09 Mercedes Benz SLK300 – May 2009

Published 2009/05/142009/05/14 by G

logo_benz My Take: Check out the 0.00007 money factor on the SLK300. Not bad huh? Residual is kinda low, but the money factor more than makes up for it at 0.168% APR. How crazy is THAT, its practically free to borrow the money to lease this car! MB has been seriously aggressive at trying to move units recently, from the CLK, ML to the C, they all seem to be going below invoice in most metro areas with decent competition. Be sure to check out your local MB dealerships to see what they can do for you. For all you Southern California people, I am working on getting a Mercedes Benz dealer into the Dealerplace this weekend. I will more than likely pay him a visit this weekend (if he’s around) and talk cars with him. Stay tuned…

logo_benz My Take: Couple quick things…I’m going to be skipping lease payment estimates on some of the more “expensive” models because quite frankly, I don’t think most people are here for that. You can still request a quick calculation from me by leaving a comment below each post. Main reason I’m doing this is to cut back on the amount of time it takes me to make one post, which will free me up for other important things. As for the cars, the SLK’s money factor is wicked low this month. .00007! With Mercs, I don’t generally car as much about the residual value since they are usually low 50s or high 40s for the 36-month terms, so you gotta hope and pray that the money factor is ultra low. Remember, the upside to having low residual value and low money factor is that at lease end, your buyout price is fairly low. Which is good if you love the car and want to keep it. No cash is available on the SLK300 right now but 0.9% financing for up to 66 months is there for those who qualify. MB Financial is really pushing the low interest financing this month which runs an extra 6 months compared to other captive banks. Just a FYI in case you are open to financing.

09 Mercedes Benz SLK Lease Rates – March 2009

Published 2009/03/16 by G

logo_benz My Take: Wow, look at the money factor on the SLK300. They might as well make it .00001 or something because that’s 0.16% APR right there. I think that’s a great candidate for “leasing to buy” right now since there is very little interest. Most of your payment will be going towards depreciation and tax, that’s about it. There is also the current 0.9% for 66 months promo going on with most Mercs this month so you can always take advantage of that if you are looking to buy the car. If you are able to make a large payment at the end of a lease to buy out the car, you may want to just lease it for 4 years, save up and do a massive payoff at lease end. That’s also another alternative to save some cash in these uncertain times. Remember to read all the articles in the “Leasing 101” section if you are new to leasing. A wealth of info at your finger tips!

09 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates for January 2009

Published 2009/01/16 by G

My Take: I thought I’d share a funny little thing I noticed while looking over the prices of the C300 Sport sedan. The 2008 C300 Sport’s base price starts at $31,600 while the 2009 C300 Sport’s base price starts at $32,900. From what I understand, nothing’s changed between the two model years, at least, nothing immediately noticeable. It just fascinates me how manufacturers keep bumping up the price tag every year (and I’m not even counting destination fees here). At this rate, the C-Class will cost about $40k base price by 2015. So much for “entry-level” luxury sedan. LOL. Anyway, the rates look slightly better than December 2008 thanks to a lower money factor and only a small 2% drop on residual. As for the rest of the Mercs, I’m very surprised to see the GL, ML, R and SLKs showing decent lease rates in January. Heck, I’m surprised to see any lease support at all coming from these guys.

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.

My Take: Despite the fact that MB’s generally don’t lease all that well, there are a few “promising” deal worth looking into. I’ve filtered out the crummy leases and listed the “better” ones below. By Mercedes Benz standards, these numbers look pretty decent, but they do fall a bit short compared to BMW, Lexus and Infiniti leases. Of course, MB fans will be quick to point out that nothing else gives you as sense of prestige than having a 3-pointed star on your hood/grill. That is true if you have a very high option of MB. I personally look at cars on a “case-by-case” scenario and my wallet pretty much dictates what I drive. Of course, if money isn’t much of an issue, I wouldn’t mind having a MB in my garage…specially the C63 AMG…*DROOL*. By the way, there shouldn’t really be any reason to pay anywhere close to MSRP for any MB right now. Invoice should be attainable in most markets, heck, I would even shoot for a few thousand under. Doesn’t hurt to ask! By the way, there is some lease cash available on the ML350, so look into that if you are shopping for that SUV.

October 2008 Lease Rates for All 09 Mercedes Benz Models

Published 2008/10/062008/10/06 by G

My Take: Slim pickings here for Mercedes-Benz. Of the entire line up, the following four rides seem to have resonable money factors and residual values (actually, all C300s have the same rates, so you can go with either the sport, sport 4matic, lux or lux 4matic). You should be able to get a pretty nice discount on these rides though, so that should make up for it. Invoice or less is what I would personally shoot for. Keep in mind that a 48-month lease may yield lower monthly payments, so that is always an option. Remember, in our current economic environment, they need you more than you need them. Don’t forget to check out THE LIST for this month’s payment rankings.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz SLK-Class

Published 2008/09/182009/02/25 by G

My Take: The SLK is not terribly expensive for a $45k car (at base price). Compared to the 09 Audi A5, it is certainly cheaper. You can probably dip a bit below invoice considering the current economic situation. Drop the mileage to 10k or 12k and you will easily drop below $600 per month with your standard inception fees.
