2015 C300 Sedan
Question First Time Mercedes Benz & First Time Lease

Hi all. I'm seriously in preparation to lease a 2015 Mercedes Benz C300 Sedan. I've test-driven the car & though it's a bit small, I really like it. I'm worried about getting a bad deal though. This would be my first Benz & my first time Leasing! I want the premium, multimedia package & panoramic roof. I need navigation, want rear view camera & want heated front seats. They said I'd have to have the 2 packages to get those. I prefer white on the exterior color & don't care too much for any particular interior color. I've been reading the forum and see that some people have had issues with black MB tex seats bleeding. That makes me nervous because most of the white C300s have black interiors.

I have one quote so far:

Sale Vehicle: New 2015 MERCEDES BENZ C CLASS C300W 4dr Sdn C300 Sport w/AC , Automatic , Odom: 0

Payment Details
Term 36
Base Payment 375.02
Total Payment 408.78
Purchase Option 28,431.30
MSRP 45,615.00
Est. Miles Per Year 10,000
Disposition Fee 595.00
Excess Mileage Charge 0.25


Amount Due at Signing
1st Month Payment 408.78
Acquisition Fee 795.00
Fees & Insurance 432.75
Upfront Taxes 77.86
Total Inception Fees 1,714.39

Total Cash Required on Delivery 1,714.39

The monthly payment seems on the high side to me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! This girl needs some expert advice. Thank you in advance. (I'm in Southern California)

that's pretty good, in my opinion. i was quoted $430 for a cheaper MSRP but with 12k miles/year

my car is about $520/month, $52k MSRP, $1300 Total cash required, $32,971 residual
but mine has the 3 year maintenance package

we are paying roughly the same in terms of percentages of value. good deal

Does yours have MB Tex or Leather? And what color interior?
You had a high MSRP, so you must have lots of options on your car.
I'm hoping for even better deal than the numbers I have so far. **hopeful**
