With the money factors as low as they are now, you should get out of that lease and do a new one

for some reason i didn't catch the fact that its an e500 w/sport package (assumed it was 320) or the 20K miles/year

taking all that into consideration, and the low down payment, 800+ per month doesn't seem outragous, but you should be able to do better. good luck:o

If MB decided to buy back your car, then you have 2 options.

1. Just consider as early lease return.

2. Get another new 04 E500 with same option and continue your lease. Which MB has its own way to compensate the lose. You might have have to pay for anything but miles you have already used. I guess MB charges 20 cents a miles or something... I forgot...
