Car_man, I'm wondering why Edmunds invoice price is about $600 lower than what two dealers quoted me? Does their invoice price include some advertizing fee, etc.? Can I negotiate this extra $600 somehow? Anyway, based on Edmunds, got a quote for $2,000 under invoice (and based on dealer's invoice - $2,600 under invoice):
2009 C300 Sport/Auto/P1/iPod/Wood. Black/Black.
39 month/10K miles
MSRP: $38,070
Sale price: $33,500
Residual: 54%
MF: .00075
$399/month incl. sales tax (0 cap cost reduction, $795 acc fee + $399 first month + registration due at signing)
What do you think?

The disposition fee is what MBZ charges. Standard. No way around it unless you can negotiate it away. Maybe if you lease another from them at the end, but do it up front.
 
The acq fee seems quite high. the dealer can jack this up to make extra profit. Call a couple other dealers to talk leases and ask them. If it's a mercedes financial lease they have a floor amount, but dealers can go above that.
 
You need to know what the selling price is of the car. That's called the "capitalized cost" and is a crucial number in a lease calculation.
 
Also, the dealer can increase the "money factor" (what the interest rate is called in a lease) to make extra dough over the term of the lease. Make sure the dealer is using the same money factor that MBZ Financial is giving him.
 
The residual value is set by MBZ for length of lease and mileage and the dealer cannot mess with that.

Hi ursus. I'm not sure why dealers quoted you a higher dealer invoice price than the ones that are listed here. Chances are that the dealers are including some sort of charge or charges in their version of the car's invoice. I wouldn't worry too much about the difference. You know what this car's true invoice price is. Use it to determine approximately how much you want to pay for it right now. Then comparison shop with a few dealers and go with the one that offers you the lowest total selling price. $2,000 under dealer invoice is an excellent selling price for a leased 2009 C300.

The correct invoice price is the one the dealer gets from Mercedes-Benz. It includes the IRG (Regional Adv) charge, which is part of the dealers cost. This charge ranges from $300 to $600 roughly, and will vary depending on geographical area. Edmunds does have a clickable link explaning these charges, but most folks don't bother to check, and it doesn't give you the amount. So you can't rely on Edmunds to give you the true exact invoice price. It will get you close, however.
