No discount on R-models by alex15

My local dealer told me that there will be no discount on MSRP for the new R-model for the first few months; and the best money factor will be 3.45

Thanks for the information alex15. I agree, Mercedes dealers will likely try to hold onto full grosses on the R-Class for as long as they can. However, according to several dealers who I have spoken with the public's reception of the R-Class has been lukewarm at best. I have a feeling that this model will not sell very well and that in a few months dealers will be discounting them. I would not be surprised if Mercedes will have to introduce lease support on them as well. Again, this is just an educated guess though. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I just saw this lease offer on the mercedes web site. Can I get your opinion.
 
FYI - dont they have to disclose money factor in the fine print. I dont see it.

You're right, 5total. Manufacturers do not usually disclose the money factor that was used to arrive at an advertised lease payment in its fine print. The R-Class advertised lease that you are referring to is a pretty good deal. It is certainly a lot better than the deal that you would have been able to negotiate on this truck several weeks ago. It has been selling so poorly that Mercedes-Benz was forced to introduce a special lease program on it. This program provides a special lease money factor of .00230 and waives the first month's lease payment on any R-Class lease this month. Having said all of this, I would not be surprised if you were able to negotiate a better selling price than the one that this lease is based upon. Most manufacturer advertised lease payments leave a little meat on the bone so to speak. If you are able to negotiate a lower capitalized cost, it would lower this truck's lease payment a little bit.

Thanks. I think I will end up with this car before the end of the year, but I am going to wait as long as possible. The advertized lease only give you 10k miles. I think i would have them up it to 12k or even 15k.
I dont see any reason to be in a hurry at this point.
 
Thanks again

Does anyone know if the current offer on the R class will be extended beyond Nov 30 or if a better one is waiting on the sidelines? (additonal miles, etc)

I would try to work up a lease deal that suits your use of this vehicle with the dealer and see what they can come up with based on pricing discounts. Since they are slow to move and no one seems to know what MB has up it's sleeve next with moving these off the lots, I would speculate the answer to your question is yes(current deal will continue or get better).

Getting a used (1 month old, 1300 miles) R350 at invoice at the same lease deal as being offered through their winter sale. Car has Premium pkg, Heated front seats, second row console and after market parktronic. (Sticker, 56,705, invoice 52,791, lease payment including tax $630, 39 month lease 10k per year)What do you think? Better this or pay the $500 over invoice that most seem to be able to negotiate on a new car? Your comments appreciated

Do you have any good advise on how to calculate a good single pay 39 month lease.
 
Here is what I know
R-Class
61,000
15k miles
39 months
 
I am asking for the money factor now. Other than that what else do I need.
 
I was told that the single pay would basicly covers the amount of the tax I would pay. In other words, I should just offer the dealer the payment "AMOUNT" X 39 months for the car and save the tax amount. Tax in my state is 7.5%
 
For this car the Dealer wants a single pay of 30,500. I think I can do better. Especailly since others have written that they were able to get their cars for 500 over invoice before a 2,000 deal incentive. That would take a car to 1,500 below invoice. The above car would then be around 56k. They seem to be motivated.
 
So many number, So little time. Can I get your thoughts
 
Thanks
