  Wait for the 2012 if one is going to lease due to high residual values. Money factors for mercedes are usually not so good.

Also, this is the first time I am trading in my old Mercedes from lease. Will they get me for mileage wear and tear even if I trade in or can I negotiate that away? Thanks so much, Neil

  Hey marsab73. Unfortunately, Mercedes is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of the 2011 ML350. There's a ton of dealer cash on leftover 2010 models, but they don't have the special lease rates available on them. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

  In New Orleans.. Looking to lease a 2011 Mercedes ML350 with P1, rear entertainment system.. Is there a better time of the year to get a lease on these than others?

  Hi lou2007. The truck that you're interested in probably has a spread of around $3,800 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. That puts the $3,300 dealer discount that you were quoted at around $500 over invoice...which is a very good deal.

However, logically, Mercedes-Benz will lower their residuals the next month, because 2010 models are getting older - which is bad news for leasing, because your monthly payment will be higher.

  Usually, Mercedes-Benz Financial has massive specials in November/December to close the year. Another good time is during model change f.e from 2010 models to 2011 - usually happens around August-September. But don't get worried, that you have to wait the whole year to get good deals, because from month to month they always put some specials on some certain models - you just need to watch.
