2021 E350 Prepaid Maintenance Cost
Does anyone know how much the prepaid maintenance cost on an Mercedes E350 lease? The 2,3,4 yr plans used to be on the website when you built a vehicle, but appears they took it down. Trying to get an estimate on what it would cost if I purchase it at least start.

When you put the maintenance contract into the lease it is residualized: if the residual is 59%, then you will only pay for 41% of the cost of maintenance contract.
On my 2019 E450 and the my Mercedes before it, I put the maintenance contract into the lease. This is the way you should do it.
If you go for 30,000 miles, three years, get the two year maintenance agreement which is service at 10,000 and 20,000 miles. You will turn in the car before the the third service.

Yea that’s the plan, but need to know price. Few years ago it was reasonably priced so with the lease price it became a very good deal.

If you are leasing, are you planning on keeping the car beyond 40,000 miles? If not then the 3 year, 30,000 miles is sufficient.
Keep in mind that beyond 30,000 miles you probably have to replace the tires and might have to also do the brakes. When you do your lease calculations do not forget to add those costs in.
Just found this:
E class is Tier 1
- 2 year $970
- 3 year $1280
- 4 year $1760

I used to prepay the maintenance. But now, each dealership sets its own A & B service plans. And you will be surprised the difference between dealerships at least down here in South Florida. One dealership for example wanted $900+ for a B service on our CLS450. My dealership charged $600+ for the same service. So, I would price actual vs. prepayment plans. Also, if you MB is repurchased, you will not get reimbursed for any prepaid maintenance fees.

For example my dealer routinely runs specials for the A service at $199 and about $400 on he B service - but there are over 20 MB dealers within 50 miles all competing for my business. If you have only one dealer to go, service specials may not be there.
IMO, the only time it makes sense to purchase the prepaid maintenance is when you can put it into the lease. Then the maintenance is residualized.
