FIRST CLASS LEASE

Customized Mileage and Terms
Your mileage and term options are set according to your driving profile. But we will be happy to customize your lease any way you see fit (certain limits apply). Drive a lot more than average? We'll set an allowance for
extra mileage. Don't do a lot of driving? Set a lower annual mileage lease and reduce your monthly payments.

The First Class Lease also allows you to set the terms. Customize your lease anywhere from 24 to 60 months, and anything in between. Whether it is a brand new Mercedes-Benz or a pre-owned one that's brand new to you.

End of Lease Flexibility - The First Class Finish
What you do at the end of your lease is up to you. Basically, there are four options (may vary state to state):

• return your vehicle,
• extend your current lease,
• change the terms and re-lease the vehicle up to 36 additional months or
• buy the vehicle.

Optional Lower Insurance Premiums
We may be able to help you lower your insurance premiums by simply choosing a higher deductible on your insurance protection. Check with your insurance representative for more information.

European Delivery
It's a new twist on delivery. Pick up your new Mercedes-Benz in Germany and take a vacation while you're there. You'll receive a tour of our Mercedes-Benz plant. Then you can be off to tour Europe.

Security Deposit
While no security deposit is required on our standard lease program, in some states we offer the Multiple Security Deposit option. By putting down up to ten refundable security deposits, you'll reduce your monthly lease payments over the term of your lease. At lease-end, you can have your deposits refunded or rolled over into your next First Class Lease.

Single Payment
By making a lump-sum payment up front on your lease, you can eliminate monthly payments, check writing or mailing and, of course, it will provide significant savings on interest through discounted rates.

Pre-Owned Leasing
Now you can lease a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz. Choose from all models, up to eight model years old. Under full warranty, your pre-owned car gives you more car for the money, lower monthly payments and lower insurance costs.

GAP Waiver
Our GAP Waiver is designed to give you peace of mind. If for some reason (such as accident or theft) your leased Mercedes-Benz is declared a total loss, we will cover the difference between the insurance proceeds and the balance owed to Mercedes-Benz Credit, less any deductible.

AUTO-PAY®
With our AUTO-PAY option, you can have your payments deducted directly from your checking account. No monthly check writing. No monthly mailing. It just doesn't get much easier than this.

Business Tax Deductions and Sales Tax Savings
Drive a lot on business? If 50% or more is business-related, considerable tax savings may apply. Also, you'll save on the amount of sales tax you pay. In most states, sales tax will only be based on your monthly lease payment. Not the vehicle's total value (Please consult your tax advisor for more information).
