    Dear All,

    First, my apologies for posting a CLA lease related question, but I was asked by the moderators to do so as I think they are having problems creating new groups for new models.

    I'm looking for money factors and residuals for a 3 year, 10,000 mile/year lease on a 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA acquired through the European Delivery Program. Also, do you know if some of the money factor reducing options like multiple security deposits, excellent credit and auto-pay would be available for a CLA lease?

    Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    2014 CLA 36mo, 10K/yr lease
    .00162 MF and 67% residual

    I don't have any information on differences with the Euro Delivery program.

    Outside of the euro delivery program, I'd guess that MSD and auto-pay would apply... these rates are for top tier credit.
    (That is a great residual)

    Are the following fees identified in the lease agreement negotiable?

    Bank Fee @ lease inception
    Purchase Option Fee - if car is purchased at lease-end
    Turn-in Fee - car turned in without purchasing or leasing another vehicle from manufacturer

    If these fees are negotiable, I'd be interested in what amounts were agreed to.

    Thanks.

    Would prefer to not post publicly if there is a private message feature on here use that or drop your email address here.

    Honestly your best bet would be to email all dealers that have the car you want because you might be able to get a better deal than the one I had offered.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,175
    All of those items should be on the lease agreement.

    Mercedes base acquisition fee is $795, and dealers are permitted to mark it up by $300 maximum for extra profit. (the mark-up would be negotiable)

    The other two fees would be fixed and non-negotiable..

    Thoughts for this lease on a 2014 C300 sport 4matic:
    Base Price $39,400
    Polar White $0
    Black MB TEX $0
    Premium Pkg $2,500
    Multi-media Pkg $2,860
    Lighting Pkg $1,390
    5 spoke AMG Wheel $1,040
    Panorama Sunroof $420
    Rear deck spoiler $300
    Destination fee $925

    MSRP Total - $48835 Sale Price $45,766 Discount of $5,000 bring down to $40,766 add MA sales tax at 6.25% for total selling price of $43,313.88

    Lease $0 down $500 (including tax) a month, 36 months, residual 56% $24,255.77
  • coby16coby16 Member Posts: 5
    I may be missing something.

    Are you indicating that a 2014 car has been discounted over $8k (Msrp $48,835 less adjusted sales price $40,766) or 16.5%? If so, I need you to negotiate my purchase/lease (I'm located outside NYC). I'm focusing on a "2013 leftover" and I haven't been able to get a quote with a discount % equal to that.

    Also, I recommend that you check the residual amount of $24,256. It should be calculated on the MSRP. Residual % x MRSP: .56 x 48,835 = $27,348.

    What is the money factor for your lease?
  • jvalentijvalenti Member Posts: 4
    Should look in Latham, NY as well as on Truecar.com (a 2014 Mercedes c300 4 matic w/options I have listed, Truecar.com has it at Average Paid $45,117). I'm still waiting to hear from the dealer but this would be our second Lease from them.
  • jvalentijvalenti Member Posts: 4
    I misread your post. Sorry it was a negotiated price of $45,766 and then a discount of $5000. True Car has the 13 priced at Average Paid $43,434. Who are you dealing with?

    Looking at a C350 sedan. I was wondering what the MF and Residual are on a 36 month lease. (Seattle Area)

    Also- my car's lease (MB C300) ends in January, and the dealership is offering to take it in early on a new lease. How does this affect the new lease? Do I miss out on some opportunities that I may have in January? Are there expenses that I should be aware of?

    Thanks-

    These sound really good. Are these valid until the end of October? Any idea what the MF and residual will be in November?

    Thanks! These are extremely helpful.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,175
    Numbers are either good through 10/31 or 11/04 (not sure which on Mercedes)..

    Won't know November numbers until November..

    Looking for the following numbers if they are available:

    2014 C300 4matic Residual value / Money Factor for 15,000 miles, 24 months
    2014 C300 4matic Residual value / Money Factor for 15,000 miles, 36 months

    Local dealer had an ad for 380$/month (includes tax) for a C300 on a 48 month lease, no money down, no cap cost reduction. Am I crazy for thinking that's a really bad idea, but not a bad price? The MSRP was for a pretty basic config, though.

    Thanks!

    Hi kydfx,

    Do you have latest MF and RV for 2014 c250 coupe 24month/10k per year?

    I noticed the MF for C300 has dropped to .00058, so want to confirm whether it happens on C250 coupe also.

    Thanks for your help.
  • storms3storms3 Member Posts: 14
    Hi,

    May I ask how could you make the Panorama roof $420? It is listed as $1090 on mbusa.com. Thought is is not negotiable.

    Thanks in advance.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,175
    It's Mercedes Finance non-discounted money factor.. I don't have the exact number, but it's been reported as .00195-.00225

    That's some smokin deal. Even if you figure the $795 acq. fee & $350 disposition fee into the "true" cost of the lease @ $47.71 per month, it's still cheap.

    That's one thing I don't like about short term leases. Those bank fees & disposition fees add up. A lot of times, the mfr will wave the disp. Fee if you lease another car from them.

    I was wrong on the price of the roof but we just picked up the car on Tuesday and here are the details MSRP $49,555 purchase price $44,103. We leased for 36 months for zero down and $516 a month. If we went to a 24 month lease it would have been $503 a month. Plus we turned in our 2011 four months early! The residual is $30,228 and I probably could have done better there but we will be going back to the dealer in 3 years for another new car. It was an excellent purchasing experience great salesperson and great dealership! I would highly recommend this dealer and be glad to pass along as much information as I can that this site allows.

    Hi kyfdx:
    I have ordered a c250'sport 4 door for delivery in December. Do you know the the MB dealer cash incentive for the holiday event, as well as the lease parameters ( MF, Residuals for 24 or 36 mos on a 12 k mile lease?) Also what is a reasonable discount percentage off the MSRP of the car I should expect from the dealer?

    Thanks,

    chalkie
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,175
