you could do a 4s or a gts if you get a good deal.

Much as I dig that E, for the same coin I’d pick a Porsche all. Day. Long.

I agree, too bad a panamera turbo pushes $2k+ lol. Not a fan of the old panamera rear but the new one fixed that issue.

24

When I put the Vin into the penfed calculator the RV came back at $34,575.00
Also the msrp showed up at $84,765.00

25

Hey I’m no desktop support guy for PenFed. :rofl:

So skip the VIN and just input the numbers manually?

26

Lol yea I was just showing what it showed me for general info in case it was helpful.

This is what I got from penfed :slightly_smiling_face:

Not sure either. Had to look this term up “rent charge” :sweat_smile:

That residual looks way too low.

31

If you are referring to the PenFed residual, they don’t inflate them like the captives do. They’re a bit more realistic.

Had to create a second account to post this.

Waiting for feedback on the Edmunds forum to post here. I also asked the dealer.

At this dealer it seems like a straight discount of $10k+

Here are the dealer details regarding the lease:
Cash sale price: $79,000
Vehicle MSRP: $89,795
Total/Adjusted cap cost: $79,000
MF: 0.00233 (correct missing zero)
Res. Factor: 53%
RV: $47,591.35
Customer cash: $6,458.67

Lease payment: $1,167.42
Term: 36 months

Here are more details on the build:

MF almost has to be a typo. Need another zero, I think. But even so it’s crazy high, combined with a terrible RV, making it nigh impossible to get a decent payment, even if there was a great discount.

In other words, AMG models are quite difficult to hack.

What would make this a “good deal”?
What RV would make this good/decent?
What lease price would be good/great/reasonable?(Haven’t ever leased or considered it.)

MF was off by a zero :sweat_smile:

36

So what’s the MF?

37

In my mind, there will be no good deals on this model, since, as mentioned before, at the payment of $1,350, you have big options for models that lease a little friendlier. Think non-AMG MB, Panamera, loaded 540i, maybe M550.

It doesn’t matter what RV I think would be nice, it’s non-negotiable.

All you can do is hunt for a bigger discount, and add MSD to buy down the MF, which in this case will be over $10k.

I don’t see appeal in the E53 model. Straight 6 with electric motor and 62 mph i 4.3s - sounds terrible to be honest. Not to mention, these are better off financing or buying used :confused:

39

yeah but see the thing is, I wouldn’t mind dropping $1400-$1500 on an e63 and it’s almost supercar like numbers with 4 doors, with a proper tune/flash you are pushing close to 700 hp awd, 0-60 in high 2s low 3s aka high 10s quarter mile, twin turbo v8, etc. etc. The e53 is none of those at $ 1000+ and gets beat by v8 camaros and mustangs :face_with_raised_eyebrow::face_with_raised_eyebrow::face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Perhaps OP lives in a world of actual roads and doesn’t drag race frequently?
