Better to Finance or Lease the GLB?

Do you think is better to Finance or Lease the GLB since it’s a new model?

Lease, you never know what kind of gremlins might pop up with a brand new model. I was one of the unlucky ones to get a 2015 C300 with the wrist pin issue ( major engine surgery.

This place is a joke.
It's a depreciating asset. How much money are you looking to waste?

Pay cash in full, if it an option for you. Then sell it before the warranty expires, if that is your vehicle ownership style. Or drive it as long as possible.

MB’s of all kinds.
Buy a used one.
Interest rates are low so finance it. Maybe even buy a used larger suv and get more value. For what you will pay for a subcompact you can buy a midsize or full sized suv instead while saving money.

Happy to finance. 46k car. Bought for 41k. Trade had 8.5 in equity. So financed 33.5k after taxes.
Got a solid rate through MB for 2.9 for 72 mos. No complaints
