I think its time to pull the trigger on a 2017 C43, and am looking to confirm that I'm getting a good deal. This is my first time leasing, so I am a complete novice!

Here are the numbers I've come up with:

MSRP: 62810
Selling Price: 53999
Fees: 1095
Trade: $5000
Cap Cost: 50094
Residual(55%, 12K 36m): 34546
MF: 0.0013
Tax: 8%

Monthly: $585.29

Does this look like it all makes sense?

Thanks!!

there are some fishy things going on here. but it looks to me you are giving them 4k in the cap cost reduction, and 5k on a trade in. so essentially 9k down. if this is the case, this is a bad deal.


i negotiated without any incentives or corporate perks 8% off. this would put you at 57.7k. this is an average mark down overall and probably the max a dealer can front alone. anything more would need to come from mb corporate somehow.

from the looks of it after doing some quick math, they gave you 6% off. took 5000 off your trade in and you are putting in 4k in cap cost reduction. overall in my opinion for a 2017 is not a great deal. id dig on them for at least 8% but 10-12% wouldnt be out of the question on an outgoing model.

C43 are rare but not impossible to find if you are willing to travel or have them shipped. being a 2017 id expect a larger discount.


also never put money down up front ie. cap cost reduction. if car is totaled, unless insurance covers it, youll be out money.
