Dealer offered me an even lease swap for a new model year so I took them up on it. Palladium was the color I wanted originally, so this worked out nice for me. I like this paint/wheel contrast and the new motor is a little stronger. Other than that, identical car. I am going with Eibach this time around so the drop is not as aggressive as what my white one was on H&R.

mihink

congrats and nice wheels !

Very nice. I was curious what the S-class AMG wheels would look like on the E-class.

I've read a few people here swapping leases for nothing or just a little more than their current payments. Did you have to ask for it and how long were you on your lease before they let you swap? I'd love to swap up to a bigger motor before the end of my lease.

The dealer contacted me to trade up, which was kind of surprising since I shopped my original lease really hard. I have a $57k car, put nothing down, talking drive off with $0 out of pocket, not even regristration and my payment is $685 with tax. My first lease was 24 months, this new one will end up being 33 months. Not sure how they came to 33 months actually, but I'm fine with that. 24 was a little too short. I had 5 payments left on my original lease which the dealer paid. Supposedly this is a deal that MB is offering. I even had a nice size wife inflicted dent on the passenger side that needed repair and the dealer waived it.

your dealer is either damn slow or crazy nice or both .
you are either a damn good loyal customer or have high potential to become one .
no matter what reason, you are damn happy and them 20" are damn nice !

piper

Are referring to my deal? My local dealer lost my business once on my wife's ML, so I think they went deep to get my business on the E. I shopped it throughout the country at about 4 different dealers. I think it's a pretty good deal, but not sure by comparison to others.

BM2BZ

so i guess everything i said above was right then .

It's been awhile Piper welcome back. Congrats on the new. I got a letter in the mail sat from the dealer stating that people are looking for 2010 model. I may go and see what they have to offer.

piper

Thanks! I was very jealous when I saw your car with my same wheels. I am real happy with the color combo. I see that offset didn't work out for you, but I like your new ones as well.

clmulli

Thanks bro! Yea that offset was a little to agressive. Im happy now.

piper

Yeah, just by chance I found these wheels with a 40+ offset that work just right. However, new car got me thinking new wheels...

Congrats. I wonder if MB and dealers are doing great deals on 2012's because the 2013 will be so different and they want to clear lots? No pontoon line on rear panel, new front, dual headlights instead of quads, new rear, etc. from what I have heard.
