Mercedes Benz EQS Lease Superthread - 2

That’s exactly the problem with the Mercedes-Benz design team.

They just want to be different from others and in the process their customers suffer :pensive:.

A small example - All the EVs out there show a simple metric for efficiency- miles per kWh, except MB, it is watt hour per mile .

I think i came from European meseure.
Like with gas, miles per galon in US and, liters per 100km in Europe.

Could somebody let me know if loyalty is taxed or untaxed ? I’m in CA if that matters.

In California, the lease loyalty is supposed to be a customer rebate and therefore subject to sales tax.

Being said, it’s up to the individual dealerships to manage the filings/payments to the CA franchise tax board, so if they want to somehow shoehorn in loyalty as a price reduction instead of a customer rebate, they could still do that.

i think Saloon (Sedan) is made in Germany (the US sold ones anyway); while SUV models made in stateside.

You can do tire rotations for free at Mercedes dealer, that’s basically part of the included maintenance for EQ models.

Nope, when I did service A at 1 year 8k miles, they refused to do tire rotation, I have to pay for it.

12 and 13 month leases are the best since there’s absolutely zero service involved.

Did MB start those up again?

No, but Audi did… oddly this month on ICE. The resid and MF are junk though. But if you can find a demo or lot anchor that needs to be blown out, it’s do-able with your Rabbi-Magic.

I would love another RS but interior so bland man.

Rolls Royce Spectre and Cullinan also have a 12 month lease.

I went to look at a Dawn today… might be sitting in my driveway soon. They offered like 74K on i7 LOL. that is a whole another story

Aston DBX also has 12 months.

Why don’t you trade in both your XM and i7 at the same time? haha

Guy laughed at the entire thing. He used to work for BMWFS. He said some interesting things so I might have leverage big time against the dealer.

My 2nd EQS SUV.
This time it’s a Maybach.

@djrabbi - in this user’s time on LH they went from a Volvo sedan to a Maybach.

In your time on the site you went from a S63 to a fucking dodge hornet. WTF happened man???

Ps @engine … your dealer legit installed the front license plate bracket on a goddamn Maybach??? Are they insane?

Cool! This will be significant more expensive than the other eqs deals. Do you mind share your price and break down?

Beautiful vehicle.
