When you get behind the wheel of your Competition Mercedes-Benz vehicle, it's easy to lose track of your miles, but there's no need to cut your adventure short! Mercedes-Benz offers you the opportunity to customize the mileage within your lease, so you can choose from the Ultra Low Mileage lease with 7,500 miles annually to 20,000 miles annually in total with the high mileage option, based on whatever suits your needs! With leasing, there's no hassle with trading-in or selling your vehicle. We take on the risk of resale value at the end of the lease and provide you with an option to purchase your leased vehicle. Through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, you can buy extra mileage and it will spread the dollar amount into your remaining monthly payments. Leasing is a low-cost way of driving a Mercedes-Benz. You only pay for the portion of the vehicle you use and you may even be able to get some tax advantages out of leasing if your vehicle is for business purposes (consult your tax advisor).
