Hey guys, I'm looking to get into a C300 lease but haven't had the chance to stop by the dealers for quotes yet, so I figured to start a thread and find out how much C300 lease goes for. Sport model with standard options, 36 month lease. How much is the cash due at signing? How much do you guys pay a month? Thanks!

Hard to estimate, because standard equipment is standard; options are optional. What are "standard options"?

My very question. Reminds me of "original miles."

I just recently went through this with my GF. At the moment leasing is a very poor deal. The residual values are way too low at the moment. MB finance is counting on the economy still be relatively flat for luxury cars in the next few years. They don't want to get stuck with the lease returns.

Consider buying a used C300. We bought a 2008 C300 with P2 & 13,200 mile for 31.5K out the door - 9.25% Sales tax, license, etc. It was a CPO car from the dealer. She spent $1500 more to extend the warranty out 4 years.

Try some "total cost of ownership" calculations with both leasing and purchasing used.

Just another view to consider.
