It has been quite a while since an update, not that it's a popular thread, but just as important for those who may benefit from my experience.
I got a call from MBUSA case worker, than a call from the company that does the paperwork, and finally a letter stating they will buy back the car.

So if you paid 50,000 for the car (everything included), and you drove it for 1,000 miles before lemon lawing it, they'll calculate the mileage deduction at 50cents per mile, so you'll actually get back $49,500 ($50,000 minus the $500 value of the 1,000 miles you did get to drive).
I'm guessing mercedes calls it a usage fee because it isn't a lemon law buyback, but essentially the same thing.

I'm not 100% certain if this is what the "usage fee" refers to, since this is a buyback rather than lemon law. But under a lemon law buyback, the manufacturer will pay you back what you paid for the car, minus a mileage deduction calculated by the number of miles you've already driven the car. Usually, it's something like the value of the car/100,000, is the per mile charge.

anyone knows how MB calculated "usage fee" based on mileage and time been used? I am in NY state and MB had decided to buy back my car. Full payment minus usage fee will be refunded.
Based on Sequins, car value of 50k / 100,000 is $ per mile, I have used 14000 which would cost me 7000 for usage fee, which seems to be very high in a so called buyback program.
