leasing a s550 what is my best option

Hi I am in the market to lease a new s550 for 36 months. I was wondering what is my best option? Should I go for a 2016, 2015 or hunt for a 2014. What would be a good deal? Kindly please share your thoughts!!
I am in the NY metro area.

I don't think you have that many options unless you're taking over someone's lease on swapalease - pretty sure you can only lease a 16 at this point from Mercedes unless they are running late leases on 15s

Lease a 2015 S550. There's about $5,000 in trunk money and another $2,500 in performance cash to the dealer, along with any other discounts your MB store will offer you. The money factor is good and even greater if you do a one pay lease (.00001 buy rate on a one pay) and the residuals are still pretty decent (especially on 4Matics).

Just to keep in mind, 2014 does not have the full COMAND (that Comand Controller touchpad thingy).

i dont think it is possible to lease a 2014 now as the mbfs programmes most certainly would have ended by now. conversely, any dealer should be hot to trot to lease you a 2015; they gotta move that '15 inventory as the '16s are building up.

and i think what true101 means with his statement ^ is that the controller for the comand system changed from '14 to '15 in as much as the '14 did not have the integrated *touchpad* function as it was just introduced for the '15 model year. it is incorrect to say that '14s did "not have the full comand;" of course they did.
