Replying to: shinakuma (Sep 21, 2009 4:00 pm) C300 Deal#1: $555/mo Deal#2: $585/mo C350 Deal#1: $595/mo I'm assuming no cap reduction and just drive off costs of 1st payment, reg, and bank fee which should be close to $2K. I don't know if these are good deals when you are getting close to $600 a month. I had previously leased a 2006 E350 with MSRP of $54,XXX for $587/mo including tax with just drive off of $2500. I guess the C350 might be the better deal if you had to go with dealership that only do the 0.00385 MF. More power for just $10 more a month.

Replying to: Car_man (Sep 21, 2009 1:52 am) My dealer is offering the following on a '10 C300 Sport w/ Automatic and UMI package. 36 Months MSRP=$37,465 Sale Price=$33,719 15K Miles $3,500 Total Down MF= .00208 Monthly=$442.87+tax I'm certain there is room to maneuver with the MF, but I am uncertain as to whether I should be shooting for employee caliber (.00005) or a more reasonable one like you posted above (.00173). |

Replying to: projectvirus (Sep 22, 2009 12:35 pm) Everyone said the special lease rate with MF .00173 is on 10s and on 09s you get the incentive money, so I went for the incentive money, got the selling price then worked the MF after. This is what I found out... There is a off book program that MB gives to the dealership to close high profit deals which is usually reserved for leases they can make money on or they can use for customers they like or whatever. They are given a set number like 5 or 10 depending on size of dealership and what it does is basically give you an employee rate or near it/half way. It's hard to get them but if you work them you can get that rate and on that program, I was told that with that much of a discount on selling price there was no way I can get the special lease but finally found 2 dealerships willing to do it, I'm going with the dealership with lowest price and lowest MF btw your MF is great man but on a 2010 it should be .00173 |

Ok guys, I got the car yesterday and it was a done deal, as quoted. I'll post some of the details here so hopefully it can help you out also... 2009 C300 Options 057 - Ipod Integration 413 - Panorama Roof 768 - 18" AMG Wheels P02 - Premium Package II 320- Multimedia Package 427 - 7 Speed Automatic MSRP of $44,150 the selling price of the vehicle I got was $35,225. Zero Down Since this is a lease, in finance, I opted for their up-sell of Lease Excess Wear and Tear and Tire and Wheel Protection, I had a previous BMW lease and really got hurt by those 2 so went for them. Excess Lease Wear and Tear Plan for 3 years - $1,195 (negotiated down to $599) Road Hazard Tire and Wheel for 3 years - $1195 - (negotiated down to $695) I did not email them initially, I just looked up the internet team on the internet and called in told him I am ready to buy and if their number can match or beat I'll be in. I emailed him the numbers I was given which were from the nearest competing dealership, until I got the selling price to $35k Since it was a 2009, not a 2010 the (.00173) money factor special was not eligible but after going back and forth he eventually got an OK from his desk manager to give me a money factor that was also a special at .00217 which is called a Mercedes Benz Ambassador Program Lease, dealers have these but in limited stock. So I went in the next day and the car already had a sold sign on it with my name. If you can find any 09s in stock now is the time to get them (4k incentive for C300 and 5k incentive for C350) and if the dealer has any ambassador leases that drop your MF, left to use, try to get it. They need to clear these out and will, just have to negotiate hard for them. BTW 2010 has different side turn signals and the biggest difference is on option package 320 (the multimedia package) on 2009s the package includes Logic 7 Surround 12 speakers, it is not included on the 2010s!
