NEW 2022 Mercedes EQB 300 - 67 miles; MSRP $58,615.00. Calculator does not quite reflect deal as it was only $1,000.00 down, but agreement states $2,536.09 down. Dealer simply ate the difference.
48 Months
12,000/year
In addition to the negotiated price, there was the $7,500.00 lease incentive, and a separate $500.00 “Welcome to Electric” MB incentive.
You are paying over $33k to lease this car over 48 months. Low residual at 43% and high MF are not your friend here. To simply buy it would have been roughly $44k plus tax, fees (assuming you get the $7500 ev tax credit). That’s just my rough math at first glance.
Also with a 48 month lease, you are unfortunately stuck for 4 years as MB does not offer lease transfers.
If you really like the car, just drive it and turn it in after 4 years. If it’s signed it’s done. No need to ponder the decision. Enjoy the car

That’s also assuming the buyer in question can remain under the Federal HHI cap for the credit on a purchase. On a lease (at least for the time being) the credit is rolled over upfront.
