buy friends lease? ml50

My friend has 2003 Benz ml500 with $2000 extras ,he wants to sell. If I take over the Iease @ $750/mo.(+tax) it will end on 3/06 with $24000 remaining to purchase the car. I need a nice car and I stay with one for 4-6 years. Is this an OK deal?

I wouldn't buy one they have quite a few bugs in them

Thank for the reply. Could you be more specific.
These bugs show up after 15000 miles? Electronic?
mechanical? Not covered by warrenty? Major stuff?
Thanks.

I am an ex-finance person. I wont get into worth it or not. My caution is with the milage. I have sold many cars to people that had gone WAY over the miles on lease cars. So now they need a car they can drive. Then the lease car gets to sit while they pay the lease off. I know of more then one person that had a lease car sitting for the last 18 months of the lease :banghead: I also know one person that said screw it and drove it anyway. When they turned it back in the over mile charge was over 10k :eek7:
Just use your head and get ALL the facts.
