Not bad! I'll use this! The offer I see now is $349 with $3743 down not including tax and fees. Those are about $1200. But that's based on a $35,925 msrp. If my maths not off with zero outta pocket a $35,925 MSRP should be $486 mo. So not only are you $53 mo cheaper but into a $5,170 more expensive of a car. I'd really like to know how you pulled that off because with $1,500 down I'd be under $400 mo.

Hi guys (and girls).
My first post - I just got back from the dealer where I leased a CLA!
It's a 2014 CLA250 4-matic in Jupiter red, black interior, multimedia package, premium package, HID/Xenon, black ash trim and the 18" black AMG rims. I actually wanted white but saw this thing and thought "yes... yes, I can handle red"
MSRP was $39,170, I got the car for $35,500 and I am paying $1,900 out of pocket. 0.00145 money factor and 66% residual on a 36mo/10k mile lease.
How is that deal? I also got a very fair price on my trade, right in line with KBB trade-in value.
Car should be ready by noon tomorrow. I'm psyched to get it. The car is beautiful and I love the taillights (I know, sounds silly, but I do!).

I'd really like to know how you pulled that off because with $1,500 down I'd be under $400 mo.
I should also note that this monthly payment also includes 3 years of pre-paid maintence so the actual car payment is less.
The way I received the pricing is letting the dealership manipulate the the numbers anyway they needed to achieve the monthly payment I required. Now for a lot of people this is heresy because the actual vehicle price is the most important thing to them.
I requested two things as far as money is concerned, a $400 a month max payment and zero money down upfront for the deal.
As far the car only 3 options were mandatory and everything else was negotiable.
-Sport Package
-Bi-xenons/ lighting package
-4matic
The payments started off at almost $700 for this car and then we worked it down. Persistence is key and also not getting attached to a specific car will give you the advantage. Btw all of the pricing was done via email and over the phone. I only walked into the dealership to pick up the car. I'm not going to write out the whole negotiation process here are a few tips that always have helped me get some "fantastic" deals.
-Shop for a car with no emotional attachment.
-Work with the "internet sales" department. They will usually pass you off to a newer sales guy who is eager to actually sell a car.
-Always be honest and upfront about what you want. If they can't deliver, don't be upset and move on
I don't recall the exact numbers now but I believe they discounted the car between $3500-4000 and payed for my taxes. Plus I ended up pretty nicely optioned car.
Hope this helps!

2013 Scion FRS, soon 2016 CLA 250
I just ordered my car June 8th, expected delivery is Oct, a delay on some of the option i wanted give a build month of August. Any my first lease, with a credit score around 660 and should be higher when its time to lease, at just under 45k with 5k down on a 36 month lease with 15k miles a year, they told me 499 and then 50$ for taxes, so 549. Im paying 540 a month for my Scion FRS so the payment wont affect me much, i may go as high as 8k down if it helps my payments that much better. Im getting just about everything but 4matic and drivers assist
