| Without the MVP pricing (aka employee discount), what is the best that one can do for the E350 lease with 10,000 miles per year and 27 months? Assuming money factor is 0.00085, how low is dealer willing to go on the selling price? | |

I've been leasing car for the past 18 years. I'm coming to the end of my BMW lease and decided to give MB a shot. They were running a very aggressive lease on the 08 E350. I called a few dealers to get pricing. I worked out a good deal with a dealer who is about 15 miles away from my house and he had the car that I wanted in stock. For the sake of convenience I stopped by a dealer who is 2 miles from my house and told him the deal I was receiving. He said that he would match the deal and assured me that he can get me the same car without a problem. He wrote up the deal and took a deposit. He strung me along for a week and then told me he couldn't get the car and all the 08 stock was gone. The lease program ended on 7/31 and I have no car. Do I have any recourse? Thanks, John |

Replying to: bagelguy (Aug 03, 2008 7:20 pm) You have a written deal that they cannot fulfill without taking a loss. They are trying to get out of it by telling you they can't honor it. Push as hard as it takes. They can arrange for a vehicle by swapping with other dealers and/or doing other kinds of tricks. Threaten to pull them before small courts or BBB or anything and everything you can do. On the other hand, getting into a bad relationship with your dealer also means headache later on during regular service intervals etc.... even then, considering this is a lease, I'd say, go with all guns blazing, you have a written contract in hand. ksso |

Replying to: fusilli (Aug 05, 2008 7:49 am) Isn't this whole situation horrible? Buying a new car should be a pleasant experience. Behavior like this is what gives car salesmen a bad name.

Replying to: crestonave (Aug 05, 2008 9:48 am) I called MB Corporate and they are looking into the matter although they told me that it's really a dealer issue. I agree that it is a dealer issue but if MB allows it's dealers to operate this way doesn't it tarnish the brand? I'll keep you updated. Thanks again! John
