Going lease prices ?

Anyone know what a good price on leasing a CL63 is ?
I heard MB is discounting them at $25,000 off but is only offering a residual of $60,000 or 50% after three years.

Don't know

Do know that my '09 CL65 is a hell of a lot more fun to drive (and a much better value) than my prior, dynamically brilliant '08 CL63 030....738 lb-ft tq (w/excellent traction) and an elegantly finished leather interior truly supersede CL63 030 at any price (only advantage of 63 is a ~250lb lighter nose b/c of motor, but easily adjusted via driving style changes, even in mtn twisties)

Given '10 CL65s will be released ?9/7/09 (I have a July build on the way), would think a 3 yr lease of a '10 CL65 and handing it back for an all-new ?'13 CL?65 is the frugal guy's (or at least the value-conscious guy's (no one needs a new CL anyway)) approach

If you can get one for $2,500 with 5-10k down that would be a great deal.. Check out lease trader they have a few under $3k a month and you dont need to put anything down.

Hmmm... I dont see the word residuals in the chart ?

Generally speaking, the way I understand it is you add up cap cost reduction plus the monthly payments (say 36 months) and the residual due and the end of the lease.

If they total less then the window sticker you did well. If it's more that is because of the interest on the payments and lack of a discount.

Remember the interest is on the vehicle and not the payment itself, typically $18,000 for 36 months.

Its included in the payment number the dealer gives you.
try this online version and use 6% interest and try and match some ad prices in the local paper.
