9k off in Florida
63% residual for 10k
.00146 MF

Probably going to do 12k for 62% residual and add the maintenance, $975 for 3 years, residual cost = <$370

C400
I thought I was getting a good deal but after reading all of these, I'm still at 620/mo. Here is the situation

C400...36mo, 12K miles LEASE
$58,900 MSRP
$4,000 down (covers taxs, bank fee etc)
$620/mo

Any thoughts on this? Im supposed to sign the papers tomorrow.

Is the high monthly because it's a C400 and cost of money is higher then C300?

What is your selling price you negotiated to... Which is Base Cap Cost? % state tax where you live? Did they give you a money factor?

The current numbers for c400 are:

58% residual for 36/15,000 miles

For the C400, can you provide the MF & Residuals for 10k and 12k miles, 24 and 36 months? This would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The only thing I got now for the C400:

36/15k ... 58% residual
36/12k ... 60% residual
36/10k ... 61% residual

Standard MF (.0018-.0020)

Better deals on C300 right now where the Base MF is .00136 and with auto pay: .00126

SoCal and NorCal folks, which dealer has been the best in giving deals?

I'm looking at a 36mos/15k lease. Residual is what exactly? 62%?? Thanks.

In NoCal I would say Beshoff, Stevens Creek and Walnut Creek...

In SoCal there are a ton... Keyes European, MB Foothill Ranch, MB of Long Beach, Walter Mercedes in Riverside. Those seems to be the main dealers giving the good deals like 7K off MSRP.

The Residual for C300 is 60% for 36/15K

The residuals on a c400 is 2% lower then the c300... That basically adds another 1k to your total lease amount payments over the term of the lease.

Nice on thr $9,000 less than MSRP. Does that include any fleet incentives? The ABA got me a further $3,000 off. I believe USAA had the same. You cannot combine fleet discounts.

The deal I got is pending. I'll reveal the dealership once I've got it all done on paper. I already put down $1K on it. I was going to order a car from a dealer, but it wouldn't get started until mid May, with a delivery slated for July.

I then contacted a NorCal dealer that I had previously purchased from and told them what I wanted, namely $9K off. But better yet, they were able to locate the car I wanted almost down to the exact options I wanted at the VPC, already built and waiting for transport. So I'm hoping to get it next week or so.

So my deal was MSRP $53K (C300 sport, loaded with nearly everything except driver assist and parktronic), minus $9K for $44K, I put $1K down payment, 3 yr lease, 15k miles per year: $505 a month including taxes.

Sweet! sounds like a great deal. I am also finalizing my deal, my dealer (Beshoff) said there are incentives coming after the 3rd of April. Lucky you the car you wanted was already built.

Never leased a car before - new C300 with 92 miles

Ok so I am leasing for the first time, always owned the cars but leasing first time. Dealer has a car with options I like but has 92 miles, dealer proposed additional $200 off from originally negotiated price. Since I am leasing is 92 miles a big deal should i ask for more money off? This came up when I asked dealer for miles on the car as I am picking up the car tomorrow I told them that I don't want any surprises and want to know exactly miles, fees and terms upfront. The most miles I ever had on a new car purchase is 12 so little disappointed but since leasing not sure if this matters. Philadelphia area.

How is this deal?

51965 msrp
43500 negotiated

467/month including state sales tax, 36 months 15k miles/year, 0 down or cap reduction.

1st month's payment, 795 acquisition, 500 title/reg/dealer doc fee = around 1762 drive off amount...

Is it worth pushing more?

He did not go into details, "We can finalize the pricing after April 3rd, as new programs will be released".

They are tight lipped until than (understandably), but it may work out even better than I expect - 10k off? who knows, I will post when I know.
