#84 of 599 3 months left on lease-buyout by njb325 Sep 04, 2006 (6:15 pm)
I have 3 months left on my '04 C230W, it was only allowed 48,500 miles and has 61,600 - residual value is $19,878 and have paid $21,982.35 - I want to buy it but with the additional miles can't I negotiate with MB financing to lower the residual. The car is in excellent shape and has no dents/dings, runs like a clock and looks great too! I need some guidance on how to try to get this car for less than the residual, do I have any bargaining like other cars? If I buy for the residual, the car ends up being more than the sticker price, how does that work? The balance would be $11,807.65 to make up the price of $33,790 leased in Sept.'03......Help, have never wanted to keep a leased car before, this will be the first to keep of many leased vehicles.............JB Replies to this message: billmv (Oct 03, 2006 9:12 pm) brentkhack (Oct 26, 2006 4:48 pm)

Replying to: dtawil (Aug 14, 2006 7:12 am) That sounds like an excellent deal on your C280, where did you get it (dealership and salesperson)?   Looking to lease myself.   Rob Replies to this message: Car_man (Sep 21, 2006 5:19 pm)

Replying to: njb325 (Sep 04, 2006 6:15 pm) Make them an offer. MBs are soft now. They do not want it back, especially with the extra mileage. If you return it, you'll owe them X per mile over the allowed. Check your contract. Do that math. say 16,000 extra at $.25 per mile means you owe them $4,000 if you turn it back in. Not good!   Forget the original sticker. That has no bearing on things now. You paid for depreciation plus interest. Your contract says you can buy it for the residual. You want it for less. they do NOT want your car with 16,000 extra miles at the end of your lease.   Put an ad in your local paper with 62,000 miles and see what your best offer is. That's what it's worth. It will be lots less than $19,878. If they take it back they'll just send it to the Manheim auction and get $14,000 for it (est), so tell them you want to buy it for $14,000.   If you have a big auction in your area, go by and ask them to appraise your car. If they say it'll sell for $14,00, then MB will get 90% of that value. Replies to this message: brentkhack (Oct 26, 2006 4:48 pm)

#90 of 599 Mercedes C230 lease by kate_arien Oct 31, 2006 (1:26 pm)
Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 3:54 pm) Your prompt advise will be greatly appreciated because I am planning to finalize a lease tonight. Please give me a good estimate of what my monthly payment should be given the following:   2007 C230 with sunroof package 27 months 12000 mi Top tier credit (MB Financial already run it) 2005 PT cruiser trade in value is $8k (Negative equity is $4k since I have a payoff amount of $12k) Willing to pay a downpayment of $2k to cover a portion of the negative equity on the PT Cruiser   Q1: What is my risk if I have a trade and has a $4k upside down and giving $2k as down? Q2: I was quoted .00307 and 71% res value? Are those right? Q3: What better deal is out there for me? Q4: Any good lease specials coming up this November that you might know about?   Thank you very much in advance for your input.   Thanks very much.

Replying to: dominique1 (Jul 09, 2006 7:47 am) The best experience ever!   Leased my car last 11/1/06 from SoCal WI Simonson (www.mbsantamonica.com). Internet Sales people were very straightforward and quick. Gave me real numbers to work on. Haggled a bit but all those time, I never had to deal with BS which I got from the other dealers I spoke with --- both floor and internet. Plus, they gave me the highest trade in value for my 2005 PT Cruiser Touring – same with what Carmax gave me --- and I think, that rarely happens. And I was in and out of the dealership to pick up my car in a snap!   So here are the LEASE specs for your reference:   2007 C230 Sport V6 A/T SP/cap cost: $2100 below carsdirect invoice Trade in value for PT Cruiser: $8500 $1500 net upside down on the PT Paid DMV fees, sales tax and first month upon lease signing (drive off $800) Acquisition fees were added to capitalized cost 27 mos. 12,000 mi/yr MF based on Tier 1 credit Monthly payment: $484   Hope this helps.
#92 of 599 Re: Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Lease Questions [casla] by mrum Nov 20, 2006 (2:14 pm)
Replying to: casla (Jul 24, 2006 10:18 pm) I am in Southern California and thinking of leasing a C230 Sport that does not have a sunroof or CD Changer. I believe the sticker price was close to $31,000 and sale price is about $28,000. I would put down $1,400 with a payment of $377 with tax and 12,000 miles a year. The residual is 70%. The lease is 27 months. What do you think of this deal?   Also, my friend said she paid $800 to get her brakes done on her c230. Do you have any idea how much I can expect to pay on maintenance? Do you think I can use 89 gasoline instead of 91 at times?
