2009 C350 lease

I hate asking retarded questions like this but I searched and couldn't find much info about the 2009s.

I'm looking to lease a 2009 C350 black/black with P1 and the 17" rims. How much should I be expecting to pay?

How do you even negotiate a lease? Should I be negotiating out the door price
? Or monthly payment? How much off MSRP should i expect on a 2009?

Thanks for the info. Is that with 3000 or so down? Looking at the dealers invoice prices 400 a month with 0 down would be below invoice.

Are there any incentives right now on these cars? If i can find a 2008 would it be better to lease one or are the 2009s still a better deal?

first check edmonds and price your car. you will see what people are paying in YOUR area.

second, check ridewithg.com...that site will show you what you will pay on a lease. he just got the c rates for june in.

third, download a lease excel calculator document and plug in the numbers.

good luck

if your leasing, why would you put anything down? save your money, sorry about my price earlier thought you said a c300 not a c350. but still. call esther and she what she can do for you. you dont haggle the price of a lease. ask about any specials going on.

wow. you dont really know very much about leasing.

you always haggle the price, unless you like paying msrp. leasing is all about money factors and residual values. also money down is not always a great idea, msd are better and you get them back at the end of the lease.

if you just accept the lease special they are running, you will pay msrp and thus your payments will be much higher.

if you try, you can get a c350 below invoice.

Thanks for the info guys. I have been checking ridewithg.com its a great website - however I didn't realize the new numbers for June were in.

I'm going to try to get 2k below invoice that would seem like a reasonable but very good deal.

the june numbers are the same as last month, except 2k trunk money on the c350.

mercedes wants to move c350s this month with a mf of .00084. its a good time to get one.

I just picked up an 09 C350 on Saturday - fully loaded - MSRP of $48,625 when all was said and done and I bought the car for $38,588. I have no idea how far below invoice that is, but its pretty far below I'd guess.

I also traded in my 07 ML63 and got an 09 ML63 to replace it so maybe they did me a bit better on the C, but I got $19k off the ML as well so maybe they just really, really want to move some cars and start their summer off right.

Good luck with your purchase!

I would try a couple dealers. I paid 36K for the car you listed above new in March, with 7sp, MM, P1, ipod, extra paint, extra burlwood, etc.

Work it till you get what you want.

Tivoboy - What is extra burlwood. You can get more woodtrim in the car? Do you have to special order your car and wait a few months or is it something they just pop in?

I got this offer on the 350
$45,300 MSRP
with Premiere 2, Multimedia Package, and Ipod (the 350 already includes the
Premiere 1 already.)
$39,500 Sell Price
39 month lease
$501 per month including taxes
$2500 out the door
10,000 miles

Is this good? They said they might be able to do slightly better too.

not knowing all the info, here what i came up with:
489mnth with tax ( i did 7%)
thats with 1k down and 15kmiles a year, mf .00084, 50%residual.

that leaves you 1500 to pay the aquistion fee, tags and doc fee.

The burl wood is just the brown burl interior, it IS an option and I think the upcharge was like 500$? maybe a bit more. I liked it, and it was already on the car we found.

This is good to know for my situation, and I would assume this would be on until they get rid of the 09's with the 10's coming around the corner...I've noticed that there aren't many 350's left at the dealers in my area.

the best deal i have read is 6k below msrp. that was last month. not sure of july's numbers but im guessing they will be the close to the same.

the problem you will encounter now is that the 09's are running low. if you find one, it will be around 46k and up. the cheap 350's are already picked over. another problem is finding one in your area. of course you can have your local mb dealer swap cars with a dealer that has the c350 you want, however you will not get as good a deal this way as buying off the lot.

i was able to get around 1200 below invoice on a c350 at msrp around 45250. this of course was a car swap.

you will be looking at a payment around 525 for 39mnths/15k/2k drive off at 46k msrp.

That sounds a bit on the low side for a C300 - whats the break down on your lease?

I've been calling around and no dealerships want to do $400ish + zero down.

Maybe I'll call penske and see if they can come up with anything?
