are they there yet? the 2-year lease models should be floating in - right?

edmunds trade-in prices are pretty close of the Manheim so it's a ballpark reference you can use and subtract a 1,000 or so... when i bought mine, this was pretty spot on

7 sold at Mannheim auctions since November. These typically don't end up at Manheim. They end up at other lease auctions like Adesa.

It's hard for a consumer look at auction prices, since they generally don't ever account for fees, shipping, title work and any kind of reconditioning needed.

I had a 2004 E55 that I bought used, and I was never able to find one through my best friend, who is a wholesaler, so I ended up just buying through the dealer.

I now have a 2013 E63 that I leased when new, and just bought it out of the lease.

I almost bought a used 2014 myself, but just couldn't find the options I wanted. I might wait for the 2017 or get a 2018.

you will likely start to see some pop up starting in the summer, which will be some of the "pull forward" cars getting new MBs. I recently ordered a new MB and they will dissolve my remaining lease payments when my new ride arrives (will only be 2 or so months early). I am going to guess my car will end up on the lot as a CPO, and as someone else mentioned, finding one at a 3rd party dealer or Manheim that came off lease is generally going to be a bad sign or a high mileage vehicle. Not always the case, but usually is.
