<div class="bbWrapper">Hi guys. <br /> <br /> Can people share their experiences of things to look out for when taking delivery of a leased MB from MB finance. Apart from the obvious check for scratches etc?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Does this seem like a good deal based on people experience? <br /> <br /> E CLASS DIESEL SALOON E220 BlueTEC SE 4dr 7G-Tronic<br /> £278.90 incl VAT rental per month<br /> £2510.10 incl VAT initial rental<br /> Personal lease<br /> Contract term : 24 months<br /> Rental profile : 9 + 23<br /> Annual mileage : 10000<br /> Production status : Current model<br /> CO2 band : C (111-120 g/km)</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I did detailed check of exterior and interior. Found very small scratches on bumper which were noted on documents. Otherwise it was very good and hassle free experience.</div>

I think it depends on the dealer how the car is delivered. You can ask about it. <br /> <br /> My next car is coming from dealer 500 miles away so I hope they will send it on flatbed.</div>

On the Lexus I found some carpet protector polythene hadn't been removed properly.<br /> <br /> It's important to check that all the 'bits' are there, such as Red Warning triangle, first aid kit, Becker Map Pilot, locking wheel nut key (!), etc, as these will be looked for at the end of the lease.<br /> <br /> Just a note, I was offered an end of lease inspection to take place a week or so before the end of the lease, so that I would have time to rectify any faults at MY prices, rather than it being fully inspected by the collection driver, any any faults found then being charged for at THEIR prices. As it happened, none were found, I was complimented on the car's condition.<br /> <br /> Malcolm</div>

Have you come across better rates in your experience then the ones quoted?</div>
