Thanks for posting that for me Nick!
I know the c250 has been compared alot to the accord coupe and I think this best example of it with a couple of pics next to each other same color and all.
As far as the payment goes is that enough for everyone to see im not b'sing anything. It was $2.00 more a month for the 2yr service package $619 option so this made the total msrp with this package $46,694.00 at $370.16/m

2012 Mercedes Benz C350 Coupe
I think the key to silvercl55's good deal was his going back and forth with several dealers. That's what I did on my factory purchase, without ever leaving the house except on the test drives. I told all dealers in my state the coupe configuration I wanted to order via the contact-us page on their websites, and they all submitted email 'bids' on my factory order. They all knew they were competing with each other and I wound up with a deal that was 9.989 % off msrp. That deal included a USAA discount, but still pretty good I thought.

That's pretty much exactly what I did. I went to dealer 1 looked at the car test drove it and sat through the nonsense of the stupid numbers they were giving me and then I made some calls and emails to other dealers within driving distance. In the end I went with the dealer that was only 20 mins away since the dealer I started with continued to play games. They offered me $6,000 less then what my car was doing in average condition on manheim and my car was super clean...In my opinion that's the best way to walk into buying a car. It helps stop the nonsense and gets you the best deal.
I used a bit of strategy with this - I didn't even talk about the C until I had numbers for my smart for trade in. They kind of screwed me on it, so I used that as a bargaining point on the C.

After a week of going back and forth with several dealerships we finally got our car!!
we got a c-250 white tan/blk interior, P1,leather upgrade,power pass seats,keyless go,18" amg 5 spoke wheels, nav everything but parktronic package, blind spot, and the special order handling package msrp was $46,100 we leased it with $2,000 down for $368/m..The only thing I didn't like was that I was told the disposition fee is mandatory from mercedes and has to be on there. what do you think of the deal we got and the disposition fee? Here is a pic after we left the dealership unfortunately I wasn't able to get a daytime one since I was at the dealer for 7 hours!!! Thanks in advance.

oh, lol...I agree that it does.. That's why I posted pics comparing the two next to each other.. It was perfect white is the easiest to compare and we just pulled the accord next to the coupe and snapped a few shots.

2012 c250 coupe
I am not asking you to compare my deal with his. Its obvious his deal is better however it seems a little unbelievable to me. I am just asking in general how my deal looks. I have been shopping around a bit and this is much better than majority of quotes I have received. I wouldn't expect much else from someone who's screen name is bawlin though, something tells me your not.

that is not a good deal with 7,500 miles a year on a 39 month lease. I would not do it. the fact your saying my deal is unbelievable even after there is a pic with my lease agreement on here why you would say that is weird to me. if you wan you can call hendrick motors Charlotte, NC and speak with Greg (salesman) tell him Brandon referred you and guarantee you will pay paying less with 12k/yr and a shorter lease for the same car easier

2012 C250 Coupe
Hey SilverCl55, would you mind messaging me a little more on your write-up. I am in the process of getting out of lease on my 2009 c300 4matic, and trying to get into a C350 coupe. My dealer has offered me a decently good deal. On a C250, $340 a month 36 months, 12k per year with $2,500 down. But this is only on a car with P1 + Nav. I would really like to get the C350 and just get Nav + Lighting package. The MSRP would be just about at $46-47k and I would love to keep the payment the same (like what you are paying).
I just would like a little extra support in making them do this. Because if I tell him I know someone who got this deal, he would say, "It's simply not possible".
And its not like I don't have a leg to stand on... They are going to be making roughly 3k on my car by selling it used (only owe $23k and it will EASILY sell for $28k CPO, but I only said 3k to be modest). Not to mention that I also have leased 4 mercedes-benz from him and referred many sales (C63, S550) over the last year...
I think with your numbers, and then trading in my car, I might even be able to get him to $0 down and $350 a month on a C350 with nav and bi-xenons! (One can wish right!)

2012 C250 Coupe
Thanks for all the information on this guys, just finished signing the papers on 2 C250 coupes:
Both were 24 month leases, 12k miles/year, $2,500 due at signing and $299 a month.
- One car has the diamond white paint upgrade, 18" amg wheel upgrade, wood trim, comand, P1 package which comes to a $43.8k sticker. Selling price was $36,800.
- The other car is P1, comand, backup camera, wood trim, lighting package, spoiler and MSRP came to $43.3k.
VERY satisfied with my purchase, especially considering it includes the prepaid maintenance and ALL fees and taxes - all at the price you would expect to pay for a Altima or Maxima for an essentially Fully Loaded car. I doubt anyone will be able to get this deal though, as not only did I buy two cars at one shot, but qualified for special incentives through work. Pictures to follow when I pick them up!
Also, they took back the lease on my 2009 c300 4matic that still had 11 months to go (and I was over miles by 3k, had 42k, only allowed 39k at lease end, lol). Mercedes is offering a program to eat 8 of the payments in any current lease until Jan 2nd, 2012. My dealer ate the extra 3 payments and overage on miles. So deals CAN be had.
Main factors of why the leases are so cheap, and why I did 24 months, is that the residual is ridiculously high, about 76% (car is projected to hold 76% of value in 24 months and 12k miles per year). Money factor is pretty low, and borrowing at 2.25 APR. I was going to do 30 months, but the residual wasn't as good, resulting in less of a "deal". Also, it seems that I get pretty itchy to get into a new car after 24 months!
If you do the math, this equates to roughly $390/month, $0 due at signing, for a car with an MSRP of $44k, can't beat it. Although, if you actually did $0 down the payment would be higher as you would have to pay the interest on the extra $2,500 you are financing.
