2011 Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates – May 2011

Published by G
1105_mercedez_benz_cl600


April numbers were not released by LeaseCompare last month, so I wasn’t able to post them. However, it doesn’t seem to have mattered since May numbers look similar to March numbers. So I am assuming April was the same as March. This is a good thing because the sale prices have come down significantly since then and the lease rates remain the same.

Just compare the lease between the C300 Sport’s March and May leases and you will see what I mean.


Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2011 Mercedes C300 Sport (36-month)
MSRP – $34,865

2011 Mercedes C300 Sport (48-month)

Sale Price – $30,786

  1. hey there, you guys helped me on the last car

    2011 e350

    my next car i want is a 2011 maserati gran turismo s 4.7

    i know this is a mercedes article but i cant find any info on maserati leasing anywere.

    what i do know is this …

    131k car they are selling it to me for 107k
    with a residual of 48%
    10k miles
    and 42 months
    money factor i dont know ?
    what should my total drive off and my payment look like?
    thx for your help ion advance thx..

  2. I Tryed leaving the Maserati info on the forum but when I click the forum this error pops up

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpbb_captcha_factory in /home/jihlk350/public_html/forum/includes/captcha/captcha_factory.php on line 25

  3. No worries Nick. My forums have been plagued with spammers lately so I am almost at the point of replacing it. Maseratis aren’t a mainstream brand, so I will see what I can do.

    • my blog automatically quarantines posts with links and I have to approve them manually. This is why your post didn’t show up.
      In any case, I have no reason to doubt the deal. However, be aware that $2k down generally doesn’t include your fees. I believe your fees will be another $2k on top of that. Expect something more like $4000 due at signing in order to get the $299 a month (plus tax) on the new E350.

  5. hi G can i get your opinion on that site number1leasing?? kind of seems to good to be true what do you think?

    • I know some folks on this site have leased through them. I also know of one instance where a reader complained about them as well. My opinion is that it all depends on what you are leasing. I would never take anyone’s “advertised” deal at face value because cars come in all sorts of different trims and options. So an advertised price of $299 for a SLK may seems like a steal, but you gotta read the fine print. What’s the residual value? What’s the money factor? DMV fees? Taxes? What’s due at signing? Who’s the lender? You gotta have the details in order to know how much your payments should be. I wouldn’t be scared to contact them and get a quote, just make sure you know what the parameters are regarding your lease and what the ballpark is for your monthlies and your up front payment. The lease formula is still the same even if you lease through a broker, but the sale price and lender rates could be different, so you gotta confirm those things.

      Just remember that advertised payments are generally low because it catches people’s attention. We usually end up paying more because we are looking to get the most equipped car we can get for the lowest price. That is a very unrealistic way of approaching a lease because it generally leads to disappointment.

  6. thanks your right it says clearly on there nav and options are extra but i will check and let u know how it goes. thanks again!

  7. hey G JUST got a quote from them 2011 mb s550 899.00 a month thats without tax of course $2,999 cap cost reduction + $795.00 acq fee + dmv fees i asked to know the residudual value and money factor he stated that those are private and that he sosent even know them and that they put it in a computer and it does it for them with kind of turned me off cause they should know that. what do you recemond seems kind of shady when they cant give me info like that its just part of a deal right!

    • did they ask you for a “commitment” of 500 too look for your car. I wouldn’t mind if it was from a credit card or paypal…however they wanted cash or check….seems sketchy to me. How about they ask me to sign a contract….thats what i feel a commitment is. Im trying to determine if i should work with them, but again without them giving me numbers im not sure and am hesitating to work witht them. anyone have a good experience with number1leasing?

  8. you know what we didnt even get that far because as with any lease before i sign anything i want to see numbers and if i like the deal ill be more than glad to go ahead and fill out gredit apps and such but who dosent give out numbers?? all seems shady and i wouldnt deal with a comp who isnt bbb accredited especially for business over the phone.

    • Speaking of the BBB, I personally don’t put much stock in that organization. It is funded by it’s members, which speak volumes, if you know what I mean.

  9. Without numbers or a particular car, I can’t see how they can truly get a commitment from anyone. It is true that they should know the numbers. Brokers usually partner with dealers that have that information. I have seen the screen dealers use to calculate lease payments and I will tell you that there clearly IS a spot for the residual and money factor. If they won’t provide it I would recommend dealing with someone else who can.

  10. thanks tamr and G. I agree. especially given that even if they found the car i wanted, it should be easily unloaded to somone else even if i pass. does not make sound business sense.

    • I don’t doubt they can get you the car. I mean, they aren’t in the business of running away with your money. However, everyone has their own tolerance when it comes to dealing with certain businesses. I personally would want all the numbers disclosed before committing to anything (as most people should). However, there are people out there that only care about the payments, so as long as those payments fit their lifestyle, they don’t mind not knowing the rest of the numbers. If that works for them, so be it.
