That sounds VERY strange. Those terms are very long, I would try to stay under 60 months. I put down about 8200 down and I am 991/month on a 60 month purchase. Granted my car does not have Factory Command option and they sold it to me for 2500 below msrp.

I leased my C55 which retailed at 58,800 with no money down for $890/month out the door for 39 months and 10k miles/year.

My car includes: Premium Package, Lighting Package, Maple Wood, Granite Gray Paint ($680), All Season Mats.

I'm 21 so i dont mind the long term. I have my place rented out and live with my parents. I have tons of income to throw away. :p I really want this badly. Yes my other option is just buying a C32 for under 38k used. If I do the used C32 it will be a 60 month term.

Just a suggestion, but if you have tons of income to throw away, why don't you put more down and pay less per month?

Get a copy of the DuPont Registry and call a few brokers before bending over for DCFS. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised -- I know I was.

well 12k is plenty thats the most out of my savings im willing to give up. Its almost 20% and 20% on a benz is a pretty nice down payment. If not Ill just opt for a C32.

I even made plans with my cousin to debadge it and give him the C55 rims for his C230 sport and I get his sports rims. SLEEPER> :v
