Can i Lease a Starmark Certified Preowned??

Is this even possible? Do they lease pre-owned vehicles? I love the CLK208, but with all the problems that i have heard about, and as a soon to be entering the workforce college grad, i would rather have one for a year or two with warranty, because once the lease is up, its reliability will probably be shot, and by that time i will be a lot more settled and able to afford something a little more top end.

So are leases available on pre-owned vehicles?

"Pre-Owned Leasing
Now you can lease a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz. Choose from all models, up to eight model years old. Under full warranty, your pre-owned car gives you more car for the money, lower monthly payments and lower insurance costs."

Please clarify/elaborate. As i may/may not have stated, i'm 22, and I was turned off by the long term outlook of owning the CLK430 as i'm sure repairs/etc would get expensive, but i am very attracted to it, and i just decided i would lease it for a year or two. Please explain the downside, i'm not as experienced w/ purchases/leasing as many of you are.

I figured i'm leasing a vehicle which had been leased before, and i'm getting all the same bumper to bumper warranty coverage which was available to the previous owner, and am expected to keep the mileage within the agreed range...is this correct?

I think one of the disadvantages is that you're paying, but in the end, your money goes nowhere really...you dont get to keep the car

Leasing is available for preowned vehicles but you may have to purchase additional starmark warranty for coverage when the original warranty expire. This means you will pay additional 1-2000 dollars for the warranty. Customarily the preowned vehicles will come with 1 year/100K miles Starmark warranty which is not adequate.
