Hi mbnyc. Mercedes-Benz is currently providing a whopping $12,000 dealer cash on leftover 2009 E350 Wagons. Add to that the spread of at least $4,000 between this vehicle's full MSRP and its dealer invoice price and you have a total of approximately $16,000 to play with during your negotiations.
 
The $13,000 discount that you were quoted is probably equivalent to around $3,000 over dealer invoice. If I was in the market for this car, I personally would want another Grand or two knocked off of its selling price. Having said that, your early lease termination complicates things. If you can get out of your current lease a year early and get this car for three grand over invoice then you're probably getting a decent deal.

Car Man can tell you the official answer.
 
On my end, I think this is very competitive, at least from the rates that I am seeing. Most are around $750-$800 when you do no cap cost reduction. Inception fee sounds about $800 too high since dealer acquisition fees are around $800, tax and title around $450 and first month at $750 that you are quoted. Do you know what accounts for the extra $800.
 
Do you know the MSRP and selling price? What was the MF they used?
 
Good luck! CarMan, what do you think? Do others have any similar offers to share?

#946 of 2975 What to Do With New Lease? by frogger97

Sep 29, 2009 (12:52 pm)

Dear Car Man;
 
I have ordered an E350 4matic, P1 through a local dealer after negotiating a selling price of around 53K
No Lease rates were quoted because they said that these will change by the time car gets here around mid-October 2010 which seemed logical.
 
I am confused as to whether I should wait and start the lease in November 2010 or just start in mid October. The dealer wants me to start as soon as the car gets here as he feels the payments may go up??
 
Can you please help guide me here? What do I need to watch out for here?
 
Thanks

bknyc -- there are lots of lease companies that are listing on swapalease from nyc. The payments are awsome on some models. vip leasing etc --- do you know anything about whether they are legitimate and if the listings are real or bait and switch.

I know VIP leasing and it's absolutely legitimate company. The other story is the deal you get from them. It all depends on a market conditions. Those companies use fleet discount to make purchase price less and that is why you get better lease. Many times even authorized MB dealer can't match those deals. I used Grand Prix leasing and they gave me better deal than MB dealer. The payment they advertise on swapalease is so low because it's usually 7,500 miles a year. And Yes - it's usually no money down - only first payment, bank fee and legal MTV fees.

Thanks aeggroup--The deals change with the market for instance -- I was looking for a lease on a Q-7 quattro premium for a friend and the guy said he had one for $525 36 months 10k miles last winter. Nothing like that now. When my current lease is 2 months from the end will check on what is the best deal and perhaps drive to nyc get the car turn in my murano and take a vacation. Saw deals from grand prix and m&l as well. Will check them out for sure.

How would I know what the rates and residuals are? What would be the current payments for this car with a sale price of 53K
 
Any help would be appreciated!

Congratulations on getting your new E, heartofasia. I would be happy to give you my opinion of this deal, but it would be much easier for me to do so if you were to provide us with this car's MSRP and selling price first. You should be able to find both of those numbers on your contract.
