If you thought an EQS was unreliable, wait until you get into a loaded AMG.
Your loaner will be underwater, not your actual leased vehicle. /s
Can’t transfer out of a MB Lease anyway, it shouldn’t really matter unless the 
was always the planned exit.
What happened to the 12 month s class leases
It’s been replaced with your approach of a 24 month lease with a lemon-exit in month 13.
This is where I am at right now. There is no out.
didn’t you just get a Lexus?
Yes but it’s already got equity. It’s a great truck but the tech is dreadful.
It also depends on the dealer wanting to move the lot rot on these. We know out of the 350+ dealers there might be only a small percentage that want to play ball. Let’s face it the cars are already built and sitting, with over 500 on lots across the country. Maybe next year they hold back some production but that’s something for MB to worry about. Almost the same scenario happened last year when I purchased my SL63, then MB slowed down.
But yes, I think you’re right on the subsided EV part of it.
The 4 year term is what gets me thinking a hard “NO” lol. And like theduke said we will be underwater most of the lease. We don’t want to follow the consumer market, but we want to lead the market. And that’s why we all come to this great place in LH to have these brainstorm sessions to share that brotherly community love when the dealer tries to take advantage of us.
I guess I meant - how did you get out of whatever your old car was and into the Lexus?
For real, leasing ICE is where the challenge is. I wish there were more threads like this one where people try and hack ICE. But I think this site railroaded so many users making fun of them for wanting ICE. So now all that’s left are some EV fanatics.
These hacked EV leases are depressing since they’re not really hacks. The EV stuff is just ways for an average user (not @djrabbi or Z0lt3c - since their hacks are absurd). For many of the other EV leases, they appear to be “bargains” when it’s really just a fairly priced appliance that nets the automaker an EV clean air credit.
New challenge unlocked

Dude you missed it last year when the GT63S 4-door was almost 30% off. GT43 makes no sense.
Well said at the end my friend!
I love the @djrabbi hacks, it’s insane what he pulls off. Dealerships are starting to send out his phone number across the country and block him because he makes them the offer and they have no choice but to say yes.
@djrabbi - I have a new tag line for you for when you talk with a dealer…
“Godfather of Lease Hacking” making dealerships an offer they can’t refuse lol
Yes - true - that was $1,200 - this should be $700 lol
IMO, I don’t think you’d take a GT43 for $700 a month.
I would - paying $742 for a eqs lollllll
It’s almost snowy offramp season!
@z0lt3c is too coy and I’m too stupid. But if Ciocca has any appetite to play ball, they also recently dealer-swapped a GT43 from their PA showroom to NJ (basically same aged stock as the GLE53 mentioned here)
$700 GT43 incoming???
Flemington also has this loaner GT53 that they got from Latham/Keeler in May 2024 (I have no clue WTF they’re doing at this dealership).

21% off and can’t move it: AutoAction Mercedes November DEMO BLOWOUT! | 30% OFF EQS - $509 | EQS 580 @ 27% OFF | EQE AMG | GA and FL RESIDENTS ONLY - #7 by AutoActionSales
The RV on the old AMG GT Sedan is garbage, I dont think itll work. Youre at over 1k/month even with 30% off. 40% 48/10, 48% 36/10.
I did think about the GLE 63s since theres a couple at a local dealer, its just under 1k/month pre tax with 30% off, but it doesnt really offer anything my HC doesnt. Fuel economy is probably just as bad too.
