2019 GLS 450
2019 E class MF and residual
What is the MF and residual for a 2019 E450? Was quoted a MF of 0.00205 and a residual of 58% for a 36 months/7500 miles per year lease. Was told that was the MBFS rate. Does that sound correct? Residual seems low and MF very high.

Actually that seems about right:
On my 2019 E450 where I took delivery in December, 2018, 10 months ago, but made the deal at the beginning of October, 2018 so it was a custom ordered car - not from inventory:
I received 12% off of MSRP. The 2019 is now a year old, so I would expect the amount off of MSRP should be considerable greater. If it is not, you might do better with a 2020 where the MF should be the same, but the residual will be higher.
Hope this helps

Form my own experience:
A recent post, in another thread, set forth from Edmunds both the MF and residuals on two different E class models. So there were in total 2 MF and 2 residuals - a MF and residual for each model.
As you can imagine there was much discussion.
If you go to the site above, these are just experiences of other owners- nothing is verified.
I called my dealer who gave me the actual MF and residuals: Three out of four MF and residuals from Edmunds discussions were incorrect.
Money factors and residual change every 90 days, so the best place to go is the dealer - as GLSowner has done!
Edmunds does not go to each manufacturer for their information, but rather rely on customers reporting back to them.
