Leasing SL600: Approx pricing?

So...getting close to a decision here.

SL600, price will be around $130K.

I'm tier one credit and figuring a .0350 money factor, about what should I expect to pay on a lease per month with, say:

$15K down
$25K down

I've tried searching online at various sites, but they are vague and all want me to quote on specific cars using personal information so that their dealers can start calling me (to sell me on something else, since few dealers actually have a black/stone combination on the lot).

BTW: Thanks to all who have helped me get this far...your help is much appreciated.

SL500 and A-CLASS
If you rather want to own your car, try www.bankrate.com and https://www.penfed.org/index.asp for a 5-year loan for about the same monthly payment as a 3 year lease. The loan is a 100K max.

Craig,
i leased a used SL600 which i got for 108K; my lease payments are about 1690 / month including all taxes, registration, etc, etc, with nothing down except first months payment. I leased via ACS corp whose link is http://www.acscorp.com/
http://www.leasecompare.com/

I got an excellent deal through them, that was about $200/month less than what mercedes could offer me; it was a 4 year lease with 15 K miles/ year. Even my MB salesperson said to take that offer over mercedes. I figure with your down payment of 25K, your payment will be similar to mine. Send me a PM or email if you have any questions and i will put you in touch with my lease contact. Good luck...

something fast
If you check on the mbusa website, with a 39 month lease on a base sl600 132,000 msrp with 15k down its 2000 a month and with 25k down its 1775. Their website quotes are always higher than what you will get if you walked into the store, it just give you a general idea. I dont think it includes tax, tag, title, etc. I have a excel spreadsheet lease calculator which you can add in on the variables, down payment, msrp, residual, tax, and money factor. Its pretty good, I will email it to you. You can check in the leasing section for residual values for the sl600.
