ve picked out some of the following models as “decent” leases for the month. As usual, the leases with high residual values (.00200+) should be avoided. Those above .00100 may need some MSDs to make them a bit more affordable. Residual values for all Mercedes Benz are typically fairly low, so don’t expect any crazy-cheap leases. Don’t forget to do a little shopping for comparable models from other brands to see if its worth the extra cash to be seen in a Benz.

Here are some of the notable models you should probably look into:

ML350, ML350 4matic, R350, CLK Convertibles, SL550 and non-AMG SLKs.

I might consider doing away with “THE LIST” since there haven’t been CAN’T-MISS deals lately. The 2009 E-Class, 2009 3-series, 2009 Acura TL and 2009 C350 were probably the best all-around deals this year. Other honorable mentions are the G37, Accord and Camry. As you can see, most of the better deals occured in the 1st half of the year (which I consider the best time to lease), so you probably won’t be seeing great deals on the 2010 until sometime next year.

2010 Mercedes Benz CL, CLS, R, S Lease Rates – August 2009

Published 2009/08/132009/09/04 by G

logo_benz My Take: The remaining 2010 MY Mercedes models are nothing to sing about this month. Low residual, high money factor pretty much puts them out of the auto leasing landscape. What is notable, however, is the presence of a Hybrid in the S-Class lineup. Looks like MB has decided to join Lexus in the luxury Hybrid market. I still wouldn’t lease them though.

UPDATE: CLS models are getting $3000 cash towards a purchase this month.

09 Mercedes Benz R, S, G Lease Rates – July 2009

Published 2009/07/15 by G

logo_benz My Take: This is like my list of rejected Mercedes Benz leases for the month. Some models try (like the S550), but for the most part they don’t try hard enough. I guess you could try leasing a S550 4matic, which looks like the better option in this whole list, but why? If you have the money to be looking at a S-Class, why just buy it?

09 Mercedes Benz ML, R Lease Rates – May 2009

Published 2009/05/202009/08/21 by G

logo_benz My Take: Alright everyone, this is the last set of lease rates I have for now. I will in the Bay Area this weekend so my ability respond to your questions will be limited. I will post more rates if any of them show up between now and Friday, but until then, I hope what we currently have will hold you guys over until I return.

Before I leave for the long weekend, I want to leave you all with a few thoughts for the month of May. Mercedes Benz is having some SERIOUSLY attractive leases right now. I have been hammering about the C350 (over the C300) for about 3 months now and I will continue to do so until I see the numbers get worse. I would get a C350 myself if I could get someone to assume my lease on the G37, but is unlikely to happen any time soon. I don’t know how much longer MB Financial will keep things up, so in on it while the getting is good. Also look into the CLK since it will be discontinued; Probably due to the fact that the E-Class will also come in coupe form. The 2010 E-Class is currently being unveiled from dealership to dealership across the US. As a matter of fact, they are unveiling it tomorrow night at the Mercedes Benz of Long Beach from 5pm to 8pm. If you are in the area, stop by and check it out. I will try to make if I can find the time. If you go, be sure to chat with our Dealerplace contact, Aaron McCroskey. He’s a good guy and will answer all your questions regarding MB cars. If you in the market for a BMW and you are also in So Cal, be sure to speak with Dave Persaud, he’s a good guy too. Lastly, Michael Stewart is the guy for all Lexus shoppers in El Paso, Texas and surrounding areas. Very informative and always willing to help. Whether you email or call, I am positive they will offer you great service. I’m also working on a couple internet sales guys from Infiniti so I will keep you posted on those.

Now, as for the MLs and the R. Stick with the ML350 4WD since it has the best money factor. You could go with the ML320, but there just aren’t many of those to choose from on most lots. Always make sure you are prepared before talking to your dealer. Have a payment range in mind, a sale price in mind and inquire about all inception fees. If you come prepared, you will make it easier on the dealer as well since they don’t have to go back and forth with you.
