Residual Value?
I'm on my third MBUSA lease and they work out well so long as you start with zero cap reduction and about a 5-10% msrp top line discount to defray costs, then your cost to exit after say two years will be with a buck of a month of the lease payment and you'll start to gain equity in the car.
I'd suggest structuring the lease to be longer rather than shorter because of prevailing low interest rates and the rule of thumb is to have a lease end around the end of the warranty period, so four years tends to be a good break-even on $100K +/- ... as ever, caveat emptor, trust nobody ... else posts like this on the Internet. : )
MRSP: $85500
Residual: $51000 for 36 months and 58000 for 24 months.
So, How would I negotiate a very good lease?
