Car leasing, MY2011?

[maxell10]

Long time lurker, first time poster, looking for some advice.

Looking at leasing a car for the first time (W212 E250 cdi), after paying initial deposit the doc's were sent through to sign, although the registration is a 2013 car with 0 miles, the build year is 2011.

None of the quotes say the year but i was under the impression that it would at least be a MY12 car, am I in the wrong for assuming this? There was a minor facelift at the end of 2011 I believe so it's going to be impossible to tell what i'm getting until its too late.

Thanks in advance.

Was it an unbelievably cheap deal?

It is probably just the year that the particular model/facelift was introduced. Nothing sinister.

No, from it's coming through Mercedes direct, £343 7+35

Quote says E250 Cdi Sport Auto [7] 2011, 0 miles, registered 01/03/13.

Waiting to hear back tomorrow, very wary of accepting and ending up with a 2011 pre facelift car (although aware that it won't be the latest facelift for 2013).

Shouldn't be an old model car but check before signing everything if you're not happy.
