Any attractive leases available through MB?
With values below dealer invoice and plenty of inventory carrying into the new model year, it would seem time for MB to provide some subsidized leases...anything yet?

On a car that rare you wont see any cheap money factors. They will have to be sold at huge losses to the dealerships who still have new cars in their inventory (which is quite a few). More main stream cars get cheap leases but you wont see a CLK BS lease promotion.

It may not be well advertised if/when it happens, but I think it has to. Too many new cars sitting on lots, and the cash buyers already have their cars. Looks like ~25% of the whole production run is for sale on AutoTrader.com right now. Dealers are hurting enough already...I can't believe MB will not support them with reasonable leases for the BS.
Aston Martin was running a lease special last month on the Vantage...also a relatively rare car with similar MSRP and current value.

The same goes for these CLK's. Sure there are a lot still sitting around new but mb wont do anything to move so few units. The most wild lease promotion ever done was the E55 promotion on 2006. All other deals are done on main stream cars that are not rare and niche market items.
There were C55's available to factory employees in 2006 for 38k but that was again to move units that were in massive numbers and unsold for a year or so.
