Porsche Macan S SportDesign / Ex M-B's: 11 & 10 & 06 E350's, 02 S500
I just checked and SoCal Lease Rates I found for the base W212 E350 is $699 PLUS Tax, almost 4K down, no free Maintenance, etc.
That's way too high for a bottom of the line E-Class.
That posted deal for the $599 (INCLUDING Tax), free Maintenance, $2K down seems like a really good deal for a brand new body E-Class.

Its a great deal even though its P1. You cant beat the free maintenance. plus my excellent credit was a factor in negotiating the interest rate which I got very low. Considering everyone Ive seen so far is paying over 650.00 a month on the same or almost exaxt car, I got a good deal.

4 Matic
Sport Package
P2
Driver assist
Driver Dynamic Seat
Rear Ent. System
MSRP (per 2010 pricing) $63755.00

Deal or not

Plus MB Manhattan is a factory store so they have a bit more leeway, especially if they have good customer svc. scores.
It's a good deal no doubt, but it's a very great deal - maybe not so much - I thought I saw the advertised deal on a commercial for $649 - so yeah at $599 it's pretty good, but the $649 I believe was for a 12k mile lease.

Black W212 E550
I had them down $4k on a E350 which they seem to be have room on-but when I switched the order to a loaded E550 they wouldn't move much (there aren't many of them around-he had to trade two 350's to the get the 550), I could only work them down less than a $1000.

In Cali, in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco Costco negotiated price is invoice for E550 and AAA price is $800 above invoice. So if you live in a small town might be worth your time driving to one of the above 3 cities as you can save $3-4k on your purchase.
In Los Angeles area and San Francisco area they are over 20 participating dealers honor the invoice pricing on E550 both sedan and coupe.

E350 4Matic
Bump
Just wanted to bump this thread and share my experience.
I was dealing with MB of Manhattan at the end on June (signed papers on 29th)
Initially I wanted Sport 4matic with P2. and my target was to 39 month lease for $650 tax incl./month
with 0 down (not really a 0, but I'd be OK with 1st payment+ acquisition + some paperwork fee).
I was coming out of 211, so 2K loyalty discount was expected.
Going back and forth few days I end up with one of their "in stock".
I got:
4matic Sport Arctic White with PANO, P2, Parktronics, AMG wheel package.
Total MSRP $61,100 something.
One more thing I bought that could have avoided is prepaid Maintenance.
But I made it my trading tool: "Look: I am paying YOU for someone else future work!" .
Reason for me getting it- service on my 211 at dealership was 2 times: $250 and $280.
So, paying $694 for at least 3 services seems like a fair deal to me.
At the end I got cap cost of $54,062 and my lease payment to 678.54 (pre tax)with 0 down.
At signing I paid:
Taxes -- 2,480.77
Acqustion - 795.00
First mnth- 678.54
Maintance -694.00
Bunch of fee-15*.00
--------------------
Total ====4,808.**
following by 38 Monthly payments of $678.54
PS. I know I probably shouldn't have prepay taxes and maintenance, but payments in 600 is what I was aiming for.
On another note - it still puzzles me how *ME* paying upfront maintenance is
increasing MSRP
though, they apply payment of it as cap reduction.

My cars MSRP was about $56K though (and I didn't get any Loyalty discount), and I think the "Selling Price" was $53K and change. Is that the Cap Cost too btw?

Both of those prices are very low, considering what the cars originally MSRP for.
Are there any Loyalty Discounts, etc.? Or just because they're looking to move 2010's?
For the E550, with 4-Matic and Loaded up like that, I'm shocked at that low sticker price. That's just $3K off of what my E350 with P2/Pano was listed at.
