'03 C-Class residual and Money Factor

I was playing with the 'Build your Own' feature at mbusa.com, and noticed that the residual percentages for leases seem a bit low (as if they had not updated the numbers for MY03).

Anybody knows what the residual % are for the different C-Class models? And/or the money factor (or equivalent APR) currently in effect @ MB?

For those interested in leasing a '03. They changed the residual/money factors at mbusa.com (Build your Own section).

Apparently the new values for the '03 C320 are:
12K 36 months: residual = 62%
12K 48 months: residual = 55%

For the '03 C230K:
12K 36 months: residual = 60%
12K 48 months: residual = 51%

Money Factor seems to be around 0.003422 (8.2%). All of these numbers are "guesstimates", and my math may be off.

Is there any official info yet?

Just leased a '03 and originally had numbers quoted for a '02 so here's what I was given (in Canada, if that matters):

'03 C230K

18K kms 48 months = 56%
24K kms 48 months = 54%

This is an improvement from:

'02 C230K

24K kms 48 months = 49%
