Can someone break this down into what money factory this is being offered at? And of course, is this a good deal?

This sounds to good to be true, is anone considering this offer?

sdsilverm3

I'd consider it but I'm currently tied up with my C55 under a similar deal I got last year. If you can use the lease as a tax write-off the deal gets even better.

ANother thing to keep in mind is that you will only get this deal if you have a credit score of 730 or higher.

I don't know about you but I've never had any dealers wanting to budge on pricing on AMG cars so $2,414 is better than nothing.

I just got an e-mail from MB-Manhattan for their lease specials

2006 E55
$2495 Down
$999 per month
$795 Bank fee
7500 miles per year

It says to call for more details

7500 miles a year? Thats ridiculous.

sdsilverm3

7500 miles a year isn't enough mileage unless it's like a 3rd car. LOL.

hey sdsilverm3, if you really are considering the E55, don't let your current lease stop you. MBCC will waive all the early return fees and LOWER the residual to get you into a new one. You can find your current buyout at the site. Also, the $2400 is not even a dealer discount, it is an MBUSA discount, along with the MF of .00125. You can still get another break from the dealer. My boy is still calling me trying to get me to roll over the '05 into an '06. For now, I would end up eating $10K in the deal. I figure 1 model year is only worth $5K to me, so I haven't bit, yet. we'll see before the month is up on if he will get lower. Oh yeah, he is cutting me an extra $3K now. I doubt he'll add another $5k to it or I would bug him.

HOw many miles is this e55 deal giving you?

jangy

I minimized the miles, since I always buy out the car at the end and then trade it in. The current offer is at 10000 per year. 15000 per year is almost exactly $100 per month more. Hope that helps.

sdsilverm3

Hey jangy, I think I'll swing by the dealer before the deal ends to see what's the best they can do. If I do get the E55 that definitely means my 2nd car has to go. I don't know if I'm willing to do that especially with the gas mileage I'll be getting with the 55K motors. Plus I just got the mods for the C55 so I'd have to start over again. Grrrr, decisions decisions...

Please let me know how it works out for you if you do pull the trigger on one.

7500 miles a year is lowwww ...my SL is a 5th car and I've still put about 5k miles on it in one year...keeping to 7.5k a year is seriously not do able unless you drive like under 150 miles a week which most people are do much more than...mb manhattan = haha
