So if you lease for 3 years and then buyout at the end of the lease would you still come out ahead if you're planning on keeping the car long term?

if you buy/lease a new car youre gonna lose lots of money as it depreciates
best way to avoid this is to buy slightly used, this way if you get it a year or two old...it has already depreciated quite a bit
but theres no way around it
lease or buy, youre gonna take a nice loss

Have him provide you the residuals and the money factor.
I think its funny that he isn't sure what HIS dealership will mark up the price of the car OVER MSRP.
Paying over MSRP is just DUMB.
I don't believe this "deal" is going to work out the way your salesmen is making it sound. Plenty of guess work and empty promises.

where did i say that im getting the car over MSRP
hes getting it below MSRP!!!!!
2nd it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a risidual today, MB has not released pricing on the 09s
but he did say an 09 will have better ris. than an 08
there is no guess work, only guess work is on my end estimating the car at 71k

we also took into consideration that the car might be anywhere from 1-3% more on MSRP
The last time I looked into leases I'm pretty sure the residual of the vehicle isn't based on MY.

I believe the leasing companies update the residuals each quarter.

Actually, the residual can change throughout the MY. As the new MY approaches, the outgoing MY residual drops because it is assumed the older car is less desirable than the new. As the re-sale values strengthen, the residuals firm up. Leasing an 09 in August 2008 might be a bit cheaper than leasing an 09 in August of 2009.

no one really knows if the 09 will have the same price as the 08
if it is more expensive, we're guessing 1-3% more

I did know that the money factors are normally the purse strings that are adjusted to make leases more desireable, didnt know they really changed residuals much. Thanks for the info

yea it kinda makes sense.....the 09 is newer then the 08 and will depreciate less....hense the 09 has a better residual

yes i also thought this sounds to good to be true
which is why, im reading everything very carefully, and looking into
so far it looks legit!
to anyone who is skeptical, look into it, and if its not for you or feel its too good to be true, dont take it
i for one think its worth the shot
he has till august 15th to deliver me that exact car, with those exact conditions or i get my deposit back
worth the risk for me
