$438 is exactly what I am paying for my 4Matic w/ P1.
I was told it would come with the iPod integrate . . but upon delivery of the car it wasn't there. . the sales rep said he didn't notice that it wasn't included
The headlights have a H7 halogen bulb.

when did you get your Car if you dont mind tell me? if you got it in July i guess thats the average price they are leasing out. if july i think thats a good deal.
as far as I know this month July has the lowest Rate yet for 09 models. but next few month can be lower.
did you need to put any money down beside tax etc?
thx in advance

The lease average around that time was $450 + , but the rep I went through was a hockey buddy of mine.

I was able to get the same car but instead with Premium 2 package include. for 445 which is 6 dollar more then my original 438.88 deal.
after some calcualation I'm paying 234 for the premium upgrade.
I think I will most likely settle for this deal.
now I'm wonder If I should bother to upgrade my rims to AMG...

Some interesting numbers in this thread, we're also currently looking to possibly lease an Artic White C300 Sport 4Matic in the next two days. Only option being auto to stay within our budget.
36mths
15k miles
$2500 down
We talking to a lease broker who's first quote is $415/mth which after local taxes would be $440/mth. But some here seem to be getting alot more for the same price which is interesting. We're not even thinking of P1 or P2 because it would shoot the monthly near $500 supposedly. We're still waiting for quotes from dealers but we're not expecting them to be anywhere near as low as our broker.

I got a 2008 about a year and a half ago
It was a c300 sport with p2 package, steel grey, I pay 596 a month for 20k per year,
39 month 65k miles total lease
also my down payment was only 1500
Dont know how that one compares but thats what I got when the car was still hot to buy.

no point. Get RS63 wheels and you will get looks and everyone will talk to you all day long. I can not stop anywhere without someone asking me about my car. (still)
Also, my assistant came into my office and said some guy in a 7-series was walking around my car looking at it..trying to look in the windows lol
either hes going to steal it or really loves the design with wheels etc
oh and the best part is..you can get the wheels and tires installed for less than 2k.

Just got off the phone with the broker now and the best I could get is $427/mth including tax on a C300 Sport Automatic with UMI.
Best initial offer from a local MB dealer through e-mail is $425+ local tax which comes out to $455. I'm sure I'll be able to work them down.
Numbers seem off from what you guys are able to get, but i'll have to see how far I can work the dealers down without them telling me to F off....
From speaking openly with the broker it seems like the numbers are off from some of you guys because they tend to jump month to month when the new inventory and residuals come out. Supposedly May was a great month to get a C-Class but June sucked, but now end of July is a decent month to get good numbers. Ugh....

That is an amazing deal. We would jump on that in a second if we were offered that. Sadly most dealers don't seem interested in dealing, which is strange. That or they just want to dick you around.Also spoke to the Broker again yesterday and she said that last month since inventory was high they were letting C350's go for $400/mth with little down. But once inventory was cleared out it went up $80...

So I tried to get a local dealer to match the price $388/mth price posted above, even without NAV. I told him my brother just got that price out of state on a new C300 can you match it. He basically called me out for being a liar LOL, whats with these dealers?
Now yes, I did fib a bit because its not my brother. But I'm using what are supposedly real numbers from a fellow member here and they wouldn't even entertain the idea. Seems to be a trend with these guys lately.....
Good morning,
Ok, let me know if you would like to schedule an appointment. As far as your brother leasing the car for $388. sounds to good to be truth a 2009 MB C300 P1 with AMG wheels has an MSRP of $38,640 National is $379 + tax 10,000 miles per year with$5,500 out of pocket. I don't know what to tell you maybe California has better programs than Florida but remember when you register the car they will use the from Florida unless you have it register in California and drive here with California Plates, Insurance,
Thank you!

So I finally went ahead and used the Leasing section of this forum to figure out how much the lease's should be at invoice. And now I don't blame the last sales guy for blowing me off trying to get the $388 number from the last poster above mine.
To get that $388 number on that car you would have needed to get the car at $3k under invoice according to ever lease calculator i've used. I'm guessing that the real number is probably $488/mth and you just misunderstood your friend or something. That or I'm flying to California to pick up a C300 there instead....

anyway as for my deal. this is how it turn out..
as I work for JPmorgan chase my company offer employee discount for MBenz C class model for 1000 off the price. and it can combine with what ever dealer offer.
To Thameth, for your car with the package you looking for, you should be able get it anywhere around 425 to 435, 425 being good price while 435 ok decent , anything higher is rip off. make sure you dont put money down.
I picked up my car C 300 4matic for $427 with p2 package, Ipod intergrate, and 2 year maintenance free. of course 0 down only had to paid tax + fees out of door.
I tho it was a great deal, and I kinda suprise the dealer by pulling out my employee discount at the end hahaha
