For S&Gs, I reached out to Grifter for an average lease quote. I figured it would have been in the $800-$1,000 range, but he said they're currently leasing for $1,000/mo with 3-5k down.

$1k lease sounds about right considering the C63s (~$83k sticker) I test drove a little while back would be $1,300 with nothing down and excellent credit. The killer on the luxury cars is the horrendous residual on a lease. The Benz had a 49% residual for 3 year/36k....wild. If the interest rate is good, it actually makes little sense to put any money down.
