Hey Sonofmer. Mercedes-Benz Financial's April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 C63 Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00145 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 42-month lease are .00145 and 52%.

Hi sportsman0202. The car that you're interested in probably has a spread of around $2,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. On top of that there's $1,000 owner loyalty or $1000 conquest cash that most consumers are probably eligible for. That's $3,500 to play with. I think that you can do better than the $1,200 discount that you were quoted.
 
Once you have arrived at a selling price that you are comfortable with, have the dealer calculate your payment using its buy rate lease money factor of .00190.

Re-posting with more detail:
 
2012 C300 Sport
MSRP with options: 43,370
Invoice Per Edmunds: 40,396
KBB fair value: 39,393
Miles: 10K
Term: 33 months
Down: 0
Trade-in: No
Monthly payment: 539/Month
Sales Tax: rolled into lease payments
First payment, including first monthly lease installment: 707
Old lease being replaced: 7 months left at 640/month
 
Money factor being used: 0.0177
 
As I discovered, for the purpose of sales tax, it doesnt matter where you buy the car. Matters where you live. so I'm stuck with that extra, being an Illinois resident
 
Any feedback is welcomed. thanks!

Hi kevlarvest. Have you finalized this deal yet? I ask because I heard that Mercedes significantly enhanced its lease offer on the 2012 C300 Sedan for May, by $40 to $50 per month. MB Finance's new special lease money factor for this car is .00092 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

I unfortunately did close the deal on the last day of April, after waiting for feedback here.. sure did look real solid, and never could I have imagined a money factor of 0.00092 becoming available. I incorrectly stated in my last post the money factor offered to be 0.017, it's 0.0017 obviously. from all accounts of previous posts here, sounded like I couldn't have done much better.
 
In fairness, all parts of the deal were good-looking (66% residual and 0.0017 by itself is good and I got a pretty good rebate on the selling price, based on KBB and edmunds guidance; shaking them down for an extra $800 at the end, 2 hours past their closing time) . The other neat part about the deal was that they treated my 7-month early lease return as a trade-in; thereby reducing the amount of ST I was on the hook for by ~2000; which swung the payment by about $60.
 
But to know that I could've done a whole bunch better will now bug me, atleast for a bit..:-| I hope you're wrong for my sanity sake.

to clarify, it was a variation of the deal above; not the same exact deal. Same monthly payment for more car (45600 MSRP, no down)
