Look mate, you are probably right. However, you don’t see a lot of MB activity on this forum for a reason. Average here is 1% off MSRP. That means a lot of people get cars with monthly <1% of the MSRp. In your case, you are wayyy above that bench-mark.
SAL would be your better option to try to get rid of the car.
We’re aware you’re already taking a bath on this through front cost and tires of course, Your loss is the next persons gain which is why I said GLWT in my first post as good vibes.
Don’t think ‘63 are possible to hack in the 1% region outside of an extraordinary discount off MSRP. The star (MBZ) isn’t exactly known for giving away their cars like BMW does (much to our fortune)
From what I’m seeing, I’m the only one to achieve the 1% rule with Mercedes AMG. My 79K C63 out the door was $850 per month including tax @ 15K per year. If someone has seen better let me know lol
MBFS is notoriously difficult with lease transfers, requiring that (basically) the person you’re transferring the lease to have the same if not better credit (score, history, DTI etc.) and the same if not higher income than you. More than likely those who applied would have been approved if they bought new.
