Hey Finance Person,

i have 40K Mike’s on my 2015 S550. The manufacturer warranty expires April 2019.
What can I expect to pay for an extended warranty?
I live in Maryland is there a dealership you’d recommend to purchase a EW?

He hasn't been on here since 9/2017 so it might be a while if you're waiting for a response.

I would try the vendors mentioned in the extended warranty subforum, there's 3-4 vendors mentioned all the time that are very competitive.

HI

I live out here in canada, so don't know how different the situation is going to be.

A couple of months ago, I bought a 2017 c300 basic sedan 4matic . But soon got bored of it because its a basic with the least packages on it as it was purchased by a rental company and returned at the expiry of the lease.

Now I'm looking at a loaded dark grey 2015 c300 4matic with all the desired features (except one; doesn't have the intelligent lighting system.)

It has 74k kms on it but since it comes with a 2 year/120k extended warranty. I am willing to compromise.

The one that I own could be estimated for a trade-in appraisal for anywhere arounf 25-28k (CAD !). But the one that I'm trying to buy is 36k.So already, I'm in a bad position.

Little bit about myself. I work here as a retail manager making around 50k (CAD !).The last loan that I took was approved at 5.74% APR.

I have good credit standing. I know dealerships here have a cut they make depending on what interest rate they approve their customers.
I really want another car with all those cool features that make me look like I'm actually driving a premium vehicle.

I think I know a guy who could get me a discount since he claimed that he was a wholesaler and personally knows the dealership owner, so fingers crossed !

My first question is, the color isn't ideal (white or black are !) and the one that somehow could actually be in my budget doesn't have the intelligent lighting system or the ideal color.
So even if i'm looking at 10k worth of total losses put on top of me buying an older vehicle, it still bothers that I might not be happy in the future.
So should I wait for the ideal vehicle and hope its still around the same price ?


Secondly, my roommate's buddy got a loan approved from MB finance and he got a really nice 1.9% APR with is AWESOME, which was only because he had a mortgage under his name otherwise he had a good chance of getting a 0.9% interest.

When do you guys offer such great interest rates ? Could you let me know so I could shop around then !

what are some crucial points that i can use in order to negotiate ?? I really need some and I'm desperate at this point !

I'm willing to put upto $3000 CAD cash down to show the bank that I could be low risk , which I know just sounds absurd for someone who is buying a Mercedes.

Could you help me giving some advice here ?

I saw you answering people's financial queries and was amazed that they still make such amazing people like you !!!

Thanks in advance for taking your time to read this !

Hello,

I just ordered my 2020 AMG GTR also hoping to trade my 2018 G63 as well..Im a little upside down on my 2018 G63 because I owe more than what every dealers is offering me.
My question to you is what would be the best decision for my G63 and also can you give me the Residual value and the money factor for the GTR. I'm trying to have estimates between leasing and financing.
I'm looking into 36/48/60 months leasing witch ever fits me best and also a long term financing as well.
I would gladly appreciate your help.


Thank you so much,

I have a question regarding financing. I have a credit score of 680. I am thinking about an s-series. The question is: would my score qualify me for either lease or purchase; and which one is less hassle?

Courthaven

I am not the finance guy and I assume you didn't read many of the posts (or at least the most recent post before you asked your question) , lol. However, I am sure you can. You may not get the top notch interest rate, but you should be able to do either.

reymusic

leasing for sure but you can do either both...all that credit thing is a way to get more money from you but you can leasing or purchased with even a lower score with great credit history

Good Day All-

I hope you are well.

This may be a silly question. Near the end of my long time waiting for my vehicle to arrive I was asked who I worked for to see if there were any incentives. I did not hear anything then after I got the vehicle they emailed me two documents to sign and one is an EAB document for a $500 incentive. Shouldn't they cut me a check for that if I sign it?

Best regards, Tony

Hi, I've noticed that MB Finance web site does not allow more than a 25% downpayment. Can this be true? Also can you please describe the advantages, or not, of balloon financing?
Thanks, Jerome

Wow, I found this thread via search. I'm new to the mbworld forums. Thanks for the heads up.
Any suggestions on where I might find answers to my Qs?
Thanks, J

Courthaven

I do know that you can put down more that 25 percent. I did in December.

I just purchased a 2019 E53 from a MB dealer in Chicago. I elected to buy the 4 year/40000 mile prepaid maintenance plan. As best I can tell, this is a plan offered by the manufacturer, not the specific dealer, because I can get the maintenance at any MB dealer. The car was purchased without financing. I was charged 2,365 for the maintenance plan, but the MBUSA site shows a price of 1,965 for the plan. Are MB dealers allowed to charge more than what is shown on the MBUSA site? Do you think this was just a mistake? Funny that the price is an even 400 higher. Maybe the MBUSA site is behind in its updating? What do you think?

rbrylaw

I think what you'll find is the service plans you see in MBUSA are the basic services, whereas most dealers provide more services in the prepaid plans, including such things as wiper blades, etc. To be sure, speak with your dealer about the difference in price, but I think you'll find this is the case.

Frankenswat

Does MB financial use the TransUnion fico score or the fico auto 8/9 score?

Hi,
I wanted to inquire about Mercedes Benz credit tier. I have had a couple slips and my credit is high 500s. My coborrower is low 700s. What are my chances of getting a decent lease rate?

Thanks!
