Smile 2006 MB R350 and R500 Lease Rates for 10/06

Hi Tarry, thanks for all the info, definitely helpful.

Would you also post the 2006 R350 and R500 lease rates and residuals? MB is giving $10k incentives now, but I'm wondering if they've also lowered the residuals or changed the MF for the month of 10/06.

THANKS.

Money Factor Now .00400 for 2006 Mercedes R Class

Dear Tarry,

We really appreciate you posting the Residuals and Money Factors on the Mercedes (Porsche and BMW). Could you double check the Money Factor for the 2006 Mercedes R Class. Several dealers have indicated that the Money Factor has risen from .00285 to .00400, ostensibly to make up for the $3000 increase in factory to dealer cash on the R500 (from $7000 to $10,000) and to encourage purchasing of the slow selling vehicles in lieu of leasing.

Thanks again!! Your information has been invaluable!

2006 R500 Money Factor/Residual For 24/27mos/12k from Leasecompare

Dear Tarry,

Thanks for the updated information. I had not previously considered your suggestion of getting the vehicle and leasing it through leasecompare. What would Leasecompare's Money Factor and Residual Value be for a 2006 R500/ 24 or 27 month lease / 12,000 mile/yr lease, assuming Tier 1a credit standing (My FICO is 807)? How does that process work? Do I negotiate with a local dealer and then have you step in with the financing or do you locate and negotiate on the vehicle.

Thanks!

Here is the link for the '06:

http://www.leasecompare.com/quick_le...&DirectQuote=1

Either we can locate the vehicle for the price shown on the link above, or lower. You can also secure the vehicle and use our service to lease it.

We have a 24 month lease on this vehicle but it's has a pretty high money factor.

Dear Tarry,

Thanks again for the info. It seems that at this time, Mercedes Benz Financial has the advantage for the 24/27 month term. I will keep your company in mind for future leases, and, once again, thanks for providing the information!
