Out with the old...

With the new E-Class Sedan and Coupe on the way Mercedes-Benz has began clearing the decks of the current range. With the E-Class Coupe replacing the current CLK model it too comes in for some special financial treatment.

The German firm is offering cut prices lease offers on all E-Class and CLK models including the E280, E280 CDi, E350, E500, CLK 280 and CLK 350; both CLK hardtop and cabriolets are covered.

The deals mean customers can get into a CLK 280 AMG Sports Pack from $298 per week on a 60-month lease.

E280 Sports Editions start from as low as $288 per week over 60 months. At the other end of the spectrum the most you can expect to pay for a CLK is $608 per week on a 36-month plan for a CLK 350 Cabriolet while the E500 AMG Sports Pack over the same timeframe will cost $768 per week.

There are three different periods on offer as part of the arrangement; 36, 48 and 60 month terms. And for the first time Mercedes is offering guaranteed future value on all models under the deal.

The new E-Class range is due in July and the company has admitted that a number of Coupes will arrive ahead of the sedan range.

However, company spokesman David McCarthy tells the Carsales Network that it will hold them back and launch both models simultaneously.
