I would like to know the December money factor and residual for a 36 months lease with 7,500 miles per year.

Also interested in any comments from anyone who is leasing this car or considering leasing it. There seems to be very little information available since it is so new.

.00033 MF and 47% residual.

There is $7500 lease bonus cash. Mercedes' advertised leases assume a dealer discount of $3845, in addition to the lease cash.

The dealer is offering me the following:
MSRP: 43,010
Sales Price: 29,262
Drive off: 737.53
Residual: 47%
MF: .00043
36 months, 7.5K
$321.58 incl. CA tax per month
I would get a $2500 check from the state of CA and a sticker for the car pool lane.

The MF has been bumped up .00010 to .00043 which would cost me an additional $195 over the length of the lease.
If I use auto pay, I feel they should at least give me the .00033 MF.

It seems like a good deal. I'm trying to figure out if it makes practical sense for me to drive an electric car that can only go about 85 miles on a charge. It would be fine for all my city driving (Los Angeles) but I would need to rent a car for vacation road trips.

I test drove the B-Class Electric Drive and loved driving it. Trying to decide if it will work on a practical level.

Well.. that's certainly cheap enough..

As you mention, can you live with the "range anxiety"?

Did you end up leasing? Which dealer in Los Angeles? We want the same deal.

I own one and like it a lot, but I would not have bought it if it was our only car.

Could I please have the 36/12K rate and residual for the 2014 and 2015 B-Class, and any lease cash that is available? Also is the MF reduction for a MSD still .00007? This is for Florida. Thanks!

.00033 MF and 45% residual for either year.

I doubt Mercedes will let you take an MSD reduction on a subvented rate, like this one.

There is $7500 lease bonus cash on either model, but it looks like the dealer may have $4500 extra money to play with on the 2014, given the lease examples. Advertised lease payments are $120/mo. less on the 2014 model.
