From cars.com quoting ALG on a 2015 model. I think its off by 5 to 10% too low.

Can't fix the formatting...

These payments are laughable for a C class.

My lease payment on my Porsche 911 GTS isn't much more than the payments for a C63.

No way.

TLDream

Maybe they expected the C63S to do poorly on the used market.

Residuals are 1 point higher than the 2015. The money factor is standard rate which is .00230.

Vanditz

Absolutely. My $120k M5 is CHEAPER lease-wise than the C63. The only way to get one of these is buying it, preferably low mileage used for a discount. Which really sucks, because leasing for me is way better for writing off tax-wise than buying it and writing off depreciation.

Axxlrod

Sounds like I'm in the same boat as you. I lease my cars thru my business and write it off.

While I dig the C63 very much, leasing a M5 for less money is a better move for me.

mister2d

That's the reason right there.

I know that AMG products tend to depreciate pretty steeply, but it seems that in a time when lots of luxury buyers lease, no one would be able to justify that price differential. Well, BMW's lease estimate for a fully-loaded M4 (14k of options, same lease terms) is still more than $200/month cheaper than a no-option C63. I really like the C63, but I could never justify that (several years back I actually did lease an M3 (e92), and gave up on the C63 when I saw similar lease numbers on that generation).

Properstyle

Have you seen the value dropp on the m5 though. holy hell you can buy a 2013 in the high 50s low 60s already thats just said, that means they are giving people less than half of the cars sale cost on turn in lol.... Now thats has to hurt.

Vanditz

All high end performance cars depreciate like hell. That's why I would never buy one new, only slightly used, if I had to buy one. That's also why I lease new. I have a small business so I can more easily write off the lease than depreciation if I bought. That being said, the depreciation on an M3 is set at 61% from BMW for a 15k lease, and Mercedes is setting theirs at 51%. So the BMW will always be a much cheaper lease. Throw in the free BMW maintenance and it makes me hard to justify a C63 lease.

Properstyle

oh not arguing that at all, just sad that you buy a 120k car and less a year later you loose half, there are used m3s selling for more than m5s with less miles. Even the older models, my 09 e90m3 dct was worth more than a 2010 v10 m5 with the same miles. kinda sad, m5 just hold no value at all. I'm new to leasing, I will like lease my next car for the wife if we sell her current c63.

johnny--2k

Damn! That's an absurdly high rate! 5.5%!!

jeremyf0923

Ridiculous! Folks that want to lease are at MB's mercy I guess - and MB is going to make as much money as they can!

JP
Doesn't the dealer have access to other banks with better rates and residuals?
They don't have to go with MB.
Find a bank that is hungry for your business.

JPMBenz

Yes, there are other banks in regards to leasing. However, most will only use MB. Most banks will not waive any excess damage and will hit you with all kinds of fees at the end.

I too agree with everything everyone's been saying. Six months ago I was on the fence between a C63S and an M4. Both were approximately $85k. I was quoted $1,515 per month. My M4 is $869 per month. While the C63 is an incredible car, I personally just couldn't justify that money. I'm sure reasonable lease rates will come out. My 2012 C63 Edition 1 was $1,010 per month.

Sup guys, firs post here
looking into lease number for c63 anyone else care to share current offers and deals?
-thanks

CT-AMG

cprx7: If you live on the east coast, NY, NJ, CT, MA I got a dealer who is willing to lose money on these cars to move them. Let me know...

cyberorth

I would guess NOW you can lease a well equipped s trim for 1000-1100 +tax a month with no down.

dkhm3

incredible.

WAY cheaper to buy used in this case.

I bought a near pristine 3 yr old cpo '08 with 18k miles for 49k out the door.

drove it for 3 years, put about 8-10k a year on it (didn't like it very much), traded it in for 29k for a new m3.

20k over 3 years.

A LOT cheaper used.

Acturater

Interesting to see the same folks in the M3 and W205 forums

I also was cross shopping the two and ended up going F80 due to lease rates. Would def be interesting to see where things are in a couple years. Hoping the B9 rs4, c63s, and Alfa are all competitively priced by then.

dkhm3

Yup.

rmt52

Just curious, how much of a discount are you talking?

jblaw

Also curious!

darwin329

Any updates on the current lease on the 63s? apreciate all inputs thanks
