I just talked with a representative at Fletcher Jones and he said for a 05 C230 sedan (just automatic) the down would be 1500 and the monthly would be around 299. Does this seem like accurate information??

Partial information sucks. Without all the details you cannot get a valuable answer. Miles, length, purchase or lease, etc, etc, etc.

BTW
Pricing Info

Oh there sure is... with a 60 month lease, a balloon at the end of like $30k and 10% interest rate.

If you massage the numbers enough, you can make it fit... it's just a matter of whether or not you'd like the terms...

$1500 down and $299/month on a 60 month lease with a max of 10k miles per year($1 per mile over) and a residual buy out at double the blue book is possible on any high end car....read ALL the fine print before you go ripping up the highway in an 05 anything

but leases just put a monthly check into the salesmonkey's pocket...are you sure you want to stimulate HIS economy instead of your own by that much?
