I currently own a 2009 Mercedes Benz E350 4matic. The lease is up in May. I want to purchase a CPO e class in May when the lease is up. My current car, was involved in 3 accidents. One was my fault I rear ended a parked car at the top of a hill that I could not see. The others were the car was parked in front of my job and some one smashed the whole entire side. Then the third the car was crashed in the front by the Autobody shop. The car never rode the same and little things like sensors and such are starting to go wrong with the car. My question is at the end of the lease do you think I will have a hard time returning the car? My other question is do you think they will waive all fees and let me return at the end of the lease with no problem if I purchase another Benz (CPO)?

 

You'll be fine returning it. The car will go to the auction for a quick and easy sale. Just get rid of it and let someone get it for a cheap price.

 

Why am I going to the whaling wall?

 

First, I must say I hope everything works out for you at the end of the day (lease?). With that said, you may be better off taking the buy out price and keeping the car for awhile.

Accident damage/properly repaired on luxury cars still results in some "diminished value"...the market place has spoken on this issue many times.

The insurance companies should have paid you a deminished value amount in addition to cost of damages.
