Hey all
 
I'm looking to lease a 2012 Mercedes C250 Coupe - the MSRP is $45,060 and they're willing to take $1500 off the top to a selling price of $43,560. It comes at the mid-level range - heated seats, nav system, memory passenger and driver seats, 18 inch 5 spoke wheels, leather seats. It's really nice. And its actually exactly what I'm looking for. They have to deliver it from another dealership too.
 
They're offering 2500 down, at 620-640 a month (depending on credit report). My dad is co-signing with me so approval shouldn't be a problem.
 
Question is - do y'all feel this is a good deal for a lease for what the car is? I'm new to this process. Thanks.

You're very welcome rxke. Thanks for taking the time to let us all know how everything turned out. $500 over invoice is a good selling price. Enjoy!

Here's the information that you're looking for sunnyfl1.
 
Mercedes-Benz Financial's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2012 C250 Coupe with 7,500 miles per year are .00225 and 78%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1 credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are .00225 and 70%.
 
The numbers for the 2012 GLK350 4Matic are .00135 / 69% for 24 months and .00135 and 60% for 36 months.

Car_Man,
 
Do you have the November lease numbers for C250 Coupe at 36 months/12,000 miles with Tier 1 credit? Thank you in advance.

I have a question for you. I am intersted in leasing a Mercedes Benz C300 4MATIC. I am currently leasing a 2009 Altima in which I have 9 payments left(totals $3,303.00), my car is also out of Warranty.(which is another reason why I am considering getting out early because I am leasing an out of warranty vehicle) Mercedes Benz in dc area, is telling me that they have conquest cash to help incentivize me to get out my lease and come over to Mercedes Benz. Is this somthing that you might reccomend or have any insight too?

Hi bblack1914. Mercedes dores have conquest cash, but this probably isn't some sort of limited time offer. The conquest cash has been available for several months and it will likely be available for the foreseeable future. The conquest cash that is available on the 2012 C-Class wouldn't even be enough to cover all of your remaining Altima payments. You'd still be on the hook for over a grand. If I was in your situation, I personally would wait until I was closer to the end of my scheduled lease o get something new.

Hi Car Man!
What about the C350 coupe?
Do you have the November money factor and residuals for the 2012 Mercedes C350 coupe?

Thank you for the info Carman; however, I ended buying the car instead of leasing (made more financial sense in “MY” particular case).
 
I compared prices using CARWOO and TRUECAR, my personal experience and advice is to use both services (paid $99 for carwoo service) I was very surprised because the carwoo offers were significantly lower than the truecar prices. The lowest price was offered by a dealer in Jacksonville, FL (6 hours from Miami) and with that offer I was able to negotiate with my Miami dealer and save me the trip.
 
Car info:
 
C250 palladium silver
Almond/Mocha MB-tex
Burl Walnut wood trim
Command single disc package Nav
18”AMG 5 dual wheels
Sirius XM
Wheel locks
 
MSRP $41,710
 
$38,422 final price (taxes and DMV fees NOT included) Includes $1500 conquest incentive (I have an Acura) I know is not a jaw-dropping deal but is very decent.
 
Lease offer was decent with proposed monthly payments of $416 including FL taxes having in consideration that I was able to reduce the MF using 10 security deposits and autopay feature
 
Since I plan to keep the car with minimum mileage over 5 years (my office commute is less that 2 miles roundtrip) I opted for the financing: I made an $8k down payment (no need for gap insurance) getting 2.99% from MB financial no payments until 2012.
 
LOVE the ride, already got compliments by starngers and that mercedes vault feeling when you close the door
 
Hope this helps for those looking for info.

Hi CarMan
The final deal was even better thanks to a very reasonable salesperson who I told I would not go to another dealer(who was also local-westchester county-ny) if we could agree on a reasonable deal that both of us could be happy with. I did that because he was the dealership I test drove the car at. He understood that I knew the numbers thanks to you.
List: $41,720
Price: $37,253 (which was invoice)
residual: 67%
term: 30 months
Interest rate: .00132
Zero down payment
Bank fee/plates/1st months payment/etc. $1588.92
Monthly payment: $440 taken directly out of my checking account
 
Thank you again for the wonderful job that you do.
