2010 Mercedes Benz G, GL, GLK, ML, R Lease Rates – March 2010

Published 2010/03/122010/03/12 by G

logo_benz My Take: Nothing really stands out as a “WOW” this month. Numbers have come down on some models (like the GLK350), so it may be a good time to drop by your MBZ dealer and check things out. I remember when the GLK numbers were down right insulting, now they are more civilized. The rest of the bunch aren’t too bad, just avoid the ones with 0.00200+ money factors and you’ll be in good shape.

On a different note, MBZ sales are dragging according the Dave Persaud, who recently went over to MBZ of Long Beach from LB BMW. The situation is so bad right now that switching industries isn’t out of the question. Maybe right now is the time to move in and take advantage of some of the better deals out there (I’m really digging the C-Class right now as a lease). I personally hope him (and others like him) stick around, but the auto industry as a whole is really suffering due to unemployement and the overall state of the economy.

2010 Mercedes Benz CL, CLS, R, S, SLK Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/08 by G

logo_benz My Take: My wife decided that her favorite MB is the CL. She bounced around between the CLS and the CL, but in the end, she thought the styling of the CL was more appealing to her. That’s rather strange considering she doesn’t like 2-door vehicles. LOL. Anyway, some minor changes on the lease rates here, but for the most part, the same. The CLS550 gets s drop in money factor and that’s about it. Word of advice, anything that has a 0.00200 MF or higher and low residual should be avoided.

Published 2009/11/092009/11/10 by G

logo_benz My Take: Not reall feeling the rest of the 2010 MB line up. Either the residuals are too high low or the the MF is too low high…or both. Sad to say, but feel free to skip these this month. You aren’t really missing much.

2009/2010 Mercedes Benz ML, R, CLK, SL, SLK Lease Rates – September 2009

Published 2009/09/08 by G

logo_benz My Take: I’ve picked out some of the following models as “decent” leases for the month. As usual, the leases with high residual values (.00200+) should be avoided. Those above .00100 may need some MSDs to make them a bit more affordable. Residual values for all Mercedes Benz are typically fairly low, so don’t expect any crazy-cheap leases. Don’t forget to do a little shopping for comparable models from other brands to see if its worth the extra cash to be seen in a Benz.

Here are some of the notable models you should probably look into:

ML350, ML350 4matic, R350, CLK Convertibles, SL550 and non-AMG SLKs.

I might consider doing away with “THE LIST” since there haven’t been CAN’T-MISS deals lately. The 2009 E-Class, 2009 3-series, 2009 Acura TL and 2009 C350 were probably the best all-around deals this year. Other honorable mentions are the G37, Accord and Camry. As you can see, most of the better deals occured in the 1st half of the year (which I consider the best time to lease), so you probably won’t be seeing great deals on the 2010 until sometime next year.

2010 Mercedes Benz CL, CLS, R, S Lease Rates – August 2009

Published 2009/08/132009/09/04 by G

logo_benz My Take: The remaining 2010 MY Mercedes models are nothing to sing about this month. Low residual, high money factor pretty much puts them out of the auto leasing landscape. What is notable, however, is the presence of a Hybrid in the S-Class lineup. Looks like MB has decided to join Lexus in the luxury Hybrid market. I still wouldn’t lease them though.

UPDATE: CLS models are getting $3000 cash towards a purchase this month.

09 Mercedes Benz R, S, G Lease Rates – July 2009

Published 2009/07/15 by G

logo_benz My Take: This is like my list of rejected Mercedes Benz leases for the month. Some models try (like the S550), but for the most part they don’t try hard enough. I guess you could try leasing a S550 4matic, which looks like the better option in this whole list, but why? If you have the money to be looking at a S-Class, why just buy it?

* 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.

June 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Mercedes Benz R-Class

* 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 residual value for the R-Class is rather sad. It’s a wagon after all, what can I say. One look at the Dodge Magnum sales figures and you will understand why wagons are not popular these days. This is reflected in the residual values of the R-Class. MB seems to be offering very good money factors to offset the cost of having to pay over 50% of a R-Class in 36 months. My only recommending here is not to lease the R-Class. In our times, the crossover SUV’s is where it’s at. SUV cargo space, 5+ adult seating, fuel efficient (compared to larger SUVs) and optional 4×4, even if you don’t need it. It’s like having your cake and eating it too.
