Okay, I got a black 550 with all the options minus distronic. I got it two months ago. My credit was at a 701, but I'm only 21 years old. My lease is 48 months with 15,000 miles a year.....$4000 drive-off with a monthly payment of $1273 including taxes. This is in California.


I know people who got the same car with the same down-payment and have a $1400 payment. But on this message board I hear people claim that they have a payment in the $900-$1000 range.


What's the deal?

the 48 months is where they got you. You should have been able to get the same deal, but for 36 months or less

Its not the best deal out there but its what most people are paying. The 900-1000/m quotes are for the E550 but dont compare the two cars.(payment wise). A good deal now a days should somewhere in the 11s.

I notice that too for the E-Class 08 payment range depending on the Down Payment range $900-$1100 now. I remember they range from $800-$900 for the 07s

Wow it's so nice to have a CLS550 at 21. I am also 21 and when I tried to finance a 2005 E55 the dealer told me I can't get MB to approve even my credit is about 750 since I am too young. Anyways, the lease seems okay though, maybe with a shorter term it'd be even better.

I got my car during the summer to remember sale that they had last July 06. I got a CLS500 sticker was 72k total drive off was 6k. My monthly came out to $850 with tax fro 36 months @ 12k miles / yr. Guess the dealer was dumping all the 500 because the 550 was already coming out the next month.

I have a question. How did they not approve you if you're credit rating is 750? I thought all it took was a stable credit rating, and a good job?

My lease on my CLS55 AMG Is $1500 including taxes for a 36 month lease. I definaly didn't get a good deal.


But then again.. this is SoCal and I did get it from Fletcher Jones. hahaha.


$12xx seems good to me though. You should have tried for a 36 month lease.

^ What do you mean by "I did get it from Fletcher Jones" ???


Do they not give good prices because that dealership gets crazy business?


But just to let you know, I got my 550 from the Fletcher Jones in Fremont in the bay area......

I was at Mercedes of Miami this weekend. They're trying to dump 07's, and offered a loaded E550 for $850 + tax no down, just inceptions; vs. $1200ish for the CLS550. Term was 39 months. I was surprised that there was that much of a difference. The E stickered for $58K, the CLS for $72K. Dealer stated that MB Financial was helping on the residual end for the E but not the CLS.
