These lease and finance deals can be used in conjunction with Loyalty Programs.

Mercedes-Benz Loyalty Accelerator for March

If you have a current Lease or Balloon Contract with Mercedes-Benz Financial you can take advantage of these programs. Mercedes-Benz will make 3 or 5 of your remaining payments when you go into a lease or finance on any new 2008, 2009 or 2010 Mercedes model.

3 Payment Loyalty Accelerator Program:
3 Payment Credits and waive the disposition fee if you are coming out of:
M-Class
R-Class
S-Class
CL-Class
SL-Class
CLS-Class
GL-Class
G-Class
Going into:
Any new 2009, 2010 or 2011 lease or finance.

5 Payment Loyalty Accelerator Program:

5 Payment Credits and waive the disposition fee if you are coming out of:
C-Class
E-Class
CLK-Class
SLK-Class

Going into:

Any new 2009, 20010 or 2011 lease or finance.

The Loyalty Accelerator, or pull-forward as we often call it, is a great way to end your current contract early so that you can have your new car sooner. If you are over miles in your current lease this is a good way to save some money too.

If your lease is ending between now and the summer you should really investigate this option! It could save you a lot of money!

Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG - 2010 is the Last Model Year!

The SLK-Class is due for a re-design for model year 2012. As a result, there will be no 2011 SLK55 AMG. The last 2010 SLK55s will be built in May. After that the 2011 SLK300 and SLK350 will be built until the all-new 2012 is introduced.
If you love the current generation of the SLK and have been delaying...you need to order your vehicle ASAP!
