Replying to: arturob (Mar 12, 2009 6:50 am) Hi, not sure if I am too late to weigh in, but I think your deal could be lower. A payment of $599 a month on top of a cap cost reduction of $2000 is not good at all. I know you said that you are putting $3500 down, but about $2000 of that money is just a cap cost reduction and the rest is the registration, bank fee, etc. You are really paying $650 for that car. We are in a recession. You need to be much lower. Are you paying the tax up front? Don't do that either when it can just be in your monthly payment. That way, you can hold onto your money longer. Really, this car should be $1500 out of pocket and in the high 4s or low 5s. The price of the car you want is like the car I got just optioned differently. Forget the residuals and money factor. It is not your job to make sure the dealership makes a good profit on you. Good luck to you. Replies to this message: arturob (Mar 25, 2009 4:24 pm) mbcos (Mar 26, 2009 10:45 am)
#440 of 601 Chewing on it by cneff Mar 25, 2009 (6:52 am)
well here is where I am with my options - I currently have a CLK which I love but this past winter gave me some 2nd thoughts....anyway MB will buy out the rest of my lease - 5 left at $521 (pretty good anyway for a loaded CLK 350 - 06).   New 09 CLK would be higher with money down - at least that is the deal I'm being offered - now   For a C class C300 4matic sport black with black MBtex - P1, Multimedia 12k miles, 39 months, $1,500 to drive off (includes 1st month payment, reg, etc) - we are hovering around $480/mon with tax. Maybe will get pan roof tossed in...they are sweating so it is possible.   North Jersey location   Again love the CLK and I do think it is a step back to a C class but more practical transportation is calling.

Replying to: mbcos (Mar 25, 2009 6:36 am) thanks, mbcos! I will continue to negotiate more and let you know the results. So I guess I should only focus on the monthly payment - based on the car I want - and inception fees and forget about residual and money factor?   thanks!

Replying to: cneff (Mar 25, 2009 6:52 am) cneff, that sounds like a nice deal. Good luck with the car if you go for it.

Replying to: arturob (Mar 25, 2009 4:24 pm) arturob, yes, forget about these residuals and money factors and blah blah blah at this point. Look at the recent posts from people in this forum. The car is only worth what it will sell/lease for. The last few deals have been really good, even better than the one I got last month. Work off the deals that people got in this forum and compare it to the offer you got from the MB dealership you went to and you can see the large difference. Just go to a different dealer if the one you are at won't work with you because C300s/C350s do not lease for $600 a month, especially with a cap cost reduction. Be firm and don't give in at the car dealership no matter what they tell you. Go to a car dealership and tell them what you want to pay and how much you will pay for it. Good luck.

#446 of 601 San Diego Dealers? by boltsfan Mar 26, 2009 (2:28 pm)
jeff9241 - I want the same deal as you got. Nice job!   Any good dealers in San Diego anyone has leased a C300 from recently? I got my current C230 from MB Escondido. Currently have 6 payments left on current lease and want to turn in early. Big "Spring Event" email sent out today from the MB dealership. CA sales tax is going up 1% on April 1st.
#447 of 601 Is this a good deal by sdhlaw1701 Mar 26, 2009 (8:01 pm)
I need the experts help. I just got the following offer and I would like to know if this is a good deal or should I press for better. The car is a 2009 C350 Sport, Silver w/ Black interior and includes the 18" AMG wheels and the Ipod integration Kit. The offer is a lease for 39 months/ 15K miles per year. Here is the break down of the offer:   Vehicle Price: $40,970 Appearance Protection: $499 Door Edge Cup Guard: $295 Preferred Customer Discount: $4,377 Selling Price $37,387   Sales Tax: $2,324.71 Tag/Registration Fees:335.00 Tire/Battery/MVWEA: $8.50 Documentation Fee: $599 Balance Due: $40,655.16   Cash Due: $1,567   Total Monthly Payment: $564 tax included   So what does everybody think? Is this a good deal? It does appear to be below invoice but, the way the numbers are presented it could be misleading and I end up giving the dealer a lot of profit. Advice? Opinions?   Thanks for all the input. Replies to this message: dbmedia (Mar 26, 2009 9:28 pm)

Replying to: sdhlaw1701 (Mar 26, 2009 8:01 pm) I noticed in a previous thread you're located in S Florida. I've just started looking into the C350 or 300. What dealerships have you been talking to? I'm curious to see what you come up with or if you have any other input from your process. In other threads I've read, people claim to be leasing C350s valued at well over 40K for less than 500/month with 0 down. Not sure how that works out or if location has anything to do with it but apparently that's the case.   Thanks
