C230 Coupe
Im just wondering, if your willing to put down $14,000 why not just buy the thing. I leased a car once and it was a pain, at the end of the lease it could end up costing you more money if something is wrong with the car.

C230 K Orion Blue, Bose, C Leather, Evolution , CD
I just picked mine up yesterday from the Oakville dealership. Got the Evolution, auto, leather, cd changer, alrm, bose system, metalic paint (free), and winter mats (free). Price came to $41500 + tax. No money down

Had to pay $3600 for gas tax and all that other garbage.

36mth lease $720/mth tax in.

It sounds to me like a standard quote.

Did the dealer give anything for free???

I just went to the MB Finance page and ran a lease for a ML 500 (It was the closest price in $ to yours w/o being less). For a MSRP of 45,615 and a downpayment of 7K, the payments came out to $557 a month. Almost $100 less a month for a car that costs over $4000 more. Hmmmm.

i know what u mean, but my point is
if i have that much cash with me, why would i consider
leasing it?.... i'm just a student in university trying to
lease a C230 coupe by myself without parents' money
plus, i dont think my parents will pay me for it since they dont
think a student should drive a MB around ...they think
a student only needs a $10000 car.~~
i think the monthly payment $307 is not bad..but the
due upon delivery charges = $17000 ( the quote they gave
included everything )...is kina high.~~...

if i have the cash, i'll buy it off right away..since it's
got high resale value...

SHOP AROUND!!!! That is the key. I turned down several cars before I found the right deal and I got an awesome deal. Wait until the last day of the month. Car salesmen are always more proned to give a better deal then because they want to get the commission and months end is the cutoff. You can always work out a better deal if play hardball with them. You might not be the most popular person at the Benz dealership, but I'd rather save the $$$ myself and spend it on mods!
