CLS550 HRE 948R - CLK55 AMG Sold
Current lease CLS550 SPORT thinking 1.5 years ahead.. What do you think?

Current 2009 CLS550 Sport pkg, every option, diamond white ~15k miles. Absolutely love this car so happy with it.
Only about 1.5 years left on the lease and thinking ahead.
  • MB FS make offers/negotiate to keep payment the same or lower to keep you in the car longer? Or do they really want it back?
    Note: residual will be thousands higher than what the car will be worth selling after a buy out, that's not an option here.


    Love the Twin turbo idea for the 2012 CLS550! However 2 concerns....
  • Will my HRE wheels fit 20x11? Hate to sell and loose money, rather use them, but dont want an SL.
  • I highly doubt the 2012 CLS550 sport loaded will even come close to the rate I pay now? (its about half of the normal rate w/ $0 down, just insane deal here)

What do you guys think?

You can always inquire with MBC to see what they will do on an early termination. It usually depends on the market conditions and right now the used car market is pretty strong.

**Not looking to early terminate the lease, turn it back in ontime or either extend it.
