How does Mercedes Benz Agility work? At the start of the agreement your Business Manager will advise you of the Guaranteed Future Value for your van based on the mileage that you expect to cover during the course of your agreement. This Guaranteed Future Value is equal to the final Optional Purchase Payment but you don t have to decide to make this payment until the end of the agreement. In the meantime, you simply choose how long you want to keep the van, how much you d like to pay as an initial deposit and the monthly payments that suit you best. When the agreement comes to an end you can either purchase, return or part-exchange the vehicle. When returning the vehicle it must meet our Vehicle Return Standards and be within your agreed mileage as charges may apply. The benefits of Agility Defer the decision to own the van outright until the end of the agreement. Decide upon the level of deposit and monthly repayments that suit you best.
