Just curious as I've been thinking of making the upgrade from my E350. Anyone in SoCal recently lease a 2006 E55? If so, would you please care to share with me via PM what your numbers were? Thanks!!

I think there is a big range depending on options, selling price, credit, etc... But I would say probably $1250/low side - $1500/mo. high side...

TREZ63

That with zero down?

Taximan1

no, that would be covering tax,tags, and maybe a little CAP cost reduction... Your talking out the door at about $5k down or so...

MB was offering the $999 lease deal on the E55, but you were talking about $6,500 out the door deposit, on a low option car, low mileage lease (10k/yr.)...

My lease on an '05 with zero down, 39 mo, 15K a year, almost all options and an additional warranty to 100K (will prolly purchase car at the end) runs me $1945 and change. Just an FYI.

Now that sounds about right.

Mine has every option except distronic, phone, and pano.

Sticker was $92,500 (+/- 1000)
I paid $3600 out the door (includes first payment)
39 months
10000 miles per year
0.00125 money factor
Payments are $1090 (includes tax)
Residual is $54500

Hope that helps

Shoulda leased mine through Jangy Leasing Co.
.00125 ?? Is that MB Financial?
$1090 a month? Dayum bro...

Vadim @ FD

E55s are pretty much all gone from dealer's inventories. There a several left, but they are base cars with few options or unpopular colors.

Since we are now in 2007, the residuals have gone down and there is no longer a special money factor from MB Financial.

A comparably stickered 2007 E63 will lease for less than an 2006 E55.

jangy

Yes MB Financial.
Yes $1090/month.
Talking to Jangy before you lease can save thousands. Ask any of the SD Crew that got their cars (or newer ones) since I've been on board.

Vic55

ahhhh the good old days when one could get an AMG Lease with a .00125 money factor, thats the equivalent of 3.00% APR. That may not happen too soon but then again with the sales of the E63 sluggish who knows. I just checked my Manheim numbers and 4 E63's sold in the mid to high 70's with less than 1k in miles. Yes mid to high 70's.


Oh Jangy I see you are SD Crew member #1. Can I be the distant red headed OC cousin number 69?

jangy

Nah, how about you get OC #1?

Vic55

No, I was just joking obviously in the first place. I dont like to assign a number to my existence

2K6E55

That's a very good rate boss.

jangy

I know you were, you snide remarker!!

Brav

damn thats brutal. good information to know. i might consider an E63 if I could get it for closer to 1k a month. I paid 800 even with tax for a 67k E500. Seeing as the cars are so similar, paying a high premium to get nearly the same car doesnt make sense to me. I'll sit and wait patiently..

TREZ63

heh heh, for me sitting and waiting patiently means that I'll wait till 6:30PM tonight I hope you have better control over your urges than I do.

Brav

Hey man long time no see. I remember a while back when I was checkin out your E320. Did you get your CLS already or pickup tonight? Congrat btw.

I have a Smart and a Noble to tide me over, otherwise I'd probably bone out and get one right away.

dakrisht

$1600 / month.

$0 down, except tax and title, etc... (which was about $1200 or so)

2006 E55 AMG, all options, fully loaded, purchased (leased) at Beverly Hills Mercees Benz.

(car MSRP was about $95,000)

sack5000

Will anyone disclose recent E63 lease rates? Around $1,000 can't be possible...can it?

jangy

I got slapped silly the last time I spoke out on this, but i can tell you $1000 per month with no cap reduction on a decently "configured" one is not going to happen. Now, $1300ish, maybe

2K6E55

How many months? and what's % residual at the end of the terms?

Vic55

E63 rates are posted in the Leasing Forum- the problem is there is no subvented rates like there was on the 55 when Jangy made his bold move dumping his older E55.

ShelleE55

$1195 a month list on my was about $92 miles=15K a year through MB finance.

Curious since this is my first time leasing versus buying how do you handle turning in a car w/ mods?
