lease swap chance from dealer 2003 to 04
I have a 2003 E500 sport-e2 e3 sport black obsidian-20,000miles per year that has been in shop 8x-I pay $839 per month.
I complained to dealer they are offering me even swap but withot keyless-flat black paint no wood wheel-the wheel is not not a problem- I own it- bought it- can just pay to have switched.
the orig lease was 39 months- I leased in Jan 03-they will let me turn in in 26 months.
do i do it????
is the sport package different from the appearnce package?
all opinions are urgenlty needed
does the 2004 have the same stupid problems the 2003 had?
Great car but tired of sitting in MB service depts.
No $$$ out of pocket

Is the buyout number the same at the end? Will they pro-rate the DMV fes? If so, jump all over this one. The 7G trans will save you $ on gas and be faster.

The buyout could be a source of profit. It they swap the cars and leave the lease alone, the buyout will reflect the old car's original calculated residual. However, the 2004 car is 20,000 miles and a year newer, right? At the end of the lease, you will owe an amount that reflects a 39 month old car with 70,000 miles but yours will actaully be 26 months old and have 50,000 miles.
Maybe I'm not reading this right but I've heard that lease swaps are usually good for the consumer.

So, if mileage is now zero and residual is the same as it was before, you are getting a better deal should you decide to buy the car at the end.
