Buh Bye C32.... Hello C55

Well,

My ordeal is finally over, hopefully. I had recently bought a used C32 from a dealership.

https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/111209-bummed-out.html

I decided to return the vehicle after many internal battles in my head. Work took me to the town where I purchased this vehicle. I went to see the general manager today.

If you guys are not aware MB is running a lease special on 05 C55's. $679/mo, $4474 out of pocket, 10k a year for 39 months with a money factor of .00125. This is for a $57500 car with lighting and premium package.

http://tinyurl.com/7haoq

I was able to get a 05 C55 Blk/Blk with lighting/premium/Nav for $695/mo with 5k total out of pocket and $12k mi. a year and my 3% sales tax rolled in. I am pretty happy but doubt I will get my car untill after the holiday weekend as they have to get it from another dealership, prep it, and then ship to me.

Pics will come when I get it. Thats if I can stop drving it long enough to take pictures!!! :v

Congrats.... great choice, you'll love it!

That's a great money factor ~ to a 3.00% APR.

I was able to obtain a 3.99% APR streched 72 months on a purchase. My monthly payment is $698.

You may be able to call them today and see if you can redo the paper work. The paper work may not have been submitted yet. Worth a shot, but I would call them when they open. Also, the .00125 money factor is for tier 1 financing, ie. your have tho have a stupidly high credit score.
