2013 and earlier-Mercedes-Benz M-Class Lease Questions

Also are there any incentives right now that I could be utilizing to get the out the door sell price under the invoice value? Thinking something like the BMW ultimate drive coupon, etc. If I can get my dealer to agree to close to invoice pricing then utilize incentives to get the final sale price under the invoice that would be perfect.

Sorry for the multiple posts. In the mean time I've been quoted the following if you can tell me if you think this is a good deal. I am also a USAA member which I have not told the dealer about yet so that should give me a bit more off I believe?

30 month lease with 10,000 per year

2013 ML350 AWD - Lunar Blue with premium 1 package, rear seat wiring, and harmon audio

0.0016 money factor (if I do auto pay this will reduce it by .0001 right?)
63 percent residual ($35,327.25)
$56,075 MSRP
$50,467 is the selling price
$199 processing fee
$595 MBUSA lease acquisition fee
$2,050.44 Virignia tax
$52.75 Virginia tags

Hi Carman! Can you pls quote me a 48 mo money factor and residual on an ML350 blutec? I was quoted 600-650/mo on a list price of $61k. Is this a good deal? Thanks!!

Just picked up a 2013 ML lease - folks think this is a good deal? Doesnt seem to be as great of promos on the ML than on the C and E classes right now...but I thought I did OK. I calculate ~13% off of MSRP and $2k under invoice.

MSRP: $57,680
Cap Cost: $50,300
Adj Cap Cost: $50,919 (addition of prepaid maintenance)
0 Cap Cost Reduction
Residual: $36,915 (64%)
MF: .0015
30 Months/10k miles
~$600/mo
$3,800 due up front incl taxes, tags, registration, first months payment, $795 acquisition fee

Would be interested in feedback!!

Thanks.

What state did you get that kind of deal? I probably would have gotten serious about the ML350 Bluetec if offered a lease like that to start with. They would only come down $2000 on a $56k MSRP. Residual of $35,987. I think the MF was .00441. To me they were not dealing on the vehicle. They said the Bluetecs are too hard to get.

Looking at doing a 24 month with 10k miles per year, one pay lease on a 2014 ML bluetec. THe MSRP for the car is around 65k. What would be a good payment on it? I have 4 other One pays with MB Financial (not sure if that helps)

Hi Car_man,

Can you post the August 2013 residual and MF for an ML350, 36 months, 12k a year?

Thanks!

Hi (esteemed) Car Man-

Could you please also let us know what the Mercedes August money factor and residual figures are for the 2014 ML350 Bluetec, on a 15K/per year, 3 year lease? The one I ordered in June is due to be delivered the end of this month, and the "deal" I made with my dealer when I ordered it was that we would use whatever Mercedes lease rates are in effect when I take delivery: hopefully they are not significantly worse than they were in June

Many thanks.

kyfdx

I'm sorry.. it doesn't look like we'll have Mercedes lease numbers for August.

Hi guys-

My car (2014 ML Bluetec) has arrived, and the dealer is telling me the Mercedes lease rates (3 years, 15K miles per year, top tier credit) are money factor of .00325 and residual 60%. The residual sounds right but the money factor seems way high. Do you have any info yet on the actual September rates from Mercedes? Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this.

kyfdx

The residual is correct... that model uses the standard money factor. I'm not sure what that is, but I would assume it is high.... but, would also assume that your dealer is marking it up the maximum, as that is astronomical..

tuburonh

Thanks very much. You'll love this: the tentative deal I had made before placing my order (as no one knew then what the rates would be at the time the car got delivered) was that the selling price would be invoice, and the money factor used in the lease calculation would be whatever the Mercedes top-tier credit money factor was plus a small markup of .0001 (in the dealer's words, to pay for his finance department's time). I told them the figure they were quoting now for the MF of .00325 was just too high (it's the equivalent of an APR of 7.8%) and that I was going to walk. They came back the next day and said they had "discovered" that Mercedes has a special secret money factor for "super tier" credit people and my money factor under this program would be only .00195.

I thought the days of playing games with the customer like this were long gone, especially at a Mercedes dealer. Boy, was I wrong. Needless to say, I stuck with my decision to walk away from the deal.

Ridewithg.com has 2014 Mercedes ML350 4matic 36 Month – Residual 53% of MSRP – .00149 Base Rate. Not sure how much the blue differs....but yea, glad you walked! There are plenty of mercedes dealers in the country.

kyfdx

Yeah... your story is not that surprising, unfortunately...

I wouldn't have the guts to order a car, without the financing program being locked in... I know Mercedes won't do that...

Good luck!

Hi all,
I went to a Mercedes dealer near by and asked for lease quote on a ML350W4, MSRP:58,795.

Here is what I was offered:
36 Months, 10K
down payment $4,643 which includes taxes/fees/1st month/DMV
monthly price: $798.99
Residual not clear as one sales rep said 55%, and the other one said 49%. Didn't ask for MF. The dealer offered a discount of $2,450.00.

Can anyone share their findings or what they think of the above?

Thanks,

Hello Everyone

I am being offered a (demo with 5500 Miles) 2013 ML 350 4matic

Premium 1 package
keyless Go
Lane assist
blind spot monitor
parking assist package
Ambient Lighting package

MSRP is 58K

30 month lease
10K miles a year
630 Down (first month)
and 630 a month
Tax and fees are included

is this a good deal??

i dont mind the car being a 2013 but the fact that it has 5500 miles makes me think about it a little.

What do you guys think?

The next best offer is on a 2014 similarly equipped, 0 miles for 715/month, 10k miles a year and 4300 down (taxes and fees)

looks like i would be saving 5000 to 7000 for the life of the lease.

kyfdx

If you are turning it in at lease end, I'd jump on the demo...

Under warranty the entire time, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Does special ordering a vehicle thru the dealer reduce the attainable discount off msrp?
What is a current reasonable discount off msrp?

Thx! I think u are helping me on the S forum as well!
