Another lease question

I'm getting an E500 4Matic. List including Lojack and gas guzzler is $69,180; getting $1,000 discount (that's a decent price around here for a 4Matic). I was quoted $900 for 39 months; $850 for 48 months, with $6,000 down (the $6,000 down payment pays for plates - $300; first month - $900; lease acquisition cost - $800). Residual is $43,000 for 39 months (64% of purchase price excluding gas guzzler); $32,000 for 48 months (46%). Money factor is .00275 for 39 months, .00185 for 48 months. Have highest credit rating. Is that competitive? Sounds high compared to what I've been reading on other posts.

Hi,

Just focus on Cap cost, which that should be the (MSRP - discount) price.

The most 2 import factor: 1. residual 2. money factor.

Every bank has different residual and money factor. It is really base on your credit. The US Bank has lowerst lease payment on MB, but you must have 730+ score and comparable auto before.

For MBCC, the super tier money factor is 2.1 and with residual of 0.57 12K +.02 and 10k +0.3

Chase has lower money factor but lower residual as well....

Lease is hard to explain... with only $1000 discount? I bet you can get more...

Will an MB dealer meet/beat US Bank? I have above 730 credit, and will be turning in my Lexus LX470 in December, and picking up an E500 after that. I have accounts with US Bank, so I could go that route, but figure it'd just be easier to do it all with MB if they'd meet/beat the lowest rate.

How do I get US Bank to quote lease rates?

I live in Boston area. Chase, another lease issuer, only works through dealers.

Hi guys,

The lease program of MBCC, Chase or US Bank can only be done at dealer....

If you need any quote, just tell me the MSRP price, term of lease, milage, and $ of drive off. I can do the calculation for you under tier 1 rate. (730+) You must have purcahse a car before with no bad credit and good income .

Money factor could be better if you have highest credit rating. .0025.

I'd be curious at the exact deal they offer

Too late for me now. But I'd like to know money factor and residual (and whether residual includes gas guzzler); also lease fee and other incidentals.
If anyone calls them, please share experience.
