2009 Mercedes Benz G, GL, GLK Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_benzMy Take: GLK and the G are a big NO-NO this month, just look at the money factors. The GL looks much better but there aren’t any cash rebates to help with the lower-than-ideal residual value. It is safe to say that the “glory days” of auto leasing are officially over. You will start finding fewer models with attractive lease offerings from now on, which makes doing your research that much more important if you wish to continue leasing.

09 Mercedes Benz G, GL Lease Rates – May 2009

logo_benzMy Take: The GL is currently a better lease than the G. Sure, they are both slightly different rides which cater to different crowds, but they are both SUVs which server similar functions. I think the GL450 is probably a good balance of price, residual and money factor compared to the other two trims.

09 Mercedes G, GL, ML, R Lease Rates – March 2009

logo_benzMy Take: Of the whole lot, I just like the ML320s rates. As I mentioned last month, the ML320 is not exactly available in large volume because it is a diesel. However, I think this car’s lease rates look best compared to the other SUVs and Wagons in Merc’s lineup. This is definitely a “lease to buy” candidate (like most Mercs) and it also cheapest when you lease it at 48 months inteast of 36. There are no cash/rebate incentives on the ML, but there is special 0.9% financing for up to 66 months if you intend to buy the car. Not too bad if you ask me. I think Merc is really willing to drop prices to move cars right now. If you thumb through the forums, you’ll notice JoeBean getting about 3k under invoice on his C350, so keep that in mind when you visit your Merc dealer.

DO NOT LEASE 09 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates for January 2009

MY TAKE: Here are the remaining Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates that I don’t recommend. Clearly, you can see why. The residual values are either terrible or the money factor is sky high. Then, you have a combination of both crap residuals and crap money factors. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you why I don’t recommended the following cars. Keep in mind that these recommendations do not reflect my personal feelings towards these rides. I won’t say no to a C63 AMG or a SLK55 AMG. All I am saying is that if you plan on getting into any of these rides, buy them, don’t lease them.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz Models To Avoid

My Take: Here’s a list of the “bad” 09 Mercedes Benz leases. If you are looking to lease any of the following cars, you may want to rethink that if you are shopping for a deal. Poor residual value and/or high money factors are never a good combination, even if you manage to get the dealer to lease the car at below invoice price. There’s just way too much interest and/or too much depreciation that even cash discounts can’t overcome, so try to avoid the following cars.

September 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Mercedes Benz CL, CLK, CLS, G, R, S and SL-Class

My Take: Rest of the MB line-up looks pretty bad. There is some lease support on the CLK350, but that’s about it. The rest of lineup boasts really low residual values and higher than average money factors.

* Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms
** Rates provided by Tarry Shebesta from Leasecompare.com

My Take: The vehicle enjoying the lowest MF on this list is the R350. The rich (wo)man’s station wagon, as I like to call it. These MB’s residual value are rather low overall, so they are hardly a bargain.

My Take: The Gs and GLs are a bunch of pimped up crossovers. There is practically no lease assistance from MB with the exception of a somewhat reduced money factor on the low-end GLs. If you got the money and need a crossover, you might as well get a Mercedes Benz. Just be aware that built-quality isn’t job #1.
