I want to purchase my 2018 GLC 300 when the lease ends this month, and the dealer is trying to increase the price and add fees. MBFS told me they would email me the payoff, and it never arrived. When I called MBFS again, I was told I have to work through a local dealer, because they’re not licensed in my state. I called the dealer I leased from several times, and no one would call me back. I tried another dealer who is trying to charge me $1400 above the buyout option price, plus a $698 doc fee. They also tried to add on an MBC appearance package for $549. My lease states I have the option to purchase the car at a specific price plus a $150 purchase option fee. I understand the final price will include taxes, and taxes aren’t included in the above numbers. What is going on? It sounds like a big scam to me. I appreciate any help.
