Lease deals too good to be true, Scams or legit?

Hi guys, I am looking to lease a new car for my parents, either the E350, Lexus ES350, or Volvo S80.

Anyway was searching the net for some quotes and came up with a few for E350 that just seems too good to be true, but swapalease.com is a legit site. So i am not sure, can someone please take a look and let me know if they are scams or any hidden tricks? Thanks!


$430/month, $2000 down


$400/month $2500 down

JRam, your car looks really nice in Silver! I have the 07 E Saks Fifth Ave Edtion, Comes with the AMG sport Pkg like yours. For some reason the E Saks didnt come with paddles. This has been one of my most favorite cars.

I got my car off swap a lease, they are definitely legit. I cant speak for that company (signature auto group) but I called them a couple of times and a young guy picked up and gave me prices. I never actually met with them but I an confirm that someone picks up the phone. Also when I called they tell you that the down payment does not include tax title and tags which brings it up to about 3800 total down.
Also in that add its only 10k miles a year
