Residual and money factors for AMG's are typically horrendous. There is very little factory backing for leases on these cars.
You can bet the farm the rates will be especially horrendous for a new model AMG that'll be selling very close to MSRP for a while.

2017 E300 4matic Sport
The day I was picking up my E300, I asked my CA what it would cost me to take one of the three E43 in stock vehicles, one of which is the Selenite color that I was taking delivery. For a msrp of about $20K more, he said that the lease price would have been close to $500 a month more because the money factor is higher and the residual rate is much lower. As said in the post above, MB has no interest in providing any programs on AMG vehicles, even if the E43 is an AMG light.

Why would they? These are the models that are pure profit. Leases are for models they want to move out the door.

e43 - 63%
In December residual of e43 was 63% vs 61% of e300 4Matic. That was for 10K a year. I priced both vehicles with similar MRSP (base e43 and well loaded e300). Lease price was about $180 higher for e43.
The car I ordered had MRSP $84,165. Lease (36 months, 10K, $3300 due at signing) payments - $1,150.
In March, April, etc. payments will be different.

Just wait till Dec. Don't think E43 is a competitive car and think it ll be discounted by 10+k by year-end. Then it will lease better. Don't really think a E43 is worth more than mid 700s/m with little down. Just like when the new turbo M3 came out, and for the first few months they were leasing 1-1.1k but then after a year were leasing in the 700-800's. Pretty much every car goes through the same cycle.

Just got a quote of $540/month $580 out of pocket, which includes first payment. 36month/10k year lease.
Car has an MSRP of $72k and not 6-8 months ago guys were still paying msrp for them. MF on the lease was .00002, or about .5%, with $10K+ discounted msrp and residual 64%.
If you ever wanted to even try a Hellcat, nows the time. can't go wrong for $500 month

That's a hillbilly dream car, its so overpowered that it can barely outrun cars with half the power to 60 since its almost impossible to handle traction at any speed, dumb car.... I do love to see them in purple though, looks baaaaaaaaaad!
