If you really like the car and if you leased through MBUSA ask them for a quote to extend the lease for a year as you should still be under warranty. They may offer a monthly rate much lower then you have now and no fees to do it.
 
I've done this on a few of my MB leases and it was painless

Need advice on how to lease a Mercedes Benz C300. by djruss

Hi I'm Russell,
 I am from Los Angeles, CA. I am a first time car buyer. I have a credit score of 680. Looking to lease a 2009 C300 Sports Sedan. I am interested in leasing it with the multi media package.
 
(I got these numbers from the MBZ website.)
Base MSRP....... $33,775
Multi-Media Package...$2,980
Total.........$36,755
 
I want to lease for 24 months, 12k miles per year.
I have a down payment of $2000.
Monthly for the car is $778.
(These are all numbers from the MBZ website)
 
I am willing to pay $450-$500 a month.
 
Any tips and advice on how to bring my monthly down?

First step is to negotiate a good selling price. You should be able to easily get under invoice these days. I am negotiating for c300 sport 4matic right now, and I got quotes $2000 below invoice from three different dealers in DC Metro area. So I think it is very much possible.
 
Then the rest, residual value and money factor are hard to change with MB finance. I hear that dealers sometimes increase the residual value but I wouldn't count on it. Money Factor varies with your credit too.
 
If you take a 39 month lease, your payment could be under $400. I am not so sure about keeping it under $500 for a 24 month lease.
 
Good luck!

In Bay Area: Quote received on C300, your thoughts? by wildting

Excuse me for posting in this forum and the "prices paid" forum in advanced...
 
I like the guy that I work with at MB in the Bay Area but I just discovered this wonderful message board so it doesn't hurt to receive feedback...
 
I'm looking at the following:
Description ................................ INVOICE / MSRP
C300 Sport White on Black.......... $29,853 / $32,100
Option 320: Multimedia................ $2,771 / $2,980
7-Speed Automatic Transmission.. $1,358 / $1,460
Burl Walnut Wood (uugh).............. $288 / $310
iPod Integration .......................... $349 / $375
SUBTOTAL ................................ $34,619 / $37,225
Transportation and Handling ......... $875 / $875
IRG Participation ......................... $500 / -- (this is some new weird fee)
TOTALS ..................................... $35,994 / $38,100
 
My price on the car would be $34,500 (about $1500 under invoice). The terms of the lease are as follows.
39 months
10K miles / year
Money Factor = .0025 (or 6%)
Residual = 57%
 
Out the door = 1st payment, reg/licensing and tax or $920.
Monthly = $499 + CA tax (or a total of $540/month)
 
Any thoughts? He let me know that his buy rate on the Money Factor is .002... so do I work him for the extra .0005?
 
Thanks!

Odd - when I use your numbers:
MSRP $38,100
Cap Cost $34,500
39 Months
57% residual
0.0025 MF
I come up with a monthly payment of $468.31 + TTL
 
If you change the MF to 0.002, the payment drops to $440.20 so that "extra 0.0005" is costing you almost $1100 + TTL over the course of the lease.
 
Note also that MB charges you an acquisition fee of $795 and a $595 vehicle turn-in fee. Almost $1400 just to sign a lease.

My 39 month lease shows depreciation and amortization of $13,666, Rent Charge of $8,911, adjusted capitalized cost $34,561, residual value of $20,896, acquisition fee $1,095. How do I determine the money factor, residual %,etc.?
 
Also, shat strategy can I use to get a good deal at the end of the lease? Thanks.
