Good Deal or Not?

It seems not many forum members like to discuss lease terms that they made.Would someone like to voice there opinion on if this is a great deal?
2008 ml 63 MSRP is 94005.00
My cost is 88079.00
Lease is 33 months at 1500 per month including tax
15000 miles per year
1st month and registation is the money I put down
Somone please voice there advice....
thanks

That's a fair deal...

Mercedes current subsidized money factor is .0016 and the 33 month residual is set at 52%, so with the discount offered to you about 6.3%, the payment before tax would be $1,407. I dont know where you live or what your tax rate is. If your sales tax rate is about 6.6%, then 1,500 would be the right payment.
You won't find a lower money factor and the residual isn't negotiable, so your only bargaining chip for a lower payment is discount/purchase price. Depending on demand in your area, you could/should be able to get more discount...

I bought instead

Decided against leasing this time. $2,400/month on a 36 month purchase at 6%.

The interest rate your paying is 3.86%, basically equivalent to the .0016 money factor lingo. 3.86% is always a good rate, so good that you know they're making money on the price or your trade in, 'cause they're not making money on the financing
