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? by jaxs1

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.

Hi
oh, i checked and found out that they will waive or reimburse me maximum $5,000 only for limited physical damage charges defined as following at the time I turn in my vehicle:
What is considered excess wear and use?
Our lease-end process, The First Class Finish provides guidelines used to evaluate the condition of your vehicle. Here are some of the conditions that would be considered excess wear and use:
- Damage to major driveline components (engine, transmission, differential).
- Damage to the vehicle's frame.
- Damage to the interior or exterior that is beyond ordinary wear and use.
- Missing or broken parts and accessories, including optional factory equipment identified in the lease.
- Missing tires, tires of unequal size, tires that have sidewall plugs, cuts or exposed cords.
- Wheels that are broken or cracked.
- Stars, cracks, holes or plugs (regardless of size) in the windshield, or other glass or lenses.
- Failure to maintain the vehicle according to manufacturer's specifications (the maintenance must be documented).
- After market alterations not installed by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer.
- Any condition that makes the vehicle either unlawful or unsafe to drive.

Because parts and acessories of MB are really expensive, so i think this cover is worth to pay.
