Hello. New member here. This is my first Benz tho I've always been around them. I work at a MB dealer is socal. I was drving a MK6 GTI, but i was able to lease a 12 E350 for a couple hundred less per month then my V-DUB, no brainer right? My car is a Arctic White, P1, pano roof and rear spoiler, nothing special yet.

Here is one picture I took, I would post more but you guys already know what they look like

My last car was mk6 gti as well. What a fun little car that was. But it was just too small and uncomfortable for long trips.

Congrats! I know M-B are practically giving E's away with some of these prices, but a couple hundred cheaper than a GTI? How's that even possible?!

It's almost ridiculous as to how many incentives are thrown at the E-Class. I don't understand the point of irresponsibly asking for a certain price (MSRP) when they let the cars go for much cheaper (not to mention it's not a good look for the car or manufacturer).... they should just adjust the MSRP, IMO.

We cant give cars away. Have to pay the bills too. I always able to get a good deal through our employee master lease program.

Ahh, okay that's the kicker. Forgot about the employee benefits. Definitely makes it extra worth it there.

you really don't want to know how much their employees are paying per month. it's mind-boggling ! most of them can make some good money at the end of the lease.

I didn't opt for the P2 either. Keyless go is sweet, but I kept losing my key from time to time & searching for it like a madman in the car So I guess that worked out for me. As for bi-xenons I paid $160 some for an HID kit & LED parking bulbs installed & that does the job for me.

Veilside was one of my favorite tuning companies when i had my 240sx's . It has been my handle for everything so I just decided to use it here. Btw Ryden, love your wheels. Where did you get them?
