used 2003 or 04 SL500 lease, am i crazy?

Can it work out? ive seen used car leasing in jersey, but if i were interested in an SL would i be able to be within the 800 dollar range, with 0 down? or is it worth it to pick up a newer SL550, ive seen it for around 999 with 0 down from a local leasing agency.

In any event i may otherwise finance a clk350 convert, probably an 06, but would a clk500 be as discounted?

Not crazy at all, you can probably lease or assume a lease for an 05 SL for around 800-900

The payments will fluctuate, compared to used, depending on the special lease incentives offered by Mercedes Credit.

You likely will not find a lease for anywhere near that. Even looking on leasetrader, most of them are 1300-1500 with only 1 under 1000/month. A local dealer here also had a SL lease offered at like 1k/month but it pretty much had no options.
