2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class, E-Class Lease Rates – March 2010

Published 2010/03/102010/04/01 by G

logo_benz My Take: C-Class Money Factors have been slashed by about half and residuals remain steady. You are pretty much guaranteed a lower monthly payment compared to February at this point, so feel free to visit your local Benz dealer and inquire about the Cs. There isn’t any cash floating around for the Cs, but hitting invoice or below shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. Lets take this scenerio for an instance. MSRP 37035, Invoice 34504, Sale price is 33763 (which is invoice minus 2% holdback, leaving 1% for the dealer). Monthly payments would be $383 + tax with inception fees due at signing (roughly estimated to be about $2000). This is for a 36mo/12k mile per year term. Compared to last month, you are saving about $50 per month. Not too shabby.

As for the E-Class. It remains relatively unchanged, with the exception of the coupes. I don’t expect the E-Class to improve any time during it’s first year run. If you want one of these, you still have to pay a premium.

2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Lease Rates – February 2010

Published 2010/02/092010/02/10 by G

logo_benz My Take: For the most part, the E-Class remains unchanged with the sedans. The coupes, on the other hand, have reduced money factors which should reduced the monthly payments somewhat. Still nowhere near a “deal” if you ask me.

2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/082009/12/14 by G

logo_benz My Take: You guessed it! Same insanely high money factors. Please refrain from asking me if your E-Class deals is a good deal. Anyone paying .00259 or higher MF is NOT getting a good deal, so you don’t need to bother asking. I’m not saying you shouldn’t get the car you love, I’m just saying you are overpaying.

logo_benz My Take: Bummer huh? Not exactly what you were hoping for I bet. Well, the E-Class gets no love this month, and I suspect that MBFS is going to keep it like this through early January. Hang in there, sooner or later, they will have to drop it since this car can’t stay “new” forever.

09 Mercedes Benz E-Class Lease Rates – June 2009

Published 2009/06/10 by G

logo_benz My Take: The residual values on the E-Class are questionable at this point, but the money factors look good (0.432% APR on the E350 Sport). That’s literally just a few bucks of interest every month. There is $6000 in dealer cash available for those who finance through MB Financial, so make sure to take that into consideration when you make your offer to your dealer. I think the E350 Sport is an excellent Lease-to-Buy candidate since most of your money is going towards the car instead of the interest. With the 2010 Es rolling into dealerships now, it looks to me that MBZ may start trying to move them.

09 Mercedes Benz E-Class Lease Rates – May 2009

Published 2009/05/11 by G

logo_benz My Take: It has become pretty clear that MB does not want their cars back within 24 months anymore, so their best leases are going for either 36 months or 48. For the E-Class this month, you’ll notice that the 24-month leases have gotten hit with a 2% residual value drop while the 36 and the 48 month rates have stayed pretty much the same as last month. You will also notice a slight increase in the money factor (.00014) for the 4matic sedans. My recommendation would be to do a “Lease-to-Buy” on the E350 Lux or Sport, no money down, just inception fees. Another thing is to keep in mind is that they have redesigned the E-Class for the 2010 model year, I don’t have to tell you what that means.

2009 Mercedes E-Class

09 Mercedes Benz E-Class Lease Rates – April 2009

Published 2009/04/10 by G

logo_benz My Take: The E-Class Bluetec, Wagon and AMG models have a DO NOT LEASE recommendation this month due to low residual and high money factors. It doesn’t really come as a surprise since that’s been the case for months now. If you plan to lease, stick with the sedans. Remember, the majority of MBs have extremely low residual values compared to the competition, which is normally a bad thing in the leasing world. The good news is that MB Financial also has the tendency of offering exceptionally low money factors. These conditions make them great candidates for “lease-to-own” because most of your payments go towards the principal of the loan. When it comes time to end the lease, the residual value will be fairly low, making the decision to buy the car at lease-end (should you choose to) an easier one. I will spend some time this month explaining the whole “lease-to-own” concept once I am done posting most of April’s lease rates. Going back to the E-Class, there is $6000 dealer cash available for those who finance through MB Financial. There is also 0.9% financing for up to 66 months! This makes purchasing quite attractive if you think about it. You could pay 0.9% for 66 month and own the car at the end of your loan, OR you could pay 0.432% for 48 months, then make a balloon payment of the remaining 38% of your residual value in order to avoid paying interest. Tough call, I guess it all depends on whether you can afford to pony up that much cash at lease end. Of course, you can simple walk away and hop into another new Benz (ahh, the joys of leasing!). Lastly, the 2010 E-Class should be out soon (complete with brand new square headlights!) so I suspect some good discounts should be attainable on the 2009 model.

DO NOT LEASE

09 Mercedez Benz E-Class Lease Rates – March 2009

Published 2009/03/14 by G

logo_benz My Take: The E-Class Mercs are excellent candidates for “Lease To Buy”. They feature a low residual value and a low money factor, meaning most of your payments will be going towards the car, not the interest rate. If you want low upfront payments, reasonable monthly payments and an option to not buy the car at lease end, this car just might be for you. There is a whopping $6000 in dealer cash available and 0.9% financing for up to 66 months for the E350. What’s even cooler is that you can combine both of them. For leasing, there’s $4000 lease cash available from MBF (Remember that for Mercs, you want to go with the 48-month leases for the lowest possible payments) Personally, I really like the E-Class since it’s luxurious, spacious and one of the better luxury family sedans out there.
