I had tier 1 credit, but even if some people have tier 2, I bet they will still be right around the $500 mark a month. Maybe even less if they want less than 15,000 miles a year. Good luck.

Do any current owners happen to know if the audio can completely be shut off? I don't know how to turn the radio/cd off. I push the big on button in the middle everything powers down and the navigation folds away. How do I just shut off the radio and leave the navigation on? Is muting it the only way? I had a CD playing and then I just muted it to shut it off when I didn't want to hear it anymore because I don't know how to shut off the audio. When I went back to the CD, it was 2 tracks a head because it in fact was only muted. Same goes for the radio. I don't think it ever shuts off. If anyone knows, please let me know. |

Live in Southern CA. I have been told that MB is offering to let you turn in your lease 5 months early for clients in good standing to move into a new MB. I currently have a 2006 C230 that expires in Sept 2009. My current payment is $471 per month for 39 months (15k miles per year). I put zero down. Here is the deal I was offered: 2009 C300 Options - P1, iPod, 18" AMG wheels, wood trim Res - 53% MF- .00195 MSRP - $39,490 Cap - $36,950 Adj Cap - $39,100 ZERO cash down 15k miles per year $562.97 plus tax This is same dealership I leased my C230 from. I know this is not a good deal at all and am working on lowering the Cap and \or MF with the same sales guy I used 3 years ago (he is actually very nice) but they are not budging at the moment. I assume the "Adj Cap" the dealer quoted is rolling drive offs back in to the deal so I do not have to put anything down. Any thoughts and\or opinions? Thanks! |

Replying to: boltsfan (Feb 25, 2009 12:12 pm) IE: Send e-mails detailing the car you want including color and equipment. Tell them you want to put out only minimal inception fees or nothing at all, whichever you prefer. Then tell them that you would like to lease this car for 39 months (best program wright now) with 15K a year for $xxx including CA sales tax. If I were you, I would start by saying $480 a month. Give them your phone number and e-mail when you contact them. That is exactly how I got the best deal. Or, you can just call the dealerships yourself and ask for any salesman and tell them the exact same thing. Don't get impatient. Someone will give you a great deal in these hard economic times.

Replying to: mbcos (Feb 26, 2009 7:46 am) I was trying to be cool by going back to same salesman but guess I need to start sending emails out to other dealerships. I only deal by email until a price and monthly payment are in writing (will rarely give out my phone #). This is how I got my last MB and '08 Yukon. I actually had to print emails at the dealership when we leased our Yukon to prove things in writing (switching 20" wheels over, etc...) I realize you were concentrating on the bottom line (like I usually do) but did you actually get quoted a residual and MF? Is the 5 month turn in early deal legit? With those options what should I be looking at for a Cap Cost? The old way to lease was to negotiate the price of the car then deal with monthly payment. I think it has turned the other way around.
