Even without the (goodwill + private lounge) discount you got 13% off MSRP??
That sounds awesome

 

This is the first time i am leasing a car and this is the leasing info for my c43 coupe. any thoughts or insight would be very helpful. Thanks guys.

 

This is not a good deal. You are only getting $1,000 off MSRP. First, you should negotiate the lowest price possible, then go from there. You are also putting down $5,500. When leasing, you don't put down ANY money. Where does the $10K "due at start" come from? Overall this lease "deal" is not in your best interest and you should renegotiate, find a broker, or find a different dealer.

Here are some articles:

Thanks for clarifying the MB goodwill discount. We've currently have an MB, which we have owned for several years, but we haven't purchased 7 MBs. Thanks again and enjoy the new car!

 

Ok Peeps, here's my ordered build. Expected delivery is Feb.

Thoughts? Several of you on this thread are showing MSRP's right around $66k, same as mine and getting your monthly payments MUCH lower than what they quoted me. Several I've seen on here were under $700/month with $2k down.

Anyone with experience ordering theirs from scratch and any discounts they took advantage of? I'm looking to do 12,000 over either 36,42 or 48 month lease. The quoted monthly payment is $1,089/month...but again, I've not bargained or leveraged at all thus far.

I live in dallas, TX in case that somehow helps. I know deals/rates vary state to state.

Quick question, I have a Mercedes friends and family discount and I'm about to put in an order for a c43.

The sales person I'm working with says I need to give the discount code now and I'm a little skeptical.

Why do they need it? I'm not buying the car from them right now, I'm just ordering it. I don't think it's needed to put in an order but does Mercedes work different than BMW/Cadillac?

i would think I need the code when the car is delivered, it's what I ordered, and we would be doing the purchase paperwork.

Am I wrong or is the code needed to put in the order?

$1k seems crazy, your build doesn't seem too unique that you can't find it elsewhere. An order shouldn't be too much different than taking one off the lot.

I personally don't think it's worth it, I don't care for the 4 series, but I'd jump in one of those for $400 less.

True...although as of two weeks ago, there was only one car in the states in Selenite gray that had most of my specs. It didn't have vented seats, carbon fiber, and it added the $500 steering wheel i don't personally care for or need. If i'm spending the money, I would rather have it exactly how I want it.

So to your point, if the MSRP is 67k on my build but had I found the exact car on a lot for the same price, I should still be able to get the same deal as if it WERE sitting on the lot somewhere, correct? I feel like there's some implied "penalty" or "cost of doing business" by having ordered one and not just picked one up off the lot.

I looked at the 4 Series for quite some time and actually had my heart set on the M4. However, when you strip down all the various pros/cons, the m4's starting price is the same as my fully-loaded C43 and i've driven both....C43 wins on interior and looks, but the M4's extra 63hp is nice! Both are great cars, but for my purpose, I'm all in on the C43. Coming from a very heavily sports-centered car, with no clearance or suspension comfort, I'm ready for a better balance of sport/comfort/technology.

Ok I thought it was the regular black, you should get what you want!
As far as dealer stock vs orders, I still think you should be relatively close in price.

I'm ordering a Z06 in about two months, orders are going for about 10% to 11% off from the nations largest dealers...stock units are going for 10% to 12% off...I'd think MB should be relatively similar, except for the dealers that think they're too good for you.

My lease on my 200hp C250 is up in March, I was going to buy Ford Fiesta, lease C43, buy C63, or buy Z06...I think the Z with 650hp should be a nice bump in power from the C250

 

is this a good deal?

MRSP $56,725
Discounted Price $50,700
Money due - $1,838
Monthly payment - $745.67

Lease term - 36 months/15,000 miles

I think the sales person is trying to pull a fast one. They have a $63k MSRP C43 sedan in the showroom for which he quoted me $892 (on 12/3). I had gotten a quote on the same car for $740 a month with the fleet discount on 11/27. All of the quotes include the fleet discount.

How can the MRSP before the discount be $6k ($63k vs $57k) lower but the payment be $5 more.

 

I don't know where anyone will be able to get an equivalently equipped 435/440 for $400 less monthly. I'd take the 4 series for any discount greater than $150 monthly over the C43.

 

I was quoted 440i for $650 a month
That's over $400 less than the $1,089 he posted

Sounds pretty good

 

Thanks an amazing deal.

Have you seen the actual build sheet? All of the build sheets I've looked at for Michigan list all season tires coming from the factory. I checked with two dealers and they both confirmed their c43s in stock are with all season tires.

 

yeah I ot the build sheet and they are Summer Performance but after looking into the difference in performance characteristics when running summer performance tires in the summer and winter tires in the winter vs All Season Tires I'm happy with having the ability to have the best possible tires for the seasonal conditions. (BTW I ordered Pirelli Winter SottoZero 3 staggered fit tires). I'll probably pick up some nice black aftermarket RIMs for the Winters next year.

 

quick question, how many miles did you get for the lease? 12k?

 

Something is not adding up. I configured it on web and MSRP was 66k.
Could just be me

 

Here's the build sheet... I realize now I forgot to mention the Night Package!!! Black on Black!!

So the 19" Pirelli SottoZero winter tires (rear 55/35) are on backorder everywhere (including TireRack) until January 2018 so I went with the Blizzak LM-32 cause I cant wait till next year to drive this car!!

 

Thanks. I must have missed it was a sedan. It looks like the same options are more money on the coupe. In particular, the P2 package and and carbon trim

 

Hi,

I have been negotiating prices with several dealers in my area. I was given lease deal today for....

Selenite Gray - MSRP $61,745

$2500 Cash Down
48 months 12k annual = monthly payment $649

Premium 3 package

Does this look like a good deal? Should i keep negotiating? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hi all,

I picked this up about two weeks ago. I was pretty set on a 340i and was actually on my way to sign paperwork for one when the MB salesman I spoke with earlier in the day called me to offer this deal. I love the car and feel pretty good about the deal.

2017 C43 Sedan - MSRP $59,605
Negotiated Price - $52,000
$0 Cash Down
36 months 10k annual = monthly payment $601 ($650 w/ AZ sales tax)

66K C43 with all the right options, white on red $649 a month 45 months left 1000 miles per month. Let me know if anyone is interested. Just posted it on swapalease.

 

Can I ask you what dealer this was at?? This is WAY better than a deal I was just quoted on an identical C43.
