Do you have recent MF examples for 2016 E class wagon for a 36/15k lease? Do you have accurate lease rates for discount on a single pay lease? Please also provide residual value for the wagon. Thank you.

Standard MF and 58% residual. (standard Mercedes MF is around .00200).

In the past, the money factor reduction for single-pay leases has been .00080-.00100. No current information, though.

Hey Michael,

What's the MF for 2016 E350 rwd? and based on the MF and residual, can you give me rough estimates of what a payment would look like for a MSRP of $58k sale price of $48k, 24/12 and 24/15? Looking to only down drive off (less than $1000). I'm in N. CA.

Thanks!

.00080 MF and 65% residual for 24/15, 67% for 24/12.

Adding the $795 acq.fee to the CAP cost, $532/mo. or $484/mo. + tax..

That's a great payment, but do you think you can get $10K off on a new 2016?

Thanks for the response! I believe so - they told me they would do 9-10k off depending on options. just quoted me $550/mo (CA tax included) with no money down. Sound like a good deal for 24/12?

What happens if I one-pay the lease and then do the pull-ahead into another car (i.e 6 six payments). Does mercedes send me a check back for the balance since i didnt use it?

Hey Michael - if the MSRP on this car was 54k and assuming purchase price of 45k with the same parameters. How much does that lower the monthly payment?

For a 24 month lease, every $1000 affects the payment about $42.

OTD if your car was selling for 45k with acq fee @ 67% residual 24/12k with .00080 MF it should be coming out to $456.44 with 9% CA sales tax.

perfect! thanks for checking!

I have two extremely competitive leases on the table. Both of them are one-pay and both dealers are in the same areas.

I just need help choosing one over the other!

Deal 1:

MSRP $60,700

Steel Gray Metallic
Premium 1 Pkg
KEYLESS-GO
Lane Tracking Pkg

One-pay $13,300 24m/12k
No services included

Deal 2:

MSRP $61,155

Steel Gray Metallic
Premium 1 Pkg
KEYLESS-GO
Illuminated Star
Wheel Locks
Come Box
Rear spoiler

One-pay $13,600 24m/10k
A & B services INCLUDED!

Note the mileage difference between the leases...

Would you go for Deal 1 or Deal 2?

Deal 2, if you bump it up to 12K/yr, is going to add $1230 to your single payment. So, the deals are about $1500 apart. Given that, I'd go for deal 1... and ask them how much to add the service plan.

Because, I'm not driving an E-Class with a rear spoiler..

Hello all. Checking to see if I can a quote on two different E coupes; E400 and E550. From what I understand, the RV is not as high of a % on the 550 so the lease payments are significantly higher?

Louisiana - Taxed on payments only at a 9% rate in my area.

36/10k

E550
MSRP $68800
Selling $65800
$$ Down $10k
Acq Fee $795

E400
MSRP $66540
Selling $63040
$$ Down $10k
Acq Fee $795

Thanks!

36/10 numbers
E400C - 60% and .00109
E550C - 56% and standard MF (.00180-.00220)

We don't recommend making a down payment on a lease; if the car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.

MF and Residual for 36/12 2016 E350 4MATIC Sedan and E400 Coupe Please? I assume it is better to lease a 2015, but are there any special programson the '15's? I am a USAA member. Thanks.

E350: .00077 MF and 58% residual
E400: .00111 MF and 59% residual

There are 27 month specials on the E350 sedan for 2015, but nothing on the 2016 models

halblatt

What are the 27 month specials?  Thanks again. 

kyfdx

halblatt said:

.00033 MF and 64% residual for 27 mo, 12K/yr

halblatt

Is there a similar special on the E400 Coupe?

Michaell

halblatt said:

No, only the E350 sedan has the 27 month special.

phantomcypher

Has Edmunds or the moderators ever thought of just building table or Excel that has the month's MF, Residual, term & miles? I think it would simplify a ton of things and make the site the definitive source on the info.

blueherron

Howdy,

Would it be possible to get he following info for August:

15k Residual and Money Factor for a 2015 & 2016 E400 4matic Sedan in 24 and 36 months, and and if there are any special leases like 27 month? I plan on leasing for 7,500 miles.

For the 16 E350 4matic Sedan, is 56% 15k (60% for 7,500) miles and .00077 correct for 36 months? Could you confirm the 24 or 27 month Residual and MF as well? Looks like 69% 7,500 mi. and .00077 for 24 mo.

Big Thanks!

2015 E400:
Standard MF (.00180-.00220) and 60% for 24/15 or 58% for 36/15.

2016 E400:
Standard MF (.00180-.00220) and 63% for 24/15 or 59% for 36/15

2016 E350:
.00077 MF and 65% for 24/15 and 56% for 36/15

Add 4% for 7500 miles per year

The only E-class with a 27 month program is the 2015 E350

Thank you very much for your help!

looking at a 2016 E350 Sport 4matic MSRP $65630 Sale price $58404 36month 10k mileage with aqu fee (795.00) and title and taxes (NJ) does $655.00 per month seem to be a reasonable fee?

.00077 and 59%. Using your MSRP and sale price, I get a payment of $621.52/mo. Are you paying the fees and taxes up front or rolling them into the lease?

flann2

Fees are to be paid up front, I believe the sales taxes are rolled into the lease.

Is 0.00077 and 59% the current rates from MB financial?

Hi. I'm looking to lease a 2016 E400 coupe RWD and got the following quote.  Im in Texas btw.

MSRP 67475 
Agreed price 60476
Original Sales Tax was 3919.69 (but he said he used a VIN on a returned lease car and knocked it down to 2256.60. Is this legal?)
Tax/Registration 57.75
Title 33.00
State inspection 23.75
Documentation 125
Road and Bridge?  11.50
Final price 62,983.60
36mo at 12000 miles

$922 a month - $1500 due at signing, which includes 1st month payment and lease acquisition fee.

What do you think?  Thanks.

Edit:  I told him that if I used an MF of 0.00109, the payments are a little less than his quoted $922, but he says that my MF is way off.

The E400 uses the standard MF - between .00180 and .00220

Thanks, Michaell. So, using an MF 0.00180 and residual value 59% comes out about $924 a month.

That's not what I get - using $67,475 as the MSRP and $62,984 as the net cap cost, I get about $829/mo before tax.

60% Residual
MF .00109 (eq. 2.6160% APR)
$60,215 MSRP
$54,978 Cap Cost.

$678 (including CA tax @9%)

Total drive off of $1,159 (1st month payment and DMV costs)

It's a great time to lease!!!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in Texas, I believe we have to pay tax on the entire purchase amount rather than the depreciated amount. 6.25% x $62,984 = $3936.50 divided by 36mo = $109 in taxes/mo. The $924/mo that I came up also includes taxes. Does that sound right? Thanks.
