Hey rxke. $250 over dealer invoice minus the conquest cash is a very good price.
 
Mercedes-Benz Finance's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 C250 Sedan with 15,000 mile per year are .00195 and 63%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
In order to use this program to work up a payment for you I need you to provide me with this car's full MSRP as well.

Hi Gattani. The numbers that you were quoted are actually pretty close. The residual value is spot on. Mercedes is not currently providing any lease support on this car so your money factor would be whatever MB Finance's standard is for your credit tier and area. I have seen .00225 for Tier 1 customers, but .00250 isn't that far off.

Hey c300sportlease. Savvy consumers who are in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to beat manufacturers' official advertised lease deals by negotiating a lower selling price than the advertised payment was based upon. I suspect that will be the case if you shop around for the C that you're interested in.

Car_man,
 
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, there is only 1 Mercedes dealer in my area. But, I have contacted other 3-4 of the nearest dealers & am willing to travel there to buy if necessary. I'm hoping that my local dealer will be willing to match other dealers so that I can buy locally.
 
As previously noted, the advertised Lease Special is based upon a gross cap cost of $39,616. Can you offer any insight into how much below that figure I might be able to negotiate?
 
Thanks again for your help!

Thank you gurus for your responses... car_man.. thanks for confirming the numbers. Decided to drop the lease idea altogether as the economics did not make sense assuming I could easily keep the car for 5-6 years. Hope it does well in reliability department.
 
So the way the deal worked out was 10.5% off of MSRP 43,500 so Around 38900 streight purchase ( before tax, title and doc fee). plus MB financing of 1.9% with 0 down. HTH for others in the market.

Hi Carman
After speaking with a conveniently located dealer he offered $500 over invoice (the lowest price I got was from Truecar was $250 under invoice from a dealer 45 min away) and a 67% residual value (30 month lease/12k per year in NY-no moeny down) and a money factor of .00182 plus a $2000 conquest discount because I had an Acura TL. Based on the options I take the: MSRP is $43,105/ Invoice of $40,150/ sale price: $40,650 minus $2000 is $38,650). I figure the monthy lease with taxes is about $480 per month. Am I close? I do not know if I have to pay ad fees, etc.
 
You have been a great help in the past by making me a really good negotiator with dealers. I also use Automotive News(weekly pub) that usually shows both consumer and dealer incentives each month.
 
Thanks again for all that you do.

Just piced up the car yesterday. NIce and smooth pickup. Found out just in time that MB usa has 0.9% financing. The rate drops to 0.65% if you set up an ACH auto pay at the time of the loan application itself.

you are getting the car at 10.69% off of MSRP . I got mine ( a 350) at 10.5% . I had the conquest for my Acura too....
So applying that logic you are coming off a couple of hundred dollars better.
 
On top your price, your MF and residual are just very good and seem to matching the figures car_man provided on this forum.....( I could get no where close on C350). Good luck and enjoy.
