2010 E550.. Gone but never forgotton - E63 AMG..
CRAZY Lease numbers on 2010 E550
1. Black loaded E550 on the show room floor (Sticker $ 66,500) I have to admit the car looked very aggressive and the black interior with the sport steering wheel blew me away. It was SICK…
Anyway, I currently have a blk 08 E63 , lease is up in Jan of 2010.. Dealer told me he would eat 3 payments and give me a 36 month lease on the E550 with $ 4000 down and 1150 a month.
Are these people crazy ??? Am I crazy to think that deal is a total RIP…
2. Dealer also said he would knock 10K off the residual on the 08 63 if I wanted to keep it.. Currently It's 61,000… You think I should purchase the car for 51K ? I barely have 10,000 miles on it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers

I'd keep the E63 personally, that's a damn good price and it's practically brand new, plus I think it's much nicer than the W212. Remember, in a few years when you've seen thousands of W212's, it might lose that "aggressive" look and the bland/conservative aspects of it will be by far the most prominent in what you see.... That's my opinion at least.
If you're like me and don't care if a car is new or old, just about what looks better to you, and you dig your car, I say keep it, or wait until the W212 E63 comes out for a more fair comparison.
And that Lease rate is RIDICULOUS!! These Dealers better not get too greedy, it's not like these W212's are blowing the masses away or anything right now.... and the Economy is in the crapper.... AND it's supposed to be a lot CHEAPER than the W211, lol.
EDIT:: Actually I'd look into pricing for '08 E63's if I were you to get a better idea on if it's a good deal, prices are everywhere right now so you never know....

The reason you think it's a total rip is because all residuals have dropped like rocks and leasees are the recipients of all the risk. Same reason your dealer was nice enough to knock 10K off your 63!

My opinion is to keep the E63, espically if you really are on the fence. Plus given what the dealer is telling you, on the new car, is well, over the top. These W211's may have had problems, but they are now classics....

Keep the 63. Also, remember that you will run into a h*ll of a lot more problems with the 2010 since it is a new model versus the 08 being the 2nd to last year produced of the W211.
