In October 2016, I went into a lease agreement with Mercedes for 4 years, since then I have been paying £301 to Mercedes Finance .
My question for you is  should I ask Mercedes that because of the current situation,  prices of the cars have gone down.  Instead of returning the car back to Mercedes which will be in Oct.  If  I were to pay off  the current low  value of the car that would mean i’d be able to keep the car.
Do you think they would agree?

    depends on the agreement - if it really is a lease, are you sure there's even an option to buy ?

    I had a lease ending during the financial crisis via MB Finance (Jeep Grand Cherokee)  offer to sell it too me around £16 k value in the market around £12.5k which I offered was told no.

    As has been said you can always ask but know the market value before talking to them.

    Apologies. I’m not a technology person. I put info in the wrong field it seems. Thanks for your response.
