Car is leased through Mercedes Financial. I did a one-pay, so I need the remaining payments paid back all at once:
11 Months Remaining
$570/mo = $6,270 due at once
1k Miles/mo (currently at 24k, I did 12k/yr)
Car cosmetically is excellent; replaced front tire.

Photos upon request, though I must say that the super flake Selenite Metallic goes really nicely with the red interior and the red convertible top. The red top is so much better than black!
I don’t have the window sticker unfortunately (the dealer forgot to give it to me when I got the car), but all of the options are listed above. Here are some photos of its twin; my car looks exactly the same except mine has the upgraded, adaptive full LED headlights:
No love on this thread? I’d also consider writing a rental agreement for $600/mo, so $6600 upfront but no Credit Check, no Transfer Fee, and the deal can be done asap. Same 1k miles/mo for 11 months and any wear/tear caused by the new renter + 1/2 of disposition fee would come from them, not me. I’d also require proof of insurance on the car and perhaps a small refundable security deposit since the reg would still be in my name.
I’m shopping convertibles right now. It would be a third car so I have time on my side (Pennsylvania winter currently) and don’t have to do anything unless it makes sense. I like the car, color, payment and remaining term.
Some things that are not outright obvious: (I can make some assumptions)
Current mileage
Total mileage allowance
Are you lowering the gross as months go by
Official end date
Minor issues…
Some more glaring issues I see as a buyer. No pictures of the exact car only a “similar car”. The remaining payments all due at once is always a harder pill to swallow vs monthly payments. I see other comparable convertibles (C Class/4 series) on SAL for low $600 or high $500 with the traditional monthly payment. Monthly payment > one time in my opinion. One time > monthly when the savings is considerable. $20-$30 a month for 11 months doesn’t move the needle for me. Maybe someone else.
I would delete your post about keeping the car in your name. What if someone “forgets” to pay you, someone is now driving a car that you are paying for! If they cause excessive damage, go over miles, accrue tickets…your name is on the title. I would let the car sit or lower the amount your looking for before I would keep the car in my name and “rent it” but that’s just my 2 cents!
