E250 CDI Estate Lease

[bodtwo]

Hi All,

I'm looking at moving from my own 5 Series to leasing an E250CDI Estate Sport (change of roles - lots of motorway/stop/start traffic, want to get the bikes in the back again). Have spent time with local MB dealer but was not a pleasant experience. After looking through these forums I've come up with the following list of companies to contact, would you add any others?

www.competitivecarleasing.com
www.gateway2lease.com
www.leaseyournextcar.com
www.pantheonleasing.co.uk
www.sprintcontracts.com
www.lingscars.com
www.contracthireandleasing.com
www.leaseyournextcar.com

Looking at usual plan, 3+35 over 15k.

Cheers all.

I've never tried any but get masses of offers e-mailed through to me every week, the one company which stands out to me is CLVR, their rates always seem really low.

Cheers chaps, I'll have a look tomorrow.

Alternatively M&S finance offer a car scheme where you own the car and defer a final payment .. might work for you as you are not confined to mileage

MB seem to be doing some good deals at the moment themselves.

Do it! You really don't want a rattly 4-cylinder diesel do you?

Is that Mr T? I know 350 will make me feel much better, but what about the children? The other side is will the e350 take that engine and will it encourage me to drive it 'out of spec'?

I've got a C1 through them and their prices are very good.
We also have some friends who are, er, "very frugal indeed" and they lease Mercs off Freedom - if they use them then they must be good value.

The OH will be using them next.

I have the 350 and it is like a magic carpet, very economical and if required fairly quick (for a diesel big estate car) When I was buying it I considered the 250 and the comparable 5 series but the 350 pulls the weight very well and just felt nicer than the others.
