I understand your logic, and it works for many folks (although most leases don't allow that kind of miles). Frankly, If I wanted a new E350 Bluetec I would write a check for one (you don't have to believe me) instead of leasing one. I don't finance cars, and leasing is nothing more than a form of financing. Personally, I like old cars better; they have more "personality" and I don't really like the image of myself driving around in a new benz.
