Should I pay MSRP, or are other concessions fine? by Petrocelli

31 months ago, I leased a Mercedes C280 for 39 months, with a payment of $585 a month, with no money down other than first payment and license fees. I get 15,000 miles a year. My lease runs out in October, but I am almost at my mileage limit, since the car has 49,500 miles on it.
 
The dealer offered me a new lease on a Mercedes C300 with a sticker price of $38,070.
 
I could buy out the last 8 lease payments for 3 lease payments. Stated differently, the dealer will pick up 5 payments.
 
Based on a sales price of $38,070, I will get a new lease for $635 a month, which is based on a residual of $18,700, and an interest rate of 3.96%. I put no money down, other than the first payment and license, and about $1,800 for the 3 lease payments. I pay 20 cents a mile for every mile over 48,500 miles.
 
I figure this is a good deal because I have exceeded my mileage now, so I am paying 20 cents for every mile I drive for the next 8 months.. If I turn the car in, I can start over.
 
I tried to haggle a little on price, but the salesman pointed out he is giving a lot of concessions by buying out the lease early, and waiving the mileage overage. Note that this will be the third car I have gotten from the same salesman.
 
As an aside, I use my car alot for business, and save my mileage checks. I have about $5,000 set aside in an account from mileage money.
 
Any thoughts on whether this is a good deal?

Hi Vilchez,
 
I'm looking to buy a 2009 C300 mercedez from Fletcher jones as well. W/ prem 1 pkg, Ipod, wood trim, 18" AMG wheels, and Navigation.
 
By any chance, do you happen to have the sales person's name who sold you the car? Is it okay if i reference your name? Sounds like you did a great job in negotiating the price for the car. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Lease Expiring Soon... by boltsfan

Leased C230 in June 2006 for 39 months and 15k miles (San Diego). I think they wanted to make a deal that day cause I only paid $100 in drive offs and payment is $471 per month. My sales guy says new deals come out all the time to trade in lease early with no penalty to get you into a new vehicle. Car is great shape but some scratches on the wheels so what can I except to pay in any damage "fees"?.
 
I want a 2008/2009 C300 Sport with the AMG, iPod wheels so what payment should I be looking at for a similar lease? The last 3 cars I have leased I have put zero down and zero out of pocket (except $100 to MB) at drive off. I could care less if the salesman is making zero money. The dealership needs to sell\lease cars to make their numbers.

Does anyone know what's the best deal out there for C300 w/ options? I'm trying to get it below invoice price. Which dealership gives out the best deal? I live in Southern California.

I just bought a White C350 w/ Navi & Ipod from Fletcher Jones Friday night. I was able to get the car below invoice price. You can get it for at least $2000 below inovice. If you live in cali, now is the best time to buy now. Salemen know the sales tax will increase 1% next month. They will do pretty much anything to push a sale.

Here's what I just bought:
 
C300 Sport
PII
Command/Multimedia
Wood Trim
iPod
Panorama Roof
 
*Chrome 17" wheels
*Wood Steering Wheel
*Spoiler
*Illuminated Door Sills
*Custom Badging on the back
 
The last 4 were all accessories that had to be ordered and installed after I bought the car (no C300 in the country had it). It's the wood wheel is listed as "only" avail on the luxury model, but House of Imports will install it on my sport. I got the deal $800 under invoice plus all of the labor on installation was included (I priced it at other dealerships and they wanted between 800-1200 just for labor). So, as I see it, it was $1600 under invoice, with a lot of extra work done to the vehicle. I might have gone elsewhere (FJ maybe) and gotten a little lower on the price, but the service I got at HOI was better than I got everywhere else and worth the few hundred difference.
