Hello,

I am currently in the market to lease a new E-class. I am not too familiar with Mercedes leases and tried to search for information about lease deals to find a fair deal but I can't seem to find any information on this forum. Ive been a long time BMW owner, and its fairly common practice in the BMW community/ forums to have a pricing thread where consumers can share their lease deals (residual/money factor etc). Is this not common practice on Mercedes forums? I just can't seem to find the base money factor and residual rates for the life of me. Sorry if this post is offending. Thanks again for taking the time to read this thread.

I just got an e-mail from my local MB dealer. Here are their current lease deals: 2016 E350 - $649/36 months, 2017 E300 - $569/36 months, 2017 E300 4 Matic - $589/36 months, 2017 AMG E43 - $799/36 months.
This is for Seattle Washington.

Why would the 2016 E350 cost more per month to lease than the 2017 E300?

Don't ask me ask the dealer. Mercedes Benz of Lynnwood, Washington, just north of Seattle.

I just leased an E300 for 495 a month. 1700 inceptions, 6000 MSD. 62k MSRP, E300 4Matic with Premium 1 and sports wheels package.

It all depends on the pricing set by MB each month, length of lease, along with dealer's inventory and need to move the vehicle. I custom ordered mine and took delivery in October (timing it when my lease return was due), so there wasn't really any special pricing since it was so new. Mine stickered at $69K-ordered it with the dual LED screen (Highly suggest this-it puts the E in a whole different class). However, you must order additional things to be able to get this, such a the P3 package.

With zero drive off (nothing out of my pocket), 36 months, 15K miles, 10K mi service plan, $830 a month including tax/license.

I usually get much better pricing with MB, but my two previous E's were leased during mid-model v. being a re-design. I was also strongly considering the Tesla Model S, but when looking at how horrible their lease plan was I decided paying a little more than normal on my monthly for the new E wasn't all that bad.

Hope this helps.

Unless you're a dealer why would you even respond with a stupid comment like this. The point of this forum is to help and learn. It's extremely helpful to people in the market to hear of other's lease deals. Would you not want to get the best deal you can?
