2015 GLA250 4MATIC
I'm in the tri-state area and got a better quote than that on a 43000 msrp car. I decided to order the exact car I want for arrival in December. There are no incentives for this car right now and the dealers are expecting them to roll off the lot like the CLA.
End of year is when you see the best deals, that's why I'm waiting until December to lease mine. If you can wait a couple months, you should see incentives and discounts.

Frankly there are not enough GLA's being made this year ... so pretty much a "straight" deal thru the end of the year... like CLA's last year... so you know...

Not a great deal, but for a crossover, this is not that bad a deal at 66% residual.
I would find out if the 145 MF has been marked up or not.
I calculated a payment of $428 before sales tax using those numbers, unless you rolled all the fees into the payment.

Would you mind to share the Quote you got for the GLA

If you can, do multiple security deposits to lower the MF. If you don't know what MSD is, do a Google search and read up its benefits.

You cannot combine MSDs with promotional rates like you're getting, but you can do the Autopay as suggested to bring your MF down to 0.00135.
You may want to look at New York dealers, as NY caps doc fees to $75, while CT/NJ has no cap.

Personally I have never done MSD, but a friend of mine does it all the time with his BMW leases with special MFs.

MBFS is pretty stingy about MSDs compared to the competition. BMWFS may allow it, but MBFS does not (and generally BMW is better about leases, their standard MF is 0.00130 whereas MBFS charges 0.00195). Usually only the sedan/coupe E350 has promotional rates; so people buying E250, E350 wagon, or E550 pay the higher standard rate but can utilize MSDs.

I have to agree MB dealers often steer away from MSD. But I am not surprised the guy got the MSD deal on his E. They had to move a lot of E Class to compete with BMW.
GLA not so much.

I spent 5 hours last night helping a friend to lease a MB GLA250. I cant say its a great looking car nor that we got a great deal, but it was the best deal I could get out of all MB dealerships that we have here, considering GLA250 is a brand new car, and has been on the market only a month or so.
Here is the deal we got: MSRP $37,100
Sell Price :$33,500 (pretty much Invoice price)
Residual 66%
MF .0015 ( we could only get .00205, they wouldn't budge for the ,0015
$1,000 down
Acquisition fee $795, they charged us $1050 (also wouldn't budge any lower)
$595 Buy back fee (if he don't buy another MB )
Tax $545 only (so called tax pool )
Payment $405

Thanks!
The dealer didn't make money on the selling price, they made it up with markups on the lease rate and acquisition fee, and charged an additional $595 disposition fee, which should have been charged at lease return, not lease inception.
Or did I read you wrong?
