Leasing is the way to go. 24 months, zero down and drive away. Try to get 15k miles per year. Should be around $899 per month.

It is a gorgeous car. I do like the new design features, although I do miss the flared wheel wells that gave it "haunches" from the side from the last model. I think the higher grill is a nice way to change the inate design without changing the character. The interior is even more beautiful than the last although it somehow seems smaller by appearance- and despite not liking the tail light redesign I have liked it more upon repeated road viewings. Buy certified pre-owned with about 5 to 10k and save a chunk o change.

Why are you worrying about low rates then before you spend that kind of "doe".

Dude, vehicle rates have been low for the past century. I can't remember a time I haven't see 0%-3% rates on cars

Leasing may work for you. But for most people, it doesn't or shouldn't.
Leasing, you own nothing, but you owe something.
Ever wonder why most dealerships are happy to push leasing? Hint, it's not because it's a better deal for their customer.

Just for argument's sake, how old are you?

Well it lets people "buy" more car than they can afford, in many cases, with an extra premium kicked in.
I guess if you don't actually "drive" the car much, but are just having it to have it - it isn't a terrible deal. I mean if you must buy new, buy expensive and can't really afford it.

The OP never even mentioned "leasing" he asked about rates. And when you can get rates for less than 1% I don't see the big deal
Would I ever buy an S Class? No but he asked an honest question. Why the hate?

It's the money board. Anyone who finances a depreciating asset should be challenged on it. I do it, most people have done it, but honest challenges on "How much are you spending? Why? Why this car at this time, if you have to finance?"
Even if it is "only" 1% - you're still rolling your net worth back. It's one thing when you go and pay cash, hopefully at FMV, for a depreciating asset - when you decide to take the loss, you can negotiate from a position of reasonable strength - you've got the asset.
When you finance for an extended term (as many of these luxury cars are - sometimes 120 months - can you imagine - you'll be underwater for 9 1/2 years ) - you're a slave to that note. You can walk away, but will have neither the car nor the money - just a note. Or you have to come out of hip national bank to pay the difference.
Financing cars from an early age costs you millions of dollars when you combine the depreciation, finance charges (yes, even at 1%, they add up), TTL, and opportunity costs of what you could have been doing with that money all along.
And for what - at the end of the day you have a used car that nobody wants.

You should get a BMW instead. M6 Gran Coupe.

For the ticking time bomb of expensive maintenance that is a high end German luxury car, I would never do anything other than lease. I'd rather pay a note on it for 2 years, drive it 30k miles, and be able to walk away without the giant depreciation hit or any expensive repairs.
Now for cars with less complicated systems, such as my truck, there is no way I'd lease it.
Just my opinion though.
