Thanks.
I'm heading to the dealership tomorrow and would love to be armed with accurate info.
Thanks!
Any of you guys in So. Cal? The deal I got was from a local dealer. Not many dealers will offer this deal because they are basically loosing $3k on this deal. The sales even showed me the info.
Two dealers told me this deal is impossible, but I got it!
Residual is 44%.
They are showing a $399 36 month lease on their website but they want over $8k out of pocket to achieve it. That is out of the question.
I have no idea how willing they will be to deal, but I am hoping that since I read CLK's replacement will be in showrooms by the end of May there will be some play in their pricing.
If I learn anything from my dealership visit today I'll post it here.
And btw thanks for posting the residual value (44%)!
Good luck!
They had 3 CLK 350s. Two Iridium Silver w/blk interior and one Black with Black interior. All optioned differently.
I drove the most loaded silver: P1, Navi, Bluetooth, App Package, Ventilated Seats, Keyless-MSRP $58920.
Their offer to me was full MSRP with only the $7500 lease cash off the price and (this was the kicker for me) a money factor of .00058. Residual was 44%.
I was told with a perfectly straight face that the interest rates (and money factors) I see on the internet are the rates to the DEALERSHIP not to the public! LOL. They "mark up the interest rates and resell them."
When I pointed out the lease deal on the MBUSA website for $359 a month shows that the "public" can get that money factor the only response I got was "That is for the base model that we don't sell".
Whatever.
I told them even if I could swallow their inflated interest rate, I would at least expect them to knock something off the MSRP.
Not heartbroken....just would have been a great deal if they honored it!
Best of luck to everyone else out there.

Do you need to paid aquisition cost in the out of pocket? Or is that cost also waived?
Insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks
I am new to posting, but have been lurking of late. Thanks to all of you who have posted some great info.
Just turned in my 2006 SLK 280 on the lease pull-ahead and bought a new CLK350 Cabriolet.
Based on what I read, it sounds like I got a good deal, hopefully...
Black/Black/Black
050 Bluetooth
530 DVD Navigation
P01 Premium package (Harmon Kardon, etc.)
P90 Appearance Package
CLK350 MSRP 62,880 (their price)
Got it for MSRP of 53,541...Took 3 hours to get them to this....did I do ok?? (They said they lost money...this is what I paid for my SLK 30 months ago!)
36 months
.50 residual
0 down - (promo lease rate)
I am new to this blog as well. Am interested in leasing a CLK 350 Cab with basic equipment except blue tooth and satelite radio. I am in South Florida. I have heard that a third party leasing company is willing to do the deal at $630 a month and $1500 out of pocket including first months payment. This seems higher than I thought. Any suggestions on how this ranks? Thank you.
Carman or anyone any help or should I just wait for the lexes or infinity convertible to come out. Currently in a saab 93 convert that goes back next month.
Thanks
Good deal?
I am waiting to hear from my salesman today though in hopes of more incentive/lease cash this month since release of new E quickly approaching. (although I want Cab and the E cab won't be out as quickly he said-I'll take the gamble) Which dealership do you use?
I use Contemporary in Little Silver and have always had a great experience due to a good relationship with my rep unlike the highway stores around here. I'll let you know how I make out if/when I ever pull the trigger....are you enjoying the car? What color combo did you choose?
Options- P2,Nav,Keyless,Trunk opener.
The MSRP is 57595. What would be a fairmarket value for this vehicle.
Also,what is he residual value & money factor for a lease.
Do I need to look for anything in this vehicle?
Thank you
If you opt to finance it instead, you can do so through Mercedes-Benz Financial at 0.9% for 5 years.
