Any recommendations for a no drill front plate mount?

Looking at this setup from sly brackets.

Agreed. I prefer the tow hook mounting. I have something similar but it has only been on for a couple of weeks. Time will tell on the durability…especially since we are also going into winter.

You’ve tried this with the EQS?

No, i do not have to, but I have seen some cars with that kind of hook and plate.

front plate spoils the aestetic of the grill on this car. A lot. Unlike Subarus and other Japanese cars that might look better with a color matched plate IMO. Are they enforcing front plates in NJ? I never put on front plate in CA and never had an issue.

Anyone have any experience with interior damage at lease end. I have a small gouge on the leather in one of the interior door panel trims in the rear. Wondering if they’ll charge me a nominal charge or force me to replace the entire panel

what car? i know alot of manufactures have a damage allowance

It’s a Mercedes eqs

djrabbi - you keep a fleet of EQs at home or are you rotating them out before lease end?

I plead the fifth… too many snitches on this site. lol

Are the fleet discounts are not available for the 2024 EQS 450s? The reason I ask is the dealer did not include that in a lease deal.

Did you ask for it?
If not, not a suprise, 95% of the customers do not know how the lease works and what rebates they can get.

I did ask about it prior to receiving the offer and that was their best deal. I then received a call this morning and brought it up and was told again that was their best they could do but did not receive a direct answer yes or no regarding the fleet discount which is why I asked here. Not sure if they are trying to hang on to it or it’s not currently available.

Just to be clear the car had an advertised sale price then the lease sale price was $7500 dollars less which clearly didn’t reflect any additional discount

Anyone know is dealer or MBFS responsible for paying/waive 3 payments as part of the Loyalty Accelerator Program. I recently leased a new Mercedes and returned the previous eqs sedan lease, since I had 3 payments left on the eqs lease. However, MBFS charging me for the remaining 3 payments. I called MBFS and they told me the dealer should the send the payments to MBFS in order to waive the payments. The dealer is telling me, the MBFS is responsible for waiving the payments.

Dealer is paying for that or at least sends proper paperwork to MBFS.
This is an example of the document.

Refund check came from MBFS.

Did you sign the document that @Zenek posted?

Mine didn’t get waived initially but it was a paperwork issue. Keep calling back MBFS and ask the agent to speak to the LAP agent on why the payments weren’t waived / refund issued. They won’t transfer you to a LAP agent directly (well, they did once for me).
