24 months/24k miles

I don't think it was that great of a deal but I did it anyway. I leased it as a gift for my father and did not have too much time to shop around.
Just got this deal on a 2013 E350 4-matic for a friend. MSRP is $59,195 (P1, Sport and Wheel package) The company he works for is on the Mercedes Benz Fleet list with about 12,000 other companies! Its seems everyone is one there from McDonald's to IBM . The final selling price was $49,928 after the $2,500 MBF incentive. Total out of pocket is $731 (just first month and DMV) with a monthly payment of $504.45. The details are below -

Also I noticed that some folks on this thread are posting 24 month leases...is this still correct or for Oct has this moved to 30 month leases now?
Thanks so much
Markemarkee
Can you provide the money factor of your deal?
How do you negotiate with dealer with huge MSRP off?
Thank you very much!
Thanks in advance.
I am looking to lease a 2013 E350 Sedan with the sport package. Can you please let me know what the 24, 30 and 36 month residuals and money factors are for 12k miles per year? Also, is there any conquest cash being offered on the vehicle? Can conquest cash be used in conjunction with the USAA discount of $2500?
Thank you in advance for your help. Looking to lease before the end of the month.
You can lease this car for 24, 30 or 36 months. The money factors for all three terms would be the same. The residual values would be different though.

The numbers for an otherwise identical 30-month lease are .00121 / 65%. The 36-month numbers are .00121 / 60%.
I don't know the specific program rules, but I suspect that there is a good chance that the $2,000 conquest cash that is currently available on this model cannot be combined with the USAA offer.

Do you have the same info for 2012 models? 24, 30, 36 month lease rates and residuals for 10K miles? Wondering if I can score a better deal there.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 30-month lease are .00127 / 61%. The 36-month numbers are .00127 / 52%.

Would 4matic rates be identical? Also, is there still a $4000 dealer incentive on these cars? I know there was something like that back in May. I found a 2012 I want to make a move on, but it's 4matic, so I want to have all my ducks in a row before heading to the dealership. I want to do the following:
2012 E350 Sedan Sport 4matic
24 months/10K year
I qualify for the loyalty discount, which puts me at $2K below invoice currently. I want to know how much additional I can get below that. I'm hoping MB is offering dealer incentives of about $4K-$5K on this car. Please confirm if possible. Thank you so much for your help with this. This info should facilitate a purchase this weekend.
MSRP 61,425
Sell price 55,195
36 mos.
15k mi./year
$690 (inc. tax)
maintenance included
$2K down
Money factor 0.001210
Residual $35,626
My only other comment is that the headlights in the P2 package are worth the upgrade price...but of course that's personal/financial decision.
Thanks

Can you tell me the 36 or 39 month residual and money factor on an E350 wagan with 15,000 miles per year? Are there any incentives on this car? conquest cash? Much thanks.
I am in the Dallas TX area and about to pull the trigger on a 2013 Mercedes E350 Sedan.
I feel as though there is another $2000.00 or so the dealership can take off from the sticker.
I am being told this is their bottom line, they won't go any lower. Can you take a look at my deal and tell me your thoughts? BTW, thank you for all your help in these forums. You are the man!
MSRP is $56,555
Sale Price is $52,240
I am getting a $1500 conquest discount because I have an Infiniti. This $1500 is included in their discount.
So the dealership is really only discounting the car by $2815.00
24 month lease
Payment is $586.66 per month
10k per year ( I wanted 12k, they are saying we are way off with cost)
Total Uprfront Down is $2632.00
Texas makes you pay the sales tax of 6.25% on the price of car, not payment.
They have Tax Credits right now covering 4.75% of the tax.
Total down cash including the 1.5% sales tax remainder and aquistion fees and doc fees is:
$2632.00
Residual is 72%
Money Factor is .00120
Is this a good deal? Is the money factor right?
I am seeing others online getting $8-$9k off MSRP. The dealerships here in Dallas are saying this is just not possible. I feel as though there is more room to haggle....
Thank you!
I too am in the Frisco area of DFW and about to execute on a deal very soon. Are you at liberty to tell us what dealer / sales person and more about the tax credit that is making your tax rate only 1.5% instead of the 6.25% in TX?
Thanks

I would like to connect with you offline to discuss. I am on mbworld.org with the same handle. Want to PM me on there?
Thanks

