This will be the first time I would be leasing car, so I have some questions since the terms are different vs a buy. I am looking at the 2012 C250 or maybe the C350 since the price does not seem to much different.

I would like to know what I should expect to pay for a lease if I did a 36 month with 15k miles. I probably drive between 14-17k a year so 15k would work best for me. Is the maintenance included in the Mercedes lease or would I still get hit every time I take it in?

Any help would be helpful.
Thanks

 

Read Edmunds Leasing tips. It is good advice. Maintenance is available for $769 for three years.

If you need the maintenance to cover you through 50000 miles (which the OP would), it is $1942.

 

I got my C250 Coupe with Premium/Nav/Lighting (MSRP $42,310) with 15k miles, 36 month term, and full maintenance for 3 years (btw, it is $769 if you pre-pay for it, it added ~$15/month to my monthly payment) for $0 down (with Conquest incentive), $530/month payment.
