335i
Question about getting into a new C-Class
I currently have a pretty loaded 335i, it is a great car and everything but I am getting tired of alot of issues with it (the runflat tires are horrible, BMW service) I really like the new C350 and was thinking is there anyway I can do a trade-in and lease a 350? I am 1.2 years into my 3 year lease, don't plan on doing this for a few months anyway. I would like to know how this would work and if I would take that big of a financial hit? thank you.

get rid of it on leasetrader.com or swapalease.com . I put my BMW650 on it and got out of it really fast, BMW is good with assuming leases, very fast. You can also assume a lease on the same websites. I like them because you can find a short lease 12-24 (or more) and you don't have to lay out any money. The only problem is that Mercedes takes forever to get through the process 5-6 weeks.

I feel you my 545 had a lot of issues, but honestly keep your 335i until the lease is over, may be by that time MB will be offering a more powerful C class

I may be wrong, but most leases have gone up in price due to the current situation and residuals dropping like a rock. It might be an attractive offer to someone looking for a 335i if your payment is lower than what they are currently leasing out at.
