I agree.

My friend just leased a C300 4matic - kind of a stripped version - paying about $750 a month, 36 months, 15K year. Acquisition fee only down. MN tax 6.5% rolled back into the payments.

Lease compare pegs your situation at about $760 mo.

$700+/mo for a C Class? You can get an E Class for that kind of money...

I agree, I'd go with just first months payment and fees. Then again, the market isn't what it was recently...

Agreed. $419 a month for C300 is a rip-off. Although I haven't seen E550's for that low, you can definitely lease an E550 for high 400's and E350 for mid-high 300's.

An e550 Lease in the $400's

NFWay.

Not even if you leased it for 60 months and didn't drive it.

The base MSRP (e550 4matic sport) is $61750 and the residual after 36 months is +/- $28K. Given a 5% MF (.00212), you're @ $1230 a month/36 months when you roll-in 6.5 Tax.. Even without it you're at $1150/mo.

Likewise, base MSRP on an e350 4matic is $53K - residual is under $26K. $300's? Uh, no.

Pls post where these math-defying deals are on the e350/e550 4matics - include: MSRP/MoneyFactor/Residual/Term (36 months)/Acquistion Fee/Miles Per Year/tax included or not.

That is less than 1/2 of the payment amount that I've seen on e350 4matic sport leases (and at 36 months).

Even if one could buy an e350 4matic for $45,000 (MSRP $54K), $500 Acquisition, $4500 Down, Residual of $26,000, MF of 5% (.002), No Tax, 24 Months = $759



My fiancee needs a new ride - I need to get in on this deal. Pls tell me @ what dealer.

I agree. Why put money down on a lease? Put your money back in your pockets and make higher payments.
