Hello,

Lease on my e500 will expire in one month. I want to lease an S550 (time to move on to a bigger car).
I wanted to know how much people are paying for a lease: 36 months 10-12K miles per year and what is the drive off they've put down.
I've talked to several dealers and they say December is the best month to lease (end of the year). Do you guys have any opinions on that subject?

Thanks.

 

I always lease a new sedan every 3-4 years,and i write it off between the 3 companies i own.Here is my last one i did...08' S550 4Matic Sport,very well equiped.15,000 MILES a year,nothing down(0 dollars)42 months,payment $1454 @month.Buyout at end of lease is $31,000.

 

forgot to mention car had a msrp of $103,000.

 

Did you still pay first month and dmv fees or nothing out of the pocket at all?
Anyone else has the numbers for 36 months?
Thanks.

 

i have had the car since April '08 and cant remember ,but i think i had to make the first payment before driving it home.The figure also includes tax.Other than that no out of pocket expenses.

 

I just got an e-mail from my dealer. Here is what he says:
On a loaded S class with these parameters you are looking to pay more than $2000 a month. Will it get better by $100 to $200 Maybe. Will it get to where you want to $1500? I can't see how. I don't think that you will see the S, SL and CL being under $1600 in the near future.
What do you guys think?

 

I think you can do better, here is an example of what a dealer emailed me on some leftover 08's with much higher msrps! note the cl 550, this dealer is in the midwest, but i know of a good dealer in cali, if you are interested pm and i will hook you up with the dealer.
