I am about to lease a C class. I dont think anything major changes between 2019 and 2020 models. I will be getting more discounts on 2019 VS 2020. So should I just go ahead and get 2019 models in this case?
Thanks.

Actually, I believe a lot of things come standard and the premium package changes to Sirius XM, burmiester sound, and ambient lighting. I am waiting for the 2020 as the MSRP still stands at $41,400. I also hope they fix some people’s problem of wind noise

"Lease incentives" get stronger this time of year for outgoing 2019's - by incentives I mean discount from MSRP gets stronger - and Mercedes Lease Rates get stronger too.

That said - specific selection at a particular dealer - or in a particular area for specific colors - interiors - features gets tighter. Especially for C-Class which has such a wide range of options - if there are certain colors/interior/features you want - if you have specific choice can get harder to secure as you get closer to 2020 launch.

Remember with Mercedes that Dealer Demo's like retired Service Loaners - get additional discount over new/new - and for leases every $500-$1000 in discount you can pickup off the top brings your payments down.

On Lease - also do yourself a favor and ALWAYS get MB Prepaid Maintenance - since for a MB Lease it is a residualized cost meaning your paying like 55cents on the dollar - dealer maintenance doesn't get any cheaper than that.

I had 2015 C300 (first year W205) then 2017 C43. I think the wind noise issue was fixed in late 2016. You really shouldn't have any issues with that.

Yea, good advise, I didn't think about that - MB Prepaid maintenance into lease. Thanks!

I have a 2016 C300, slight wind noise, can’t hear it with radio on but it’s definitely there when off
