I got a lease quote.

[Norris]

FYI, as a point of comparison.
36 months
10,000 miles
$449/month
$4250 drive-off

IMO, the miles are too low, and the drive-off too high.
What do you guys think? This is in central CA.
Thanks,

Sorry, it's mostly greek to me, but this is what I found in the 'lease' thread:

Lease information as of 7/23:

36 months and 7.5k miles have a residual of 48%
36 months and 10k miles have a residual of 47%
36 months and 12k miles have a residual of 46%

The money factor for all three options are .00160

The $7500 federal credit is applied as a cap cost reduction

The lease acquisition fee is $795

*the car DOES qualify for a $1,000 fleet incentive*

What do you guys think?

Certainly better than the $650/month deal stevepl got (http://www.mybclasselectricdrive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=283#p283) with only $500 more out of pocket (I'm counting trade-in as cash).

It is dead on for my estimate for $5k down and 12k mi/yr. based on residual $22k and Money Factor of 0.0016 for my order.

FWIW...I was given an "early" quote of $449/month and $2950 down (although the quote did not cover intended options and their cost, and did not specifically mention lease term or maximum miles).

It does sound like a good deal and I agree, I did NOT get the best deal, although my starting price with options was $49,300.

Go for it.

10,000 miles a year is simply silly. I've been averaging about 14,500 on my Leaf on a 15,000 mile lease.

Before I signed up for 45,000 miles over three years, I'd want to know the warranty. Is it 3 year / 50k miles?

MB, like most luxury brands, is usually 4 years/50K, unlike Nissan's 3 years/36K...
