I dunno about any specific deals. But I leased a left over 2009 c300 4matic with P1 package (sport). I put down (total out of pocket including NYS tax, fees, first month and etc.) $6000 and I pay $375 a month for 36 months and I get 12,000 miles per year. I thought this was a great deal. I was going to get 2010 model, but the dealer said it would be over $400/mo with the same money down. So the 2009 was good enough for me. I hope I could help. I have bought previous Benz's at the dealer and my father also co-signed, so I get the company discount.

The best way to analyze how good of a lease you got is to consider the total cost to you over the span of the lease. Ex $375 * 35 months + $6000 = $19,500 or so over the next 3 years. Which would mean its about $533 a month with nothing down (of course if nothing was put down interest would be higher, thus payment higher.) This was in September of 2009 and I am paying mainly principal as I got I think 1.9% APR for lease. Payoff at the end of 36 months is also around $20,0000.

Not to hijack the thread, but how are the chances on negotiating the payoff at the lease end?

P.S. Be aware that my dealer (and I assume most other dealers) will charge you a $695 disposition fee should you decide not to do one of the following:
1) Purchase your vehicle at lease end
2) Lease/Purchase a NEW Mercedes-Benz vehicle through MB financial.

With a sticker at $40k my deal was $1676 total out of pocket, $499/month all in, 36 month 15,000 mile/year. Awesome deal. Jerry Marcus (fleet manager) at Simonson in Santa Monica CA. Made the last payment on My A4 Cabriolet.

If you lease through MB Financial - you can actually negotiate discount on the residual easily. MBF will rather sell this car to you than take it back.
I think disposition fee is $595, but it's waived if you lease another Benz with MBF.

I just got a 2010 fully loaded black on black C300 with a $48K sticker (which is ridiculous) but for a lease payment of only $450/mo. with only a $600 cap red.+tax & lic. in Beverly Hills Ca. of all places. I think this was a good deal due to discount and the lease money factor on C300's.

Nice deal. They are really pushing these cars around LA and it seems to be working. I see more C class cars that A4's now. Where in LA are you. I am in WLA.

I'm in the SF Valley. Yeah, there are a lot of C's around LA and 9 out of 10 are C300's. I suspect it is becasue they offer much better discounts and lease terms on the 300's. The sticker prices on 350's are not that much different than 300's, but the deals are on the 300's - they are blowing them out!

There also are a lot more C's and E's around since the beginning of the year becasue MBZ had a deal thru Jan 11 for existing leasees to turn in their cars with forgiving payments, forgiving turn in fees, a damage allowances, and in the case of E's, a $2000 rebate.

I looked at the C350 because of the extra HP but they were alot more on a lease. I decided to spend the $650 and do the powerchip ecu mod and now my car feels closer to the 350 that my 300 stock. Great cars for the money.
