My total cost for a E350 4matic with P1 and ipod with 7.5K miles a year is $12.9K for 24 months, which includes $2.5K upfront (all fees, first payment, etc.) and 23 months at $450. I also have the $500 missing doc fee which the dealer was upfront about and just said don't ever remove from the car and you will be fine.

The world's largest Mercedes dealer is Fletcher Jones, in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa. Ask for Mike McMullen. They sell/lease as many cars/month as most dealerships do in a year. Huge selection.

This is not a advertisement. The best deals in the northeast are to be had Prestige Motors in Paramus, NJ. The gentlemen you want to speak to is Keith DeYoung. I leased a 2008 E Class and a good friend of mine leased a 2008 S Class. Keith beat everybody's numbers. The E Class was a 24 monh lease, 12,000 miles per year, 1720 total at signing, 4 matic, parktonic, P2, Panaramic roof, MSRP $59,625 632.00 permonth which included PA lease and sales tax. My friend leased a $96,000 S Class 39 months, 12,000 miles per year, 2650.00 total due at signing 1580.00 per month which included PA sales and lease tax. Very simple and quick. they also have a huge selection to pick from.

I'm familiar with Prestige, or at least I think I spoke with them a while ago.
What about service? Can you have service done at any Mercedes dealer? Suppose it involves warranty repairs? I can't be stuck going to Paramus when I live on Long Island. Simply not worth it no matter how good the deal is.
Thanks.

Service Question. I live in Pennsylvania and have my service and warranty work done at a local dealer. Any Benz Dealership is ok. Question? Do you think a Mercedes Dealership would turn you down for service when they are making money on you? There, your problem is solved. Go to Prestige and tell them that Mark & Tina from Pennsylvania sent you.

It would be outrageous for a factory warranty to be good at only one dealer. They area not fixing your car "for free," they are being paid by Mercedes.
What if the car broke down on a vacation road trip? Suppose you bought a Mercedes and moved across the country the next year? You would have no warranty if that was true.
You will likely lose "perks" like free car washes and loaner cars that the dealer you purchased from might have offered to their customers.

MArky22,
I spoke with dealerships in so cal but they said PRestige is a broker and dealerships cannot and will not match their deals.

That doesn't even make sense. A broker would have to buy from another dealer first, add a markup, then resell/lease. It seems unlikely that a dealer cannot just sell to the customer directly for the same or less than going through the broker.

Wear and Tear Insurance?

How exactly do they make money if you are free to cause up to $40,000 worth of wear and tear damage for an $800 premium?
If you buy the insurance, you are going to spend $800 on wear and tear whether there is anything that qualifies as excess wear or not.
