I'm not sure if you are considering another MB, but in a few months you might be able to convince the dealership to take it back early in a trade.

When I had my Ml, I returned it 1-2 months before lease term ended and leased another MB , not sure if a specific policy is in place?

Over the years I've seen many say they've received notices from MBUSA about an early lease return on a new MB. I'm not sure if it runs all the time, but might be worth a discussion with the dealer.

A gaggle of MB's
The early-lease payoff's are offered by MBFS, and at this moment 5 months is doable for most models. MBFS technically "pays" the last 5 months if you are stepping forward into a new lease - that earlyier payoff doesn't require any dealer dollar contribution..

If you want out - I also recommend researching into swapalease.com - and posting a firm offer.. actually there are some very good "bargains" that come up there especially if you search/sell national market..

MBUSA said they will buy my GL back 4 months early and offer tons of incentives (waving fees, conquest money, . . . .) if i get into another MB but am thinking I am going to play with an S4 for a few years and then pick up a used '14 E63 wagon - was postig here prior to hitting up swaplease - looking at swaplease my payment/terms are alot more attractive then alot of the ones up there so i may go there, but thought i'd post here first -
