36 month residual is 64% for 15,000 miles! Add 2 for 12,000 miles, Add 3 for 10,000 miles and 4 for 7,500 miles!
National Ad is $329 per month with 2,900 down plus all fees. 36/10k miles. This is based on a P1 car and Becker Map Pilot vehicle. That MSRP is $33,925.
These numbers are pretty good . Is 36 months the best option for residual value ? I know 30 months was the best alternative earlier this year when we leased an ML. Pricing out the edition 1 at MSRP you're pretty much at $500 for 10k/36 months ... Plus tax of course .
Give the guy a break , he's just trying to be helpful ( and I'm sure , sell some cars) . I got the rates when I called to another dealership , so it's not like he's the only one giving out this info . I'm sure if we all pick up the phone now and call around 9/10 dealerships will give is the numbers .
Your going to want to do either a 15k or 20k lease. If so the residual for 15k is 64% and its 59% for 20k with money factor of .00162. Also the lease special is factored on $3,623 down

Again my customers were BLOWING up my phone from their sources. I didn't even see the bulletin yet. All bulletins are always kept confidential. I always find it funny how consumers know before dealerships.
With 15k-18k question it's simple run the numbers. 20k residual lowers by 5 points. 19,999 miles holds the 15k residual. You are buying the miles now at 20 cents verses 25 at the end.?
JPMBenz - thanks for all the posts - very helpful! Does MB also offer the additional discounted mile purchase after the lease has started or is this option only available at inception?
All Im wondering is how much I have to put down total to keep it under 300 or between 300 and 330.
When you get those rates you have to put money down AND sales tax, title, and all those things.
To get those numbers I want Im wondering what TOTAL money I have to come up with on the spot, including all the taxes and title fees the dealer is going to make me pay with the car instantly.
Use one of the many car lease calculators you can find online , you know the residual and the money factor , so it's all a matter of putting in your Final price and press calculate. That way you can play around with the numbers and see what you can afford .
Hi, thank you for everyone sharing information here.
I was talking to my MB dealer today who essentially confirmed the rates that were posted in this forum. I am planning on putting an order, but was wondering how much (if any) the residual value (e.g. 67% for 36 months) could change given the order will take 8-12 weeks to complete and the lease program changes month to month. Of course, I was just looking for some past general MB experience since we don't have any experience with the CLA.
