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.

09 Mercedez-Benz Lease Rates for December 2008

My Take: You probably want to stick with the C, CLK, CLS, E (MAYBE), GL and ML classes this month. Everything else seems like it will cost you far more than you should be paying. The models previously mentioned enjoy a fairly low money factor and a decent residual value. You probably want to opt for the 12k mile leases and maybe extend the lease to 48 month. Unlike BMW, Mercedes Benz seem to lease better in the 36-month and 48-month terms. With Warranty covering up to 48 months, you should be taken cared of in case something happens to your Benzo. Now the question is, do you really want to drive the same car 4 straight years? Personally, I have leased both 36-month and 48-month leases and I find that 48 month leases just a tad “too long”. In 4 years, I tend to find way too many flaws in one car and I end up not enjoying the latter part of my lease. Of course, it if works out in the budget, 48 month isn’t too bad, just keep your miles low (lower than your contracted allowance) and you can probably end your lease in advance by trading it in, you might even get some money back.

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.
