2008 4matic S550 AMG package Lease Takeover

The car is a 2008 4matic S550 in Flint Grey with Black Leather. The car almost fully loaded and has the following options:

PremiumII: Which has parktronic, heated and cooled front seats, electric trunk closer, keyless go.
Rear View camera
Wood/Leather Steering wheel
Amg Sport package which includes the front bumper, sideskirts, rear bumper with diffuser and 19" 5 spoke Amg Wheels
Panorama Sunroof
Heated Steering Wheel
Night View Assist

The lease payment is $1,955.89 per month NJ tax.
There are 32 months remaining on the lease.
The car has about 7,000 miles and the lease is for 12,000 miles a year, with 32,000 miles left on the lease.

It is in brand new condition and has only been hand washed and detailed, with no swirl marks present, it is in pristine condition. The front bumper hasn't even been drilled for the plate. I will get some better pics up asap, it's been raining almost daily here so the car needs a wash, although flint grey is great in that aspect as it doesn't show dirt as a darker car would.

If you have any questions or are interested please email me at 04yfz @ optonline dot net, or PM me. Or you can contact Alex directly by phone at 732-887-8920. Thank you.

Thank you for the compliment. As soon as the weather clears up she will be detailed and I will post pics to do her justice. Yes it is a Ray Catena car, thanks to them pulling a few strings they were able to get this for us without us having to order and wait. Great dealership and I would recommend them to anyone, they go above and beyond what is necessary. And their showroom and service center is unbelievable.

Could agree with you more...In the tri-state area I havent found a dealer of any brand that extends themselves for the customer as much as Ray Catena.

Good luck with the lease assumption, if you're serious about moving the car quickly, I'd suggest listing the car on www.swapalease.com it only costs $100-200 and it will find you many more interested "assumers" then any forum.

There is also many cars exactly the same on leasetrader and swap a lease in the 1.3 to 1.4k per month range.

Does anyone actually read the small print those super low offers? If the payment is very low it usually requires a hefty down payment, and they are usually 10,000 mile a year leases. To put money down on a lease just doesn't make sense, and if your car is totaled then guess what, that money is lost. Second of all those very low offers are for base S class, and it is very easy to rack up 15k in options on this car. Look at all those offers in the low 1000's on swapalease, they all require something around $9,000 as a down payment.

Now I have also looked at leasetrader and there are no 2008 models, and very few 4matics. Common sense tells us that if a 2007 has about as many months left as an 2008 it was bought at a discount as a left over, so of course the payments are going to be lower. Now, please plug the numbers in for yourselves for an S550 4matic with the current money factor and the same price as this one, $105,000 without tax and you will see how the payments come out.

You can't really compare a lease to a buy in regards to payments, you would have to finance it for a much longer term to get compareable lease payments. Just because it's a 4matic doesn't automatically make it the same car options wise, if that's the case then they are selling that one at a 16k discount, which is highly unlikely.

How do you like your cayenne s? Is it the 08? If I find someone to take over the lease that what I'm considering.

No it's an 05 and I am looking to sell it to get into a S550 or S63.

Those cars on ebay are optioned out the same as your car.

I just priced a car at the local dealer with PANo ap2 and p3 plus rear seat package and the buy price was 104k and 96k after the discount. I really want the S63 but living in the north east I know it is not practical to buy the S63. What I really want is to buy any Mercedes and not have it lose 1/2 its value in the first 2 years. They make such great cars but the cars just depreciate so fast. I really think leasing is the way to go but with the massive depreciation the lease payment is not much lower than the buy payment. I feel really sorry for anyone who just bought a S65 in 06. OUCH!!!

That's a fairly hefty discount, but even putting 96k into a lease you're going to get a lease number not too far from mine, in fact I bet it will be at least 1900 if you put no money down. If you're looking to lease with lower payments a BMW is the way to go. Compare an S550 non 4matic and you get a 49% residual and a .00330 money factor for 3 years versus 58% and .00195 for the 750li.
