E350 Lease help

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and would like to get some suggestions on leasing an 07 E350. I dropped by the dealership today and was quoted the following:

1) $688 drive off at $680/month for 10K miles for a base E350 sedan w/ the sport package.

2) $688 drive off at $720/month for 10K miles for the above car with Premium I

3) $728 at $770/month for 10K with Premium II

All are for 36 months. This seems pretty high to me and I was wondering what would be more reasonable. I would prefer the Premium II Package version.

This is the first time I'd be leasing a car so bear with me if my questions seems naive. All my other cars were paid for in cash but leasing is a better alternative for me now for tax purposes. I'm currently in a W163 ML 430. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Based on your location, as identified by your IP, I would suggest you get a lease with a higher mileage allowance.

Sounds high to me. First off get a 33 month lease, they have a special now, residuals are 56% for 15,000 miles and the money factor is .0009 (2.1%) with good credit.

As an example I was looking at an E550 w/p1 stickered at $64,415. I was quoted $769 a month with $3500 total out of pocket including the bank fee, first payment, NY sales tax (8.625%- approx. $2200), any any other creative fee you could think of. That was for 15000 miles a year.

If you give us the breakdown of MSRP, sale price, money factor and residual you are quoted, months and total out of pocket, we would be able to better judge...

That's amazing deal!

My sister co-worker's husband work as a service manager (Penske MB). He can't even get a deal like that. Talk about $54,000 Mercedes. That's the price i got quoted for BMW 328I ($38,000).

It would be helpful to know where the deal is, as In NY for example you would have $2000 in tax, NC would have $300...
