2009 Mercedes Benz CLK, G, SL, SLK Lease Rates – October 2009

Published 2009/10/19 by G

logo_benz My Take: There are still some decent leases on leftover 2009 Mercedes Benz models, but you’ll have to be aggressive with the sale price. Take the SL550 for example. .00020 MF breaks down to about 0.48% APR, you can do a 10k mile per year lease and your residual should jump to 50%. Pretty solid if you ask me. The CLK convertibles and SLK300 and SLK350 should also be considered due to their resonable money factors. We’re nearing the end of the year, so whatever you see on the lot, is probably what you are gonna get, so if you find something you like. I recommend that you do something about it.

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.

09 Mercedes Benz G, SL Lease Rates – August 2009

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

logo_benz My Take: The last two rates I got from MB are the G (don’t lease it please) and the SL (maybe just the SL550). The financing for the SL is much more attractive than the lease if you ask me (1.9% for up to 36 months and 2.9% for up to 66 months). Although, if you want to “lease-to-buy” the SL550, that might be such a bad idea since the interest rate is only about 1.4% on the 36 and 48 month leases. Something to think about if you are in the market for the SL.

Check out the new LIST for the recommended leases of the month.

09 Mercedes Benz S, SL, SLK Lease Rates – June 2009

Published 2009/06/10 by G

logo_benz My Take: I’m not going to bother too much with the S and SLK class estimates since they aren’t really high demand vehicles. Instead, I’ll focus on a very good “Lease-to-Buy” deal right now, the SLK300. The money factor is a measly 0.0007 for up to 48 months, making it a pretty good deal if you plan to buy the car at least end. Not even the 1.9% APR for 36 months can touch that. Definitely consider leasing the SLK300 for 4 years first then buy it out.

09 Mercedes Benz S, SL Lease Rates – May 2009

Published 2009/05/202009/05/20 by G

logo_benz My Take: The only car on this list that has a nice combination of residuals and money factor is the SL550. Problem is, it isn’t THAT nice. The money factor is low, which is nice. Unfortunately, the residual is a bit lower than I would personally like. You could argue that this is a good “lease-to-buy” candidate, though.

MY TAKE: Don’t lease, buy…if you can afford it. Seriously, what CAN I SAY? These numbers are as bad as most leases financed through Ford Credit’s.

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.
