Somebody want to take over my lease?



I have the itch to get something new and was wondering if there was any interest in someone taking over my lease? I'm thinking $8k or obo and you just take over the lease.

Currently have 42months remaining on my lease (5yr lease). Monthly is 1194.90 before tax. 7500miles allowed and I am currently 3106 miles under the limit.

This is the first time I'm trying to see if anyone would want to take over my lease (+$8k obo). If there's no interest I'll just keep the car, not the end of the world to be stuck with a nice SL.

2007 50th Anniversary Edition
10,116 miles on the clock
2 sets of wheels - 20" Carlsson BE 1/11 and the stock wheels.
Carlsson lowering module
Uber Optik 60% tint on all windows
Clear Bra'd
V1 Radar Detector hardwired included
50th Edition luggage
Bluetooth module
2 sets of floor mats...one says AMG to get dirty and the other one says 50th Edition.

PM or email (itzkirb@gmail.com) me if you have any questions or an offer

Thanks

Would zero down and take over lease make more sense?

$2.5k down and take over lease?

$5k down and take over lease?

I know there are deep discounts on SL's now so I'm almost willing to take ZERO and only offer the stock wheels.

Just trying to get a sense of what is reasonable?

Thanks

I think you are asking way too much. Zero down would be alot better. Even with that, evidently some SL's are leasing for $900/mo with a little down.....it is the downside of them updating the style this next year and then again in 2 years. The car will be 2 updates old by the time the lease comes out and noone is going to want to be paying $1200/month then.

That is why I always really wanted to lease but pretty much no car stays the same for even 3 years anymore (AKA the life of a lease).....some sort of restyle is done and you are paying top dollar price for an old model.

I would think you wouldn't have too much of a problem getting 1200/month w/nothing down from a buyer.

mjr24...

please tell me where the 900.00+ deals can be found.

last night, i made a tentative SL550 lease deal for my GF with <2,000 down for 1450.00 / 39 mo / 10k mi on a 110k car. i thought that was fairly good. if not, then please tell me otherwise.

thanks very much.

You are paying the $1400/mo because the MSRP was $110k.

Are most dealers not getting rid of new SL's for 85-90 now?

Itzkirb,

I think your revised offer is very competitive against other leaseswaps out there. If you haven't already, see what 07 550s are offered for on leasetrader.com.

BTW, I received the SL print off your site a couple of months ago. Your transaction provider did a good job. It looks great framed and hanging in the garage.

OK, anyone interested in just assuming the lease? PM me if you or anyone you know is interested.

What I find the most surprising is people buying new SL550's for $110k. That's SL65 AMG money!
