HELP PLEASE regarding lease term

Can I get a S class with a lease term of 12 months or 16 months?? I have tried to ask the dealership and they are saying they cant find any lease programs with these terms lowest is 24 months? Has anyone had a lease for a S class lower than 24 months? Please help I am trying to get the lowest term so in one year I can get the new S class for a possible discount on the 2021 version around this same time when the 2022 will be out.

I'm sure some dealer will, but the payment will be sky high. Why not do the 24 months and in a year or so you can swap it for the W223?

The shortest term is 24 months. Previously you could swapalease a car with a shorter term left but Mercedes has put a hold on the practice during covid (I don't know if that has been lifted).

No more MB:(
Go with a 24, you can likely get out at early. Perhaps even 6 months (if MBFS is running a special) which would put you at 18. 12 month lease would be a total waste of money, buying and trading would probably be cheaper.

You also might try contacting MBUSA directly, explain what you'd like to do and see what they have to say about it. The worst they could say is "no". It just might be worth a try.

I think I will just do the 24. I wanted to switch the car around this time next year to get a better deal on the 2021 models since the 2022 models will be out.
