My sister leased her 2011 c300. Nearly $36,000 sticker, total out of pocket for a 24 month lease with 12,000 miles per year was $2,000 and she pays $351 a month.

yea but her C300 is not 4matic, my sticker price was 41k

My sister's is a 4matic if that's what you were saying. My 2009 was a 4matic also with that identical sticker price. I got a "decent" deal. $6,000 out of pocket, 12,000 miles per year $371/month.

I leased a C-Class for my wife a year ago. 2010 C300 4matic with P2 package and fully loaded. Don't recall the MSRP off the top of my head but I put down $5,000 and her monthly payments are $398. 3 year/30,000 mile lease. This was our 5 or 6th car from the same dealer so we did get a deal.

Laiceps, since u leased many times, how does the return of the car go? Do people really come to your home to check the car and give you a final bill? Are they nice in general?

It actually varies from dealer to dealer. I never had anyone come to my house to check the car. I always just dropped the old car off at the dealers, got in the new car and drove off. Within a month of you dropping the car off you will get a letter from Mercedes acknowleding that you returned the car and the condition they found the car in. If there was any damage to the car it would be stated in this letter with the amount you need to pay for the repairs. If you want you can call a number and dispute the charges. Mercedes is pretty good about wear and tear on your car. Their rule is if the damage is smaller then a credit card you don't have to worry about it.

They never tried to bill me for anything or try to pin something on me. They are very professional that way. The only thing I would watch out for is driving over your alloted milage. The charges are pretty steep (about $0.25 per mile) if you go over your pre-agreed milage. If you think you'll be needing more miles you can always call MB Financial and purchase more miles. Overall it has always been a very pleasant experience for me to return a car.
