'09 C300 Sport -- Steel Grey w/ P1, MM, iPod, Navi
First Time MB Owner!!!

Just took home a brand new '09 C300 Sport w/ P1, MM, Navi, iPod in Steel Gray

I am so excited to be driving my 1st MB!

I leased for $505 a month with $4k driveoff -- 39 month lease (includes all taxes, fees, etc) MSRP $42,400

How did I do??? As I was browsing around today, I noticed that I might have been able to get an '09 C350 Sport for not much more. But I cant see how to add P1 to a C350. Does it come standard? If so, the MSRP on the C350 with the same options as above only comes out to ~$1,000 more?? Is this correct?

You got a very good deal. Please don't worry about it. The money factors aren't quite as good on the 350s, so you wouldn't have has as good of payment. You did a great job with a great car.

For comparison for you, on my 08 early in the year, I paid about the same down, but $50 more per month, with no MM.
