Replying to: Car_man (Jan 31, 2006 4:44 am) Car_man, Thanks for your response..I negotiated the price down to $41045 (YES, $42045 was the MSRP)..this is the deal being offered:   Lease: 39 Mos, 15k/year Pay approx. $1900 up-front (1st Month payment $569 + DOC $199 + registration for 4 years $322 + acquisition fees $795 + sales tax $48) Monthly Payment: $569 Disposition Fees : $595   What do you think? Is the maintenance of the car included in the lease price...I forgot to ask   Thanks in advance. Michael Replies to this message: Car_man (Feb 19, 2006 7:41 am)

Replying to: assamese (Feb 03, 2006 7:55 pm) You're very welcome, Michael. A base 2006 C280 Sedan with 4Matic has a spread of around $2,400 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. You are being given a discount of $1,000 on the car that you are interested in. If you are in an area where there is a decent level of competition for your business, i.e several Mercedes dealers, I would not be surprised if you were able to beat this price by a little.   For now, I will estimate what this car's lease payment should be using the prices that you mentioned and Mercedes' actual lease program. According to my calculations, if you were to lease an '06 C280 Sedan with 4Matic with an MSRP of $42,045 and a selling price of $41,045 through Mercedes0Benz Credit right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $549. As you can see, this is a little lower than the payment that you were quoted. Mercedes-Benz made an unscheduled enhancement to its incentives on February 10th. I suspect that your lease was based upon the old program. Make sure the dealer that you're working with uses Mercedes-Benz Credit's current buy rate lease money factor for this model, .00185, to calculate your lease payment.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Can you tell me what the money factor is for March on a 2006 C230 sedan. Also, what is the bank fee and residual value? Selling price of $31,049   I was quoted 2.8 MF, and $1095 bank fee. Replies to this message: Car_man (Mar 20, 2006 3:11 am)

Replying to: lacoast (Mar 05, 2006 4:30 pm) Hi lacoast. This car's lease program varies depending upon how long you lease it for and how many miles per year you are allowed to drive it. Mercedes' most attractive lease term is usually 39 months so for now I will provide you with the info for that term and for a lease with the common mileage allowance of 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. If you were to lease a 2006 Mercedes-Benz C230 Sedan through Mercedes-Benz Credit right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00280 and 59%, respectively. MBC's lease acquisition fee is bad, but it's not as bad as the one that you were quoted. Its base fee is currently only $795. It appears as though the dealer that you are working with is marking up this car's fee to add a little hidden profit to your deal. Make sure to insist that you only pay $795.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#33 of 601 MB c230 Lease by msdavis Apr 12, 2006 (5:19 pm)
Dear car guy, Thanks for the help on my vw and my family members vw's. A good friend of mine is intrested in leaseing a mb c230 for 27 or 39 months and we were able to obtain the residuals but unable to confirm that 795 is the acc fee. Every dealer is quoting some variation form 895-1095. What I am also intrested is knowing the base money factors for those terms of 27 and 39 months. Thanks So much. Also is there any manufacturers cash that is combindable with the mb financial special lease?
#34 of 601 Not exactly a leasing question by puppykicker Apr 28, 2006 (9:58 am)
My question is about financing a new car purchase (C280) through MB-Credit, through a dealer in the DC area. I know that during April MB is offering 1.9% for up to 36-months, and 2.9% for 48-months, on new C-class purchases. I brought this up with my salesman, who pretended to act as if this was news to him (over three weeks into the month). He "found" the same information once he looked, however. He said that this was the rate the dealership got the money at, but that I would pay a markup (on 36-months) to somewhere between 3.0% and 4.0%, but that this was still a good rate.   My previous (all non-MB) purchases have been cash, so I don't have experience with manufacturer/dealer financing. Is it customary for dealers to do this sort of thing? Or just with those people that let them get away with it? Or, do I say that I expect the interest rate being offered and promoted by the manufacturer, period? (We haven't talked price yet, but I know this dealership is usually not particularly competitive. It's just the closest to my home, and I don't have the time or energy for a whole lot of shopping around.)   I didn't discuss leasing with the guy, but a lease could be appealing, given decent terms. Does this 1.9% rate on new C-class purchases imply that the money factor would be around 0.000792? That is, do leasing interest rates reflect promotional interest rates on new car purchases?   Thank you all very much.
