Hi them3. This probably car has a spread of around $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. There's $1,000 dealer cash certificates out there on top of that. The $4,600 discount that you were quoted looks great to me.
 
Having said that $5,500 is way too much money to pay at lease signing. I assume that a decent chunk of that money is a capitalized cost reduction. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, it's much safer to go with a zero down lease.
 
Also, make sure that the dealer uses Mercedes-Benz Financial's buy rate of .00113 to calculate your payment.

Welcome xshin. You're very welcome, I'm glad that you like it.
 
On an unsupported vehicle like this, a 36-month lease will likely result in a lower monthly payment than a 24-month term would.
 
This car's lease payment will vary depending upon what sort of selling price you negotiate. For now I will assume a $3,000 discount. Let me know if you want me to use a different price.
 
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2013 C350 4Matic Coupe that has an MSRP of $53,985 and a selling price of $50,985 through Mercedes-Benz Financial right now for 36-months with 7,500 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $632.

Thanks Car_man!
 
That is a pretty substantial drop from January. Is there a better lease term for the 2013 C250 Sport Sedan mf .00124 and residual 60% than 24-months?
 
Thanks!

Car_man,
 
Thanks for the information; this will definitely be very useful when going to my dealer in a few weeks! I will keep all this information in mind; I didn't even realize 7,500 miles per year was an option - the website only lets me go down to 10,000 lowest. Can I also get the residual and/or money factor that you used for these calculations as well so that I can talk about these with the dealer when I go? Thanks again for everything!

Thanks Car_Man! That was really quick! Does either rate improve if the lease is for 39, 42 or 48 months based on the same 10k miles?
 
Thanks!

     Was hoping you could provide me with MB Financials February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 2013 C250 Sport Sedan with Multimedia & Premium package for 15,000 miles per year at 36 and 48 months?
 
Thanks- it is very much appreciated

How did you get over $10,000 off the MSRP? Is Mercedes running dealer incentives? I see no real specials being advertised.

Hi Car_Man
 
Have just joined but appreciated your insight and knowledge for quite some time. Am thinking about leasing a c63 2013. Wanted to check in on current buy rate moneyfactor as well as residual for February. What do you think regarding discount off of MSRP? I have read of some pretty significant discounts (in the 10% range)... Also any thoughts on seasonality insofar a it relates to lease deals? Is now the best time or is early spring perhaps better? Thanks in advance for the info.
