Getting out of a lease

I am thinking about getting out of my lease after 12 months. Not because I don't like my W204 - I love it - I'm just finding it slightly too small for taking my kids and all their bags.

Has anyone done this recently? Will it be too expensive to do it, or will Mercedes be reasonable given that I intend to lease a W211, or maybe a W212?

Good luck, you likely will lose BIG $$$$
Find some one that is willing to take over your lease

Around $950. Loaded C350 4-Matic. Not a bad deal at the time.

Try Leasebusters?
I recall seeing someone putting one up that's $650 per month tax in... C350W4M + prem. He must have put a big down payment on it.

You're paying $950 a month on a C-class lease?!?! Are you out of your damn mind?!

I'm paying $479 with no money down on my C300 Sport 4 Matic with P1 and MM package.

And yes the only way you'll get out is if you just pay the remainder of your lease payments. Or find somebody to take over your payments...but at that price it's not gonna be easy. Try Leaseswap.com too I guess

Try leasetrader. You offer say 2500 or 5000 incentive, then they chop up your incentive by how many months are left to lower the payment. Worth a shot.

On the bright side, it's a C350 4matic which the Americans can't even buy if they had the money...
