Better to lease or buy C63?

With the markets the way they are, and the depreciation MB's take, wouldn't it be wiser to lease the car (and can buy at end if you option to) the C63?

If not, can anyone fill me in as to why purchasing would be better? Going to look at this car, and want think through the options before I have the salesman on me.

Thanks!

Well, I decided to finance mine due to the fact that the lease numbers did not look good at the time. I think financing would still be a better choice, unless you get good lease #s.

Would you mind sharing the finance deal you were able to arrange, and through who?

Thanks!

Id tend to stick towards the lease option depending on if its a walk away lease or gaurenteed by customer. If its a walk away and they use a 50% or better residual on a 36 month term keep your money in the bank make the payments and hand them back the keys in 3 years. Keep in mind as well the is a new car for Mercedes so who knows what kind of problems you might have with it. Hopefully none.
