2014 CLS550.

.00178 MF and a residual of 55% for 36mo/15K... add 2% for 12K/yr

2013 CLS550

.00225 MF and a residual of 50% for 39mo/15K... (note.. 39 month is the lease special... there may be some big dealer incentive cash on that one)

Wanting to lease the new CLS63. Dealer is saying .0026 is money factor for top credit customers. Dealer says everything is list price and only offering $1000 off cap reduction. List with extras $113,590. Residual of $59,066. $3,462 cash down (includes 1st mo., plates & Registration). $1,962 lease fee per month includes sales tax. This money factor and essentially nothing off list seems very high. Please advise what I should expect. Is the scarcity value of these new CLS63's really so high?

Hi, I am looking for 36mo 10k/yr lease rates and residuals on 2014 CLS63P. MSRP $116,900 with $5,000 cap cost reduction mutually agreed upon (after some haggling). Was told top credit tier money factory .00260 which seems quite high to me. Thank you.

kyfdx

2014 CLS63P 36mo, 10K/yr lease
Standard money factor and 57% residual

The standard money factor is probably in the .0020-.0022 range, and the dealer is probably marking it up for extra profit...

regards,
kyfdx

My power ball numbers didn't hit tonight, so I'm not yet in the market for a CLS. Can't help you with a target cap cost, but you can use the shopping links at the top of the page for assistance.

.00133 MF and 66%/65% residual.

The special on this model for June is the 39 month term. .00133 MF and 56% for 39mo, 10K/yr. That's only 10% more depreciation for an extra 15 months of lease.

What lease term?

I can't help you with pricing, as you are looking for a car that has limited availability. You can use the pricing tools at the top of the page to help you.

MF is .00131.

MB does not offer 39 month residuals; 36/12 is 55%, while 42/12 residual is 50%.

Negotiate your best selling price, then use that number, the MSRP and the numbers I've provided above in a lease calculator (many of them available on the web) to model your payment.

pmw801

So I guess negotiate with 36 month not 39 month since I don't know what those numbers are?

Michaell

@pmw801 said:

Correct ... 36 month is the sweet spot for MB leases.

pmw801

Ok thanks

pmw801

So they told me MF .001211, residual 55% and sale price $75,000. Is this good?

Michaell

@pmw801 said:

Residual is fixed by MBFS and cannot be altered. MF seems good.

Cannot comment on the strength of the offered price - I've never been in the market for a luxury sedan.

Got another quote from different dealer. $2000 down at $929/month. He said they're selling the car at $74,000. Msrp is $84,840. Good deal?

I get $917.46 pre-tax. How much of the $2000 is cap cost reduction?

pmw801

What is cap cost reduction?

pmw801

They said all taxes are included in the $929/month

pmw801

Oh I see now, we'll that covers registration title and other fees. I guess I can ask how much registration, title etc fees are then subtract from 2000, them that would be the cap reduction from $74000 correct?

pmw801

Ok so here's what I'm calculating: MSRP $84,840 × .55= 46,662 which is residual value. Negotiated price of $75,000. $75,000-46,662= $27,338. $27,338 ÷ 39 months = $700.97. $74,000 + 46,662 = $121,662 x .00131 = $158.06. $700.97 + 158.06 = $859.03 × .07 NJ sales tax = $60.13. 859.03 + 60.13 = 919.16 monthly payment. Is this correct?

Sorry I calculated at 74,000 Negotiated price. Was a typo there

Is this correct?

I'm showing the depreciation amount as $28,338, not $27,338 (you're probably using the $74K cap cost). Also, isn't the lease for 36 months, not 39?

With those differences, I'm getting $787.17 for the depreciation part of the payment,and $159.38 for the rent charge, for a total of $946.54/mo, pre-tax.

NJ doesn't tax the payment each month; rather, they calculate the taxes for the entire lease up front. You can either pay it at lease inception or it can be added into the cap cost. I think that is what is causing the difference with the dealer quote.

pmw801

How do u calculate the rent charge, my number doesn't match yours.

Michaell

@pmw801 said:

Monthly rent charge is the cap cost plus the residual value, multiplied by the money factor decimal.

pmw801

I did that but numbers didn't match. Can u post how u got the $159.38 please

Michaell

@pmw801 said:

(75,000+46,662)*.00131 = 159.38

Your post was using $74,000 as the cap cost, not $75,000.
