thanks for pulling those r350 auction numbers from wendy. i didnt get a chance to get back over there....
as you can see, your buyout quote is right in line with the wholesale values for R350s.
What does not make sense is why anyone would spend that much for the 350 when the 500 can be had for another $1-2k....i would have expected that the R500 would be more desired now that it is no longer imported into the U.S. Not to say that the 350 isnt a good car, but the 500 never lacks for power even when pulling its 5000lbs around town or at speeds in excess of 80mph.....I really do not understand how anyone could choose a big luxury SUV over this car....the infinity and lexus cannot hold a candle to the ride or performance and the R has nearly as much interior volume.
In any event, i got offered a cash price of $26,275 inc. tax (with no remaining lease payments). My lease has two more months so i am going to wait and gamble that the price will go down a bit more. i cannot see auction prices increasing in the winter given continued economic turmoil and the fear of higher taxes and a deeper recession in '09.

There are auction posts for all types of vehicles at the site above.
My lease isn't due until mid-January so I'll probably wait a few more weeks and see how things change. I forgot to ask if they would do an extended warranty or "certified pre-owned" on it if i decide to keep it. I normally pass on these things, but have had some minor issues along the way and plan to keep it for another 5+ years so it might be worth the piece of mind.
thanks everyone for all the information.
I am totally going to get X5 instead of MB next time.
Also has anyone learned anything about purchasing an extended warranty at the same time as lease buy out?
1. Should I go ahead and pay that or let the dealer pay it and bill me for it?
2. Is it true we have 5 days after the end of the lease to returne the car?
3. Is it possible to ask for extension of a few months on my lease?
My lease expires on 2/3/09. I talked to MB today and they offered me $28688.92 for the purchase price. For the extention on the lease they want additional $140/mo.
Here are the options for the 09 R-Class
RL 350 4Matic $46,450
Black/ Blacl MB Tex NC
Sport Package/ Appearance 19" wheels $1,060
Panorama Sun Roof $1,050
Heated Front Seats $720

Thanks,
The price hasn't changed this month as far as they are telling me. I called today and the price on my R500 is $24k plus taxes or ~ $26k out the door. Let me know if you hear anything different as my lease is up Jan 15th as well.
Curious that you received a 24k quote for the r500, as my r350 also i quoted at 24k...
MBF also confirmed that any extended warranty has to be purchased through the dealership..what a great way to ensure that MB dealers get a second chance to try to fleece buyers and ensure that MB customers are unhappy....i just do not understand certain aspects of this business model.
Thanks.
Orig. MSRP $63565
Orig. Residual $41952 (66%)
Current Residual $24391 (38% and/or ~$17500 off original residual depending on how they present it to you.)
Total out the door $26636 (WA sales tax of 9.1%)
I only have 24k miles on it and I just don't know where I would find this nice of a car for that price (especially when I know the history) so we have decided to keep it. Thanks everyone for all of your help. If you need anything, post here and I will respond to "pay it forward".
did you request docs when you spoke to MBF?? i got an email quote (high) to my MBF online account and a slightly lower quote by phone ($15236 off my residual of 42,035). More than one person has now posted a discount of $17,500 off their residual for an R500.
I am also in the same situation as many of you. Like the car very much, and would like to buy it off at the right price. How should I go about negotiating it? How much should I expect to pay?
2006 R350. MSRP $62k Residual $38k. 27-mon lease ends March '09.
Is the price based on the mileage? I drove much less than the allowed 15k miles per year.
Financing through MB finance.
Also, should I consider getting extended warranty? How much will it cost? Can I get it from 3rd parties? A friend is high-up at Honda and can arrange a good deal. Would that be recommended?
I'm based in Southern California. Thanks.
I got the quote after talking to them on the phone first. They came right out with the $17500 off of residual. After he gave me the quote I asked them to send the paperwork so I hope that helps. Personally, I would call them back and tell them you want the same $17500 off that others are getting or no deal.
good luck!
they held firm at a discount of $15,236 even when i told them that others have gotten 17,500 off (38% residual).
the only thing i can think of is that they adjust residuals customer by customer based on the individ lease terms not solely on current market value and msrp....
for those who dont remember i leased in what was close to the "perfect storm" thanks to a handful of folks on this board who coordinated and shared info and I had the best no BS dealer/saleman a person could ask for -
MSRP = $62,740
Cap Cost = $46,240
discount $16,500
Drive-off amt = $1,372.56 ( Ca State Title Transfer fee = $15.00, 1st month payment = $508.81, MBF Bank Fee = $795.00, Ca dealer documentation fee = $45.00)
12k miles per year
27 months = $508.81 + tax
Money factor = .00400
Residual = 67% / $42,035.80
with the offered discount of $15236 my adjusted residual percentage is 42.7% after 27 mos.
including the interest component for 27 mos, i am paying $41,300 for a car (+$750 shipping from CA when new) that listed for $62,700. I purchased outright for my mother the identical car at the same time for the cap cost of $46,240....clearly I cannot complain...BUT I could turn this car in and pick one up at auction for $23-24k inc auction fees....but the add'l 2-3k to buy my car ensures that I get a creampuff with no issues, no dents, no accidents, driven gingerly for only 20k miles....sigh....
how many days after the lease ends can i hold the car before buying or turning it in??
Lease Residual = 67% / $42,035.80 - at lease end with the add'l offered discount of $15236 my adjusted residual percentage is 42.7% after 27 mos.
at the end of the day, i cannot complain about paying a bit over $41,000 for a $62k car (including financing for 27mos). the car has under 20k miles and is in perfect shape save one door ding and a need for new rubber all the way around. Dealer quotes for extended warranty are a rip off compared to GM extended warranties (apples and oranges i know but still).
2years 75k $3542.00 or 100k $4605.75 /2012
3years 75k $4071.00 or 100k $5313.00 /2013
considering the car still has factory warranty for 1.75yrs or 50k miles, not great options.