I live in the Allen area. I am also looking at a lease for the E350. My last two leases have been a BMW 5 series, but I am looking for a change. I have leased 5 different cars now and have always received full tax credits, is this something MB dealers just won't do? I also was thinking the dealer had at least $2,000 more to work with. I don't believe in putting money down on a lease other than the first month payment. Could you share your dealer or your final deal. Thanks.
I am in my busy season, but close to pulling the trigger...just waiting for month end(s) when negotiation is most favorable. I cannot speak for MB tax credits, but i have done them too on other leases for other manufacturers. (this might be a Texas thing only, maybe other posters here can clarify?)
If you want to ping me, please do so via PM on mbworld, we can collaborate offline...on things like price, etc.
Since I have learned so much from this forum, i want to pay it forward by sharing my experience from my deal when it is compete.
Thanks
Markemarkee
can you help me get a ballpark idea as to what will be good lease amount, plus initial deposit. I talked to a dealer, he keeps saying this is all they can do. I think residual value is about 35K.
Is it possible to get a 36 months lease.
I am looking at both Jaguar XF's and E350's. For the E350, would you please provide me with the following rates for November?
2012 E350 Sedan (not AWD) - 24, 30 and 36 month leases at 10K miles/year
2013 E350 Sedan (not AWD) - 24, 30 and 36 month leases at 10K miles/year
Also, would you be able to share any rebates/incentives being offered for both model years? Conquest cash, dealer cash, etc?
I am hoping that Mercedes is getting aggressive with lease rate for the holiday season since I've heard BMW will be.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The money factors for 30- and 36-month leases of this car are the same, but the residual values would be 66% and 61%.
The numbers for the 2012 model are .00127 / 69%, .00127 / 61% and .00127 / 52%.
Mercedes-Benz is running its "Winter Event" right now, featuring $4,000 dealer cash on 2013 E Sedans.
The 2012 model has $2,250 Customer Advocacy certificates out there.

How does a USAA discount further reduce the cost of the vehicle? Does the Mercedes dealer get any incentives to honor those??
Can you please tell us the MF & residuals for 12K & 15K miles for the same terms as above for the 2013 e-class sedan?
Many thanks..Markemarke.
Very helpful. Do you know if Mercedes is offering Conquest Cash this month? I'm currently a BMW owner, so it would apply to me if they are. If so, how much are they offering and can it be combined with the $4000 dealer cash?
Thank you so much for your help.

You helped me before and hopefully now too. Can you tell me the November top tier money factor and 24 month/12K miles/yr residual on a 2013 E class bluetec diesel.
Thanks,
Chalkie 1
My credit is top tier and i need to lease E350 2013 ,,for two to 3 years
Anyone can tell me how much i should pay down and per month ? Just keep it simple
I am looking for 10k per year mileage
Thanks
I am getting a 36/36K quote from a dealer for a $53000 car and cant understand why the payment is 823 a month for zero down.
My math tells me at 6.25% tax it should be not more than 720 a month.
Regards,
I'm not CarMan or killerrides but I can explain the TX 4.75% tax credit. In Texas, the lessor is responsible for sales tax payments. Some, if not all, TX dealerships can offer, at their discretion, a TX sales tax credit of 4.75%. This means that customers would effectively pay 1.50% sales tax levied on the selling price of the car instead of paying the normal TX sales tax rate of 6.25%. So, if the selling price is $53,000, then you would only pay $795.00 (1.5% x $53,000) instead of $3,312.50 (6.25% x $53,000).
For more information, you might want to call the TX Department of Motor Vehicles at (800) 252-1382.
Hope this helps.

This is what i have been offered - E350+P1+18"+some little fluff : MSRP 58500, capcost 50300
For 24M/24K residual 40585, mf:.00151
What do you think?
I havent spoken to the MB Finance guy yet to see if he will reduce mf further for advance payments or something like that.
Thanks!
buy price : 50350
residual : 40835
taxes upfront at 6.25%
all doc and origination fees : 1300 ( can this be negotiated with mbfinance?)
24kmiles/24 month
upfront cash+first month: 1300
700 bucks per month = for 23 months?
I would appreciate some advice before I pull the trigger monday.
hints:
1) once you have a lease calculated, add mercedes (not an aftermarket) basic maintenance to the lease. You may find a dealer who residualizes it which is a deal. Example...if the package list price is $1500 and the residual on the car is 50% at the end of the lease, then the maintenance package will only have cost you $750. I did it, many others have as well.
2) ask about multiple security deposits to see if using them will reduce your money factor (just use those words). If there is no promotional rate, then using multiple security deposits will significantly reduce your payments and cost. You can read about them earlier in this forum...search.
3) compare different lease lengths...24 mos, 36 mos and then see if there is an option in between. To compare the leases, don't look at the monthly payment......instead, add up all the checks you will write and divide by the number of months of the lease. You may find that a lower monthly payment actually costs you more.
4) check for incentives...in the past mercedes has given "conquest" money if you drive another car; there is mercedes finance loyalty money; check costco, if you belong; USAA has a discount program as well. You should qualify for some $'s over the dealer's discount.

The numbers for otherwise identical 30- and 36-month leases are .00121 / 63% and .00121 / 58%.
If you were to lease this car with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual values would be 2% higher.

The last time I looked into its multiple security deposit program, MB Finance provided a .00007 reduction for every additional deposit.
I don't think that there's any conquest cash on the 2013 E-Class this month, but there is $4,000 Winter Event dealer cash certificates floating around out there.
