2012 s350

Haven't done much research but how is the s350. Does it come in 4matic, and for that matter what about a diesel.
Since a new version is coming out for 2014 is it better to lease or take the hit on depreciation. I drive about 15 K per year.
Thanks

Don't know where you're located, but in the US the S350 Bluetec comes standard with 4 Matic. Lease rates are pretty good on the 350 right now too. With the best rates coming in at 27 months, I say lease and upgrade to the new model when those become more competitive (in about 27 months time)!

Just build one on the MBUSA site, check out the payment estimator, and subtract from the cap cost depending on how savvy of a negotiator you are. I'm not doing your homework for you man... but I will tell you: well equipped ~1300 (once again, all depends on your ability to negotiate)
