Dec vs Jan Lease Programs?
I am scheduled to pickup my e class on the 2nd of January, which is still considered to follow the December lease programs. My dilemma is if anyone knows if typically the January numbers/programs would be better in general? (Which then I can just pick up the car on the following day on the 3rd....)
Currently they are offering a 3 month payment waiver when going from a c class to a 2018 model, Wondering if they would change this to a 5 month payment waiver or the lease program would be better in general? (Ex. Money factor, Residual, etc)

can't you put dec & jan deal next to each other?
in general a lease company needs to hit a yearly target,
and the question is whether yes or no they hit that by December..
If the answer is yes, then most likely the deal will be better in january

This is a difficult one since there is never an "always" answer. However, typically, December is THE BEST month to buy a car. That said, it also depends on the model of car, lease vs. finance vs. cash, term of lease, etc... Could be they offer a 5 month but the money factor goes up or they reduce the cash available to the dealer. You'll never be guaranteed it is the best but by industry standards, if you buy in December it is typically the best option.

Ive been with MB for 12 years, with the past 5 years in sales. Ive never seen january be a better deal than december. ESP these last 4 days, you can almost name your deal and well take it. with a lease, if you just name your payment (realistically) its more than likely to happen.
