Just leased an ML350

Hello everyone,
Newbie here. I just leased an ML350 for my parents as a 60th bday gift for them. I am picking up the truck on Monday and will deliver it to them a week later.

I look forward to frequenting this site and learning/contributing whatever I can.

I'll post pics as soon as I take some. (my new digital camera is also in the mail)

Congrats on your purchase!

This is a pretty useful forum if you have any questions, etc., so if you do, post it up.

What options and color combos did you get?

I got the Brilliant Silver with Charcoal leather. Inspiration Package 2 which includes the M1 and M2 packages.
It also has the M5 Sunroof and Power rear quarter windows package, Bose Sound system and Heated seats.

The only major thing missing are HID's which I'll soon correct hopefully with the group buy being set up by 03ML350

Question

Congrats on your new lease!

Do you mind revealing details of your lease? I’d like to know how much is your monthly payment, down payment, money factor, miles per month, end of lease value, etc…

Here is a link to some pics of the ML when I delivered it to my parents. I got it from Flagship Motors on Route 1 in Lynnfield. They gave me the bow

Very good service.

I put $3000 down, there was a $795 acquisition fee. Money factor was 0.00175 (equivalent to 4.2% APR) and residual was 58% which I think is VERY high for an ML at the end of 39 months.

The payments ended up being $513 including tax/month for 39 months.

So in 39 months, I would have paid $23,800 including sales tax. I don't plan on keeping the car for longer than the lease because by then, the unibody will have come out and I plan on getting one of those for my parents. They NEVER go offroad
