Mercedes GLC
Lease Purchase
The lease on my GLC is up in a couple of months and I'm thinking of buying the car. Does anyone know if the purchase price listed on the lease agreement from MB Finance is negotiable?

A gaggle of MB's
The residual from MBFS to you is fixed - meaning if you were to buy at the end of the lease from MBFS that is the exact price you would pay.
The smart thing to do is to visit your closest dealer - before turn in - and tell them you are interested to buy that GLC thru that dealer Mercedes Certified - and if they can meet (or beat) the MBFS price.
Dealer's often can get a price from MBFS - lower than your residual - which in a good # of cases is lowr enough to allow the dealer to inspect/service/certify and resell to you Mercedes Certified .
Whether buying from MBFS or buying-back-thru-the-dealer - both scenarios require you to finish the full term of your lease.
The 3rd scenario is moving "up/new" for another new (or demo) Mercedes - and in that scenario MBFS will credit the last 3-5 ending lease payments (depending on the model you move "up/new" to)... so a smart/professional dealer will be able to show you that option as well as a 3rd choice.
