Got a lease offer for a GLA250 from my dealer...
Not sure what they are smoking but I might stop at their office to join in!!
We ordered the car 3 months ago.
MSRP: $41,600 - $1,000 dealer discount
Net price: $40,600
Taxes and fees: $2,871
Total price: $43,471
Residual value: $27,040
Down payment: $2,000
Terms are 36 months 12K miles a year.
$642 a month!!!! It is a GLA250 not the GLA45!
Either they came up with some magic numbers or the lease rate is over 8%!!!
We passed!

2015 GLA250 4MATIC
That is crazy, I don't remember my exact numbers, but the car was almost completely loaded, 47k msrp, 1500 down, 498 a month. And they paid off my last 2 car payments on my other car, which were $530 a month.

Thank you!
Oh well....Business lost on their end.

Dealer is now coming back and saying they will give us a much better deal and asking "what number works for you?"....
I think dealerships are the only thing that has not evolved in the past 20 years. Regardless of the brand.

MBWorld Fanatic!
What kindof blows my mind - you had the GLA "on order" for three months - without a framework of a deal in place ?
That's like deciding to stroll down the block to you local dog park with a t-bone-steak taped to your forehead !
I would suggest you tell them you have full expectation from Mercedes lease ads - to have a "equivalent value lease" on your "custom ordered" GLA - which you understand is (1) "$3,275 dollars more in vehicle and (2) 12K annual miles, 36K total and not 10K/30K and with (3) on your $2K cash in and not 3889 in the ad rate. and (4) have dealer clearly outlines specific taxes and fee's in detail.
Frack them - it's their job to give you the "equivalent value answer" on your GLA on the advertised lease program - that's Mercedes advertised lease program and that was what you told them you would do the GLA lease program is the SAME - just the key #'s have changed a bit - and side-by-side you can see exactly how your payment comes out.
It's time for both sides to get serious and stop playing Dumb and Dumb'r wasting time on both sides....

Let's call it what it is....Try to screw the buyers and see if they are dumb enough to go for it. And if I had....Please then feel free to call me dumb.

2015 GLA 250
I'm guessing your from the states? this was my Quote a few days ago. I wanted numbers before I buy and got this.
It was (zero) down plus +2 discount, for a car already built. Seems the 60th anniversary doesn't apply to ordered cars.
The $633 is $3500 down for 39 months 24k lease.
I want Keyless Go/Start and the upgraded sound system but that's my Quote.
I really wasn't impressed that they didn't have a model on display or even allowed me sitting in the GLA that was sold,then asked do I have a job. So it wasn't a great experience.
Now people say I blow things up so I've hidden the dealers name.

2016 GLA 250
$43k MSRP
$35.5K sale price
$399 per month, includes the $800 I still owe BMW.
I added $20 per month to my payment for disposition fee (previous lease) and first two services...
$420 per month, with first-month payment and doc fees up front ($768 total)
I only lease loaner cars...4k miles on the car makes no difference when you're the first titleholder on a lease. BMW and Mercedes give aggressive offers on their loaner cars. Otherwise your sale price will be closer to $41k and lease will be closer to $550 per month.

Dealers just trying to make money…
I had a quote for a warranty. Guy told me 5750. No thanks. How about 5000? No thanks. How about 4500? No thanks. How about I’ll just skip it. If they would’ve quoted me decent price first would’ve bit. Then contacted local dealer who said 5k is the right price. Good to have someone you can trust. I’ll just take my CPO warranty thanks.
