You want to experience the luxury drive of an SLK but cannot afford to make the down payment needed for a car loan. A cheaper option is to lease the car. Consider an SLK 200K costing close to £30,000. You may have to pay a 20% down payment on your car loan, which comes up to £6000. If you cannot manage this down payment, then a Mercedes SLK car lease is the best alternative you have to a direct purchase.
Even if you do take out a loan to buy an SLK, your monthly loan payment will be significantly more than your monthly lease payment (considering that the loan and lease period are the same). Even if you have a longer loan term, the overall costs of your loan will increase when you add up all the interest payments. This makes a lease a cheaper option.
Statistics reveal that close to 50% of all high end luxury cars are leased. In fact, even the zero percent financing offered on car purchases by automakers has not really affected the popularity of leasing among motorists. A Mercedes SLK car lease is a great way to drive a new, luxurious and expensive car. Stay cost effective with a lease and drive your SLK in style.
