E320 Dead

So with the lease return coming up in a few months and the inevitable return of some funds for the mileague not used, we're careful in where we drive this baby. It's been 4 days since the car was driven anywhere.

I tried to get into it today and the car won't start. I'm figuring it's dead but I had no time in the morning to actually get to it so I'll have to do something during my lunch break, more or less, get it towed. Could it be anything more serious?

If it's just been sitting for a few days, it's probably the battery.

Call MB service, they'll come out and take care of it for you.

Let me get this straight -- if you turn the car in at the end of a lease with fewer miles than you were allowed under the lease, they actually give YOU money back? I thought it only worded the other way -- you pay them per mile if you go over the mileage limit.

Yeah, hopefully it's just a drained battery and a simple jump start will do.

In the beginning, we paid for a little bit extra, 21K/year I believe, because we had intentions of driving this car predominantly and my parents took this car everywhere: OH, PA, NC, NY, etc. Whatever we haven't used, we get that back. I dont know the exact figure but that is what my salesman told me last week.
