I know this may be a word everyone is scared of...but why not lease? Owning a Mercedes you will either take the hit on the lease; or take a larger hit on the trade in.


I have to drive too much - estimated around 15,000 miles/year so I don't think a lease is possible.

Would you advise otherwise?

They have 15k/yr leases, and you can also prepay mileage for less than the penalty. The penalty is also in line with devaluation, so it's not a huge factor.

If you will be selling the car in 2-3 years, depending on MFs and residuals, you should probably lease. The trade tax credit works against leasing (in LA), so that's something to consider.
