  Hi jdowntown. As I mentioned in my previous reply to you, I have not seen the Tier 3 lease program, however I can give you an idea of what the top tier program is currently like.

  Hi detroitdiva. Mercedes is currently only waiving up to three remaining lease payments for consumers who get a new SLK, so you you are probably a month or two early in term of getting a new car. You would probably be on the hook for the extra payment or two. Mercedes-Benz Financial's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 SLK350 with 12,000 ...

  Hmmmm... according to the Edmunds.com review, "The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class is a two-seat convertible with a retractable hardtop roof.... Stand-alone options include parking sensors, a glass roof panel (also available with a dimming feature)..." There's a picture of the panoramic roof at the MBUSA site, which says that it's an optional feature: http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/gallery/class-SLK#/class-SLK/section-1/to- - - - ut-4/type-img ClaireS, Host Automotive News & Views | Coupes & Convertibles

  Hi chittus. Mercedes-Benz Financial's current residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 SLK55 AMG with 12,000 miles per year is 57%. Mercedes is not currently providing any lease support on this model, As a result, if you were to lease one through Mercedes-Benz Financial right now, you would have to use its standard lease money factors. These vary by credit tier, but they would probably be around .00200 or ... Read More

  This is another comment from the June issue Automobile Magazine on 2013 SL550's style (http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1206_2013_mercedes_benz_sl550/): "Now, if Mercedes could just add the word "beautiful" back into the SL's design brief. The awkward steering aside, the SL's biggest flaw is the way it looks -- it lacks the visual punch of a $100,000 jewel, too closely resembles the cheaper SLK, and is saddled with disjointed front, rear, and sides that look like ...

  In May 2012 Car and Driver magazine (http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2013-mercedes-benz-sl550-first-drive-review- ), there is an article on the 2012 SL model. At the end, the author commented how ungainly the 2013 SL model looks: "What is not so magical, at least to our eyes, is the way this thing looks. It’s ironic that a car that moves this gracefully should look so ungainly. The rear end is fattened for cargo, the front is high ... Read More

  If you haven't seen the 2013 SL550, take a look at http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/innovation/future/page-FutureModels/year-2013/vehi- cleclass-SL and you'll concur that the big time screw-up on styling. What a pitiful design that takes the worst of latest SLK node + CL tail. I am all for the aluminum construction to reduce weight and bi-turbo V8 (my 2005 SL500 feels really heavy when climbing hills). IMHO, 2009 ~ 2012 have the best styling except for early ... Read More
