Have you considered a CPO or used? Might be worth a look unless you must have an 09.

Personally, I would wait or negotiate some more. This is a buyers market, and I think you could do better.

I understand wanting the new COMAND, it is nice.

Hard to say if this is a good deal without knowing the money factor and residual value.

The money factor is the interest rate you are paying. Take the mf x 2400 to get the interest rate. Example: a mf of .0035 = 8.4 percent interest. You need to decide what an acceptable rate is for you. Me, 8.4 is too much.

The residual value determines how much depreciation you are paying on your lease, obviously the higher the better.

Check the monthly rates and residuals posted by lease compare to see what MB is offering and how to calc your payment knowing the msrp, mf, residual and term.

That sounds like pretty good terms - 4.75% interest is a hair lower than prime and you are getting it for a lot less than msrp.
