push pedal bicycle & '08 C 350
i ended up w/

C350
P2
Pano roof
18" AMG wheels

39 month lease
msrp=$41125
negotiated price=$36500
residual=$23500
miles/year=12000
driveoff(first month, title, destination)=$2083
money factor=.0000135 ~3.5%

$445 + tax = $482/month

is that a good deal? i thought it was but leaseguide.com doesn't think so, but i don't know how accurate leaseguide is.

you know i was all set to let one of my s2k people sell me a car as mentioned a few posts above but he would have had to do a dealer trade. i was to pick the car up on monday but he called me and said the car i wanted was sold and he couldn't trade for it.

so i walk into beverly hills mercedes benz because it is only a few blocks from my house. i would never have thought to go there, but i was pretty heated and was determined to get it on monday. some hot saleswoman comes up to me and asks me what i want. i tell her c350 in arctic white with pano roof and no other options. she also asks me if i had any quotes. i told her that i was getting a good deal elsewhere so she tells me to wait and check out the showroom. comes back in a few minutes with the exact car i wanted PLUS 18" AMGs and P2 for the same price that i told her i was getting elsewhere. wow, couldn't believe it so i just bought it right there.

much to my doubt, i couldn't believe how well i was treated there. that was the last place i expected that from. it turned out to be the easiest car buying experience ever. i would recommend her to anyone.
