Finance vs Leasing. What option suits the best? Finance After you paid your deposit, you make your monthly payments. When all of the payments have been made, you own the vehicle. You can choose between fixed or variable interest rates. Leasing You only pay lower monthly rental for using the vehicle and decide on whether you would want to own the car at the end of the tenure.

Operating Lease What is it? A flexible business solution whereby the vehicle is leased to you for your chosen period and mileage, with the option of including insurance, registration and maintenance in the monthly rental. The ownership remains with Mercedes-Benz Financial and so does the liability. Your monthly outflows are significantly lower than making an outright purchase or taking a loan. What happens during your agreement? Simply pay your monthly rentals and enjoy driving your Mercedes-Benz. Read your enclosed wear and tear guide. It tells you in what condition your Mercedes-Benz needs to be in when you return it, in order to avoid paying additional charges. What happens at the end of your agreement? Near the end of your agreement, we will remind you that it is about to end We will arrange for the collection of your Mercedes-Benz at your convenience, or you can deliver it yourself. Please be aware, excess mileage and damage charges may apply You can then lease another Mercedes-Benz or buy one of your own You may also be able to extend the length of this agreement Savings on EMI can be further invested for better returns Income Tax benefits in case payment is done by employer Increase in cash in hand Benefits to businesses Off Balance Sheet transaction.

Key Benefits of Leasing Pay for what you use Leasing means paying for the vehicle, only as much you use it. The ownership remains with Mercedes-Benz Financial and so does the liability. Your monthly outflows are significantly lower than making an outright purchase or taking a loan. Pay as per usage No liability of ownership Lower monthly outflows A hassle free drive A big deterrent in making the buying decision is the intrinsic costs like service & maintenance. STAR Lease is all about worry free driving as you have the option of including all costs like service, maintenance, registration and insurance as a part of your monthly rentals. Zero maintenance and service costs Fixed monthly payment Complete mobility solution
Upgrade to a new vehicle every 3 years With STAR Lease the customer just returns the car at an agreed date and dealer location, selects new Mercedes-Benz car at the showroom, signs a new contract and that s it. No more trade-in price negotiations, vehicle checks, discussions with numerous potential buyers, bank transfers, registration amendments etc. This protects you from uncertainties on your market price of the vehicle. No risk on car resale Easy upgrade to a new vehicle Tax benefits & Off-book funding As per accounting standards lease is treated as an off balance sheet transaction, hence the vehicle does not appear on your books. Therefore you can use your capital for your business needs rather than utilizing it for the vehicle. Also monthly lease rentals are treated as expense, and so you get the income tax benefit on the total rentals that you pay for your vehicle. Off-balance sheet treatment Higher tax benefits Better savings
