#144 of 712 Re: Need Opinion On 2005 C230 Sport Sedan Deal [theshawn] by fireball Jan 08, 2005 (9:18 am)
Replying to: theshawn (Jan 07, 2005 11:34 am) I've contacted several dealers in my area (Tampa Bay, FL.) and only one will give me a firm price quote over the phone($2500 off MSRP on a car they have in stock that is not my first choice in color) without coming into the dealership. All the other dealerships have told me (over the phone) that they are willing to give me a "fair deal ABOVE THEIR INVOICE PRICE on a car". My local dealer with the car I'm interested in buying is not willing to budge off the $33,600 price... leaves me sort of stuck. I just don't foresee any "invoice", or "below invoice" deals on a 2005 C230K happening in my area. Any thoughts?

I will be shortly in the market for a new lease. Please post the lease deals you are getting for C230 sports-sedan for 3yr/36k time frames.   thanks

Replying to: theshawn (Jan 07, 2005 11:34 am) Are you still debating the purchase of this vehicle? If so, what is the color package. Dealers in NC are nowhere near this number.
#148 of 712 Lease Acquistion Fee? by ltrojan Jan 28, 2005 (1:48 am)
Hi all. I was at the dealership and they quoted me a Lease Acquistion Fee of $1095! That sounds way too much? I argued but no luck. Is this the right amount? I thought it would be much less than that? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Jan 28, 2005 8:08 am)

Replying to: ltrojan (Jan 28, 2005 1:48 am) Well, does it include anything else? First month's payment? Security deposit?   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions

Nope. Just the Acquistion Fee. I think they were trying to pull a fast one on me. I leased a C Class 3 years ago and the Fee was ONLY $595. What did other people pay for this fee recently?
#151 of 712 Good deal? by postnewbie Jan 28, 2005 (6:18 pm)
Hi all,     Please sound off your newbie alert because this is my third posting. Hope I don't sound to stupid with some of my questions   I just wanted to ask everyone if the Leasing special for the C230 sport sedan is good or not.   This is from the website: http://www.mbusa.com/brand/models/C230WZ.jsp but I'll try and summarize.   Montly payment $349. (10,000miles/month) MSRP of $32,180. Total gross capitalized cost of $31,046.94. Capitalized cost reduction $2,255 Acquisition fee $795 Total payments equal $16,661 Purchase option at lease end for $19,308 $0.25/mile over 32,500 miles   Now first off the terminology is throwing me off and after looking them up is Cap cost reduction just a down payment? is the Gross capitalized cost the agreed upon sale price of vehicle? I know I should be asking these basic questions in the leasing forum but hope you'll forgive me since I am trying to see if this is indeed a good deal.   Last question is about the First Class lease credit card, where you don't pay for anything smaller then a credit card. Sounds awesome on paper but how is it in practice? Anyone experience gotchas or is this just as it states?   Thank you in advance!!!

Replying to: postnewbie (Jan 28, 2005 6:18 pm) Not all that familiar with Mercedes leases.. but here goes..   Looks like a 39 month lease..   The gross cap cost looks like the sale price..Just $1100 off MSRP   The cap cost reduction is a downpayment..   Did it say anywhere in the ad, what the total due at signing is? Looks like it could be downpayment + acq.fee + 1st payment Total of about $3400...   Not a great lease deal for a car that only stickers for $32K.. Make the typical $400 upfront payment and this lease would be about $430/mo. for only 10K/yr.. and 39 months..   Not sure how the equipment levels match up... But, the BMW 325i at the same price level is a better lease deal, right now..   regards, kyfdx

I've never seen one of these manufacturer's leases that were a good deal. Everyone I looked at included a "down payment". Give me enough money up front and I can lease you an MB for $1/month! (I hope you get the idea.) Also, these are usually pretty stripped down models. The car you actually drive out with will usually have more options and have a correspondingly higher payment. Finally, the discount isn't as much as you could usually get in a bargaining session with the dealer.
