How to Get Mercedes to Early Terminate Lease

Guys, is there any way to get MB Financial to drop the last 4 payments of my lease? I'm having a lot of trouble! I'm going into a new car, an SL 550 and have 4 payments left on my CLK, but my new SL comes in next week!!!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

They may do 3 months providing your leasing another new MB. Check with MBFC and or your dealership, as this will vary dependant on the new lease terms MB is offering at the time. When I leased my 06E55 it had the early termination provision which covered 3 mos.

Thanks, but they are telling me NO! MB Financial won't do anything for me. I'm trying to work with MB USA now, but so far no luck. My dealership is working on it also, but nothing yet and I have 1 week left till the car arrives! Getting nervous! HELP!!!

Exactly. I'm sure the dealer will work it out with MBF once they realize it's stopping you from taking delivery.
