I just noticed that the build your 2015 c class button is now present and active on Canadian website www.mercedes-benz.ca

C300/C400 4M Lease Rates:
24 months, 4.9%, 75% residual
36 months, 4.9%, 67% residual
45 months, 6.4%, 61% residual
60 months, 6.6%, 51% residual

MB Canada either made a mistake on the residuals, or the new C is ridiculously cheap to lease. At these rates, you would be stupid to buy or finance this car.

What about usa rates?

whoa that's a really great residual.

Is this introductory as in for the launch of the vehicle of for the month of September ?

I tried my build for a 36 month lease term and for 24000km a year and I get a 57% residual.
I plan to purchase and and sell after a few years. I think it will still work out to be better than a lease in terms of total expenditure especially if the lease rate is 4.9% and banks are giving out 3.5% home equity lines of credit. Also after a lease is over, and the vehicle is returned, MB will probably sell the car for 3 or 4 k more than residual on the open market. And that is after they have charged you for overages....

The residuals are based on 18000km/year and no options. Adding options will change the residual numbers.

Will Canada get the Garmin navigation option on the Audio 20?

Sorry for the crappy pictures but since I haven't seen any pictures that was posted here about the real NA W205 I obligated myself to post some. The ipad screen is really toy like if you ask me.

When configuring the C400, Partial LED lights are included (normally a $900 option in the C300). However to upgrade to the full LED lights, the cost is $1200, the same cost as the full LED light cost for the C300. What about the $900 for the partial LED lights that were part of the package C400? Should the full LED not be just $300 more?

You're right. It could be a misprint. I also find MB brochures are full of errors.

jbbeauso

Makes sense but they gave me no credit for the partial led included on the stock c400. I was charged 1200 for the active LED on my bill and that doesn't include the high beam assist that was left off my order for another 250. The combination goes on the US model for 800 total!

Its my experience that MB always gives very high residual value on new or updated launch models. The Audi BMW folks are always surprised by the high 60's rate for 36 month leases.
The weird build for us Canadians is the odd bundling of the Premium plus between the 300 and 400; also Luxury not available on the 400 Intelligent Drive not available on the 300.
For what would be my third MB the dealer can get me into one now.
Interesting part is my lease end is Jan 2015��
I did two builds on the website so I sent him the build codes he is looking through the current inventory.
They never have what I want �� I tend to load them up with options and packages.

hmm I was at the local dealer today and noticed that the C400 didn't have the analog clock. Are all Canadian versions of the car missing that?

jbbeauso

Did it have the plastic glossy control panel? I think only the wood grain trims have the analogue clock. Ie open pore black Ash etc

the sport package package should include that on C400.

on c300, it is amg interior package 850 option (in conj. with sport)


also with regard to the LED being 1200. I noticed that too and my sales friend said it is how it is, you pay the full price for the upgrade. despite C400 includes that partial LED option which normally costs 900.

The online "configurator" is missing the AMG interior package as a option on the C300.

Residuals look really good, but those interest rates are ugly. 6+% on that 45 month lease, yikes.

The configurator has some errors. It allows you to add the open pore black ash trim as a $250 option on the c300. When I visited a dealership I was told you had to upgrade to the sports package. Also not on the website but information I got at the dealership was that the 360 degree camera is part of the premium plus package on the c300.

Leslielp

This is true, I also had my order with the open pore but it is mated to the AMG Package which is not listed on the Online build app.


If you are going to get one, it will not cost you anything to go down, test drive and put in an order exactly the way you want.
The list of "unpublished" option packages seems to change weekly


I found out that the official Canadian Launch date is not until late September so they are not supposed to deliver just let you test drive and put in an order. Its funny since the dealership I was at had a White C300 in the pick up bay

I test drove a c300 today. Very impressed. I didn't drive a c400 but the c300 had more than ample power. The salesperson I was dealing with was looking at the inventory on his computer and while some vehicles said sold others said delivered.
