Hey guys….
I have a eqs lease ending next Sept, but hoping to switch back to a gas/hybrid car as soon as possible, it’s a great car, but never really loved it..
At what point would I be able to work out some sort of pull ahead program with either MB or other makes? is it going to be challenging with none MB dealers since the market price of those cars are well below the initial RV?
Thanks!
Many have stated that the pull ahead incentive has ended, but MB use to allow you to turn your lease in 3 months early, if you lease a new vehicle. Obviously, you need to be sure that the dealership isn’t rolling your remaining lease term into your new vehicle. I am going to pull ahead in November, so I will let you know how it goes.
No pull ahead.
Dealers like to claim one, but its just them rolling negative equity into your next lease
Edit : Mercedes has a new pull ahead specific for Sept 2025
Mercedes currently have a 5 month pull ahead program for EVs but your lease must mature before March 2026. If your lease is beyond that then you would need a crystal ball to tell if Mercedes will offer it in the future. With that said, they are likely to continue to offer 3 months given past trends.
AFAIK that’s targeted.
And last person to get one was back in 2024.
There’s either a pull-ahead program or there’s not. No bank, as far as I have seen here, does a one-off pull ahead deal for a specific individual.
Not sure what you mean by targeted but a good portion of people would qualify for this. The only qualifier is that you need a lease maturing by March 2026
Ok it’s not called Pull Ahead but loyalty Accelerator and started on 9/3
Looks like it just started and is to move some BEVs
Wow this is complicated: It looks like if you terminate your lease before 9/30 and have at least 3 months left do you qualify.
So OP who ends in Sept isn’t qualfied @CLS who wants to wait until Nov isn’t qualified either
But wow that’s a short window.
But I now know there is an active Pull Ahead of 3 or 5 months.
may I know where this link is from? I’m in the market and my lease will end in March 2026. But I don’t know if my lease qualifies on this offer and MBFS just said contact dealer for more details.
If its an ev its 5 months, if gas its 3 months
Thanks! mine is EQS so that’s 5 months. My understating is that basically this is for everyone and regardless of dealer or the new vehicle you lease? Is there any other requirement (such as things like pre-approval, dealer contribution)? I’m planning to negotiate price first with dealer without mentioning this to make things easier. Don’t want to surprise them or myself at finally step if there are some requirements for pull ahead offer.
Thanks for all the input! Hopefully the programs will still be there in six/seven months.. don’t love the car, but not gonna pay too much extra to get rid of it.
Everyone was talking about mb(within the same make) specifically.. but also wondering if there have been cross-make incentives? Maybe not? the remaining balance has to come out of someone’s pocket, seems too optimistic to think that something like BMWFS or a dealership would just eat to cost, that’ll just be calculated as negative equity, right?
There is some 1000 incentives called conquest incentives, but thats about it.
