C55-Potential Buyer Question

Well, my lease will be up in december on my current 3 series and I started to look at the new C55. I am in love with it, and so I'm pretty much set on getting it, but I do have some questions for you MB owners.

1. When would i have to order my C55 if i want to have it by the end of December? How long is the wait? How long is the list?
2. Since i have never dealt with MB, was wondering if anyone knows what kind of LEASE payments i can be looking at with $3500 down, 39 month @15k. I would be only adding Xenons as an option.

All your help is grealy appreciated.

Expect to pay asking price at a minimum with no negotiations. Do not expect anybody to even hint at the actual price until they release this information. Expect to be potentially shocked at the price, but maybe not. Waiting time from my experience and understanding is anywhere from 5-9 months, with, once-again, no guarantees, just updates on where your car is.

Lease payments are a dealer question.

I would definitely opt for the rain sensor wipers which are a bargain for the price as well.

P.S. I find that the people on these forums are much more knowledgable than the dealers. A good place to ask questions.

Go for the C55 rather than the S4. Even if its a higher price, you get much more...
