That could make sense. There has to be a very calculated reason as to why M-B does those oddball number Leases.
As for residual, like I mentioned before, my 2010 after a 39 month Lease had a $32K residual/buy out, and my 2011 (very slightly higher MSRP) has a $38K for a 33 month Lease, which is ridiculously high.
However, aside from possible negotiations with MBUSA, if someone really wanted to buy their cars after the Lease, just find a Dealer willing to deal, and turn it into them, let them take it to the back and CPO it, and then buy it off their lot immediately for a more fair market value.
