With the 2009 C's going into build, why isn't Mercedes blowing out the 2008's with great lease deals? The lease on the C is pretty unexciting....

Replying to: whatthehack (May 31, 2008 5:53 am) For a $38000 car, that a very unexciting lease. The Mercedes salesman will tell you that the resale on Mercedes cars is incredibly good....but then on a lease, uses a residual value that's less than most every one of it's competitors.....because so few buyers look at the residual value when getting a lease. They also hype low monthly costs with high up front payments....rather than telling you the real cost of the lease...because so few consider the cost up front and figure out the true monthly cost by dividing the up front "capital cost reduction" by the number of months of the lease and then adding that to the quoted lease rate. There's one listing in this thread where someone is gloating over how low their lease price was because they put $8000 down.....which is rediculous both because they didn't think of the $8000 as part of the lease payments...and because it's just bad financially to put any money down up front. |

Hello everyone: I am new to this site and just leased a C300 luxury, 4matic today without much investigating prior to going into the dealership. The lease is for 27 months with 10,000 miles per year. The list I think is $38,375. Options are pano roof and PI. Payment is $568 including 5% sales tax. $2,000.00 down all inclusive 1st, doc fees, plates small cap cost reduction. I do not have the final price or MF with me to post but hopefully in the morning. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. |

Replying to: ghstudio (Jun 03, 2008 1:07 pm) But the critical item that you left out is the price of the vehicle you would have to pay to buy the vehicle at the end of the 27 months. It should be in the order of $28,800. If it is then I believe that this is a very good deal. Did you get the quote on-line or in person, cause I may want to go this route!

Replying to: bgates222 (May 11, 2008 11:49 am) Does anyone know what the best way to negotiate & calculate a trade-in. I was planning on negotiating the terms of the lease first. Then mention that I have a trade-in. Is it as simple as taking the difference in pay-off to the trade-in amount and adding it to the capitalized cost? ie: hypothetically 40K MSRP negotiated for 37K. Now adding 5K difference on trade-in. New price is 42K. |
