Replying to: martinf (Oct 25, 2006 3:39 pm) 2006 r500 pewter/black 8k miles, mbusa demo premium pack, keyless go, full leather, heated seats, rear side airbags, parktronic sticker $65,540. 27 mos/12k year $1700 due at inception...first payment, bank fee, title/tags $560/month + tax I opted for the one payment which came to $14,100...saved $3300 or $116/month. I had gone there to get a new r500 also pewter/black w/ $61,345 sticker, but wasn't crazy about no parktronic or heated seats, so the i went for the added options and probably paid $25/month more than the ideal math, but I got exactly what I wanted. The terms came out to $17,200 off sticker due to demo, 66% resid b/c mileage at end would be 35k, not the 27k i have in the lease. The mf for monthly pay was .004, and the one pay worked out to .0027, calculating backwards. I almost bought one from CA earlier in the month and have it shipped earlier in the month but, wasn't crazy about the color and $1200 to ship($50/mo on 27 mo lease). So looks like the Northeast pxing is getting aggressive. I was quoted $730/month and ~17,500 for a one pay, with less options, from another local dealer 3 weeks ago. Thanks again, info was invaluable.

Replying to: martinf (Oct 24, 2006 11:14 pm) they told me they will beat the competitor's offer. This is what I got on the 2006 R500 with MSRP of over $62K I think they discounted it to $46500 with $2350 drive off and monthly payments of $680/mo. 12k/yr. 27 mo. The one time pay was $17500 for 24 mo., since they said they can't do one time pay for more than 24 months. They said my credit scores were low. The highest score was a little over 680. They were calculating my lease at tier 3. There was a big gap between what I want to pay and what they are offering me. So they said on Monday they will call MB financing and see what they can do. They asked me what is the maximum I can pay and I told them $450/m. $2000 drive-off, 12k/yr. for 27 mo. or $13000 one time pay. I think I may have over estimated the one time pay. What do you think? Thank you for all the help you have given me by having a very lively forum I have learned a lot.

Replying to: sussan (Oct 30, 2006 8:30 am) sticker price, Tier one credit. Likely they look at middle score, still does not seem that you should be tier 3 |

Replying to: sussan (Oct 25, 2006 2:34 pm) 10/31/2006 is the last day of the month, and they will give you a price or discount factor over the phone. Be aware that they will change their price if your credit is in a different tier than tier 1. Let them know ahead of time over the phone. Since we can't mention names of salesperson in the forum, at Fletcher, ask for their internet sales manager, and he will deal especially it's the end of 10/2006. |

Replying to: martinf (Oct 30, 2006 11:28 pm) and who replied to my postings and guided me thru the process. I called The Internet manager of Simonson in Santa Monica. He told me they don't have any R500 but I should try Long Beach, South Bay, Fletcher, ... I just love the Simonson guy. He has always been incredibly straight, honest and quick in quoting prices. I buy/lease cars every two years. He will have my business next time I am in the market for a car. I called the South bay Internet director at 6pm and he emailed me the description for two R500s one was $63k the second was $62k. I picked the Alpine Rain with MSRP of $62k. He agreed to match the quote that I had from Simonson. By the time we got to South Bay they had added $800 to the drive off. They said the quote of $2999 from Simonson is just the drive-off price. The drive-off price ant total drive-off are not the same. The $2999 was the drive off and $3800 was the total drive off! Also they added $25 to the monthly payments saying they will try to amend the contract the next day to show $389 which they have not. The next day we noticed the car was missing the cargo net, cargo cover, grocery bag holder, and cargo tie downs. The car was not cleaned and had barely enough gas to get us home. I have called them and emailed them and now I am waiting to hear from them. I will keep the forum posted. Overall I love the car and it drives great. I am still figuring out the gadgets.
