Finance or Lease?

Benefits of leasing:

Leasing has become extremely popular because it offers a lower-cost way to drive "more" vehicle. The advantages include:

  • Less money down at delivery, leaving you more for alternative investments
  • Lower monthly payments than when buying,
  • You only pay for the time you possess the vehicle, so you may be able to afford a more expensive Mercedes-Benz
  • You can lease a new or pre-owned Mercedes-Benz -- up to eight model years old!
  • Leasing may offer substantial tax advantages (consult with your tax advisor).
  • Whether you drive a little (7,500 miles annually) or a lot (20,000 miles annually), you can tailor your lease to your personal usage
  • At the outset, you will know your lease-end buy-out amount so you can plan your strategy as the end of your lease approaches
  • Leasing your vehicle frees you from lease-end trading-in or selling headaches -- we assume the lease-end risk
  • Ongoing attractive lease-end options from Mercedes-Benz Financial provide you with advantageous alternatives such as early-termination with several months' payments waived and/or excellent lead-ins to buying or leasing another Mercedes-Benz.

Benefits of buying:

Purchasing your vehicle still remains a very wise choice.

  • Due to the well-established resale value of a Mercedes-Benz, buying lets you build equity in your vehicle.
  • If you buy, you can sell your Mercedes-Benz at any time on your terms
  • Insurance limits for liability and property damage can be lower on a purchased vehicle
  • You can modify your purchased vehicle as you wish
  • If you tend to keep your vehicle for several years, you can look forward to years of payment-free driving after your loan is paid.

Early-lease termination:

At the end of your lease, you have basically three choices:

  1. Turn-in the vehicle and walk away
  2. Extend the lease or buy the vehicle for the stated residual value
  3. Roll over into a new or newer Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz Financial continually offers attractive programs to make the second and third alternatives easy and smart. Currently, if you opt to lease a new Mercedes-Benz from Beshoff MotorCars, we will:

  • Forgive up to the final 4 payments on your current lease
  • Forgive the ($595) MBZ disposition (turn-in) fee
  • Forgive up to $500 in wear and tear assessments
  • Provide up to $1500 Loyalty Cash Payment depending on model you select
  • Offer special financing options and cash incentives, if you choose to buy

If you are burning up miles, you can turn the car in up to 4 months early? before you hit the excess mileage limit and save money. Plus you can drive a new Mercedes-Benz sooner at a payment that may be about the same as what you are paying now.

These terms are subject to change. Well before the end of your lease, MBF and dealership staff will contact you to review these alternatives with you. We hope this information has been useful to you. Please contact us immediately with any questions you may have.
