Price on new lease. Same car 2020 will be 70 bucks a month less and
Will have same equipment plus power tailgate. Issue is lease must be extended 6 months bc factory is closed and new orders are already backed up
All the new dealer cars on the lot are 2019 and none have all the safety stuff I have on her car. So that’s out.
All the available loaner cars do not meet spec.
My sales person left and went to MB a few months back. He is working on a deal for a E300 or E350. Dealer is closed so I cannot drive it and I won’t buy without driving it. I really feel my BMW is solid. I don’t know why I think the equal MB would be more delicate. I feel that way about Audi too. Great driver but too Delicate.

You won't get a better lease rate on an equivalent Merc as BMW leases tend to be cheaper and are heavily incentive. I would reccomend you stick with another 540 lease especially if the payment will be going down which is another added benefit. As a Mercedes owner, I don't think the E350 (2.0T I4) is the way to go, the E450 (3.0TT V6) is much better, however there is a refresh coming soon (although will likely be delayed) which gives it some styling updates inside and out, new tech, as well as Merc's newest Inline 6 + 48V engine, but again, lease rate will likely be much higher, unless your salesman can pull some tricks to get it closer to the 540 lease.
