I am now thinking of looking into leasing the C300 Sport, but am afraid that it will be much more expensive. Anyone know of good leases in So Cal on the C300 Sport? I really want to keep my payment under $400. However, with this economy maybe this is the time to think about getting an Accord or something a little more economical.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
I hope this helps...
Also, they won't say squat about the 2009s, I presume they want to get rid of all the 2008s. However, I would at least like to know what I'd be missing if I pulled the trigger on an 08 this month or next month.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. :confuse:
I posted it a few days ago, but here it is again...
27M -- Residual 65% -- .00250
27M -- Residual 65% -- .00240 (4-matic)
Add 2% for 12k/mi & 3% for 10k/mi.
The residuals are strong, but the money factors are higher than what they used to be, and thus why you're seeing higher payments on these vehicles.
Your salesman can pull up the 2009 specs and order information any time....and all the information on changes is at the dealer.
There is a special lease on the C's this month for 27 months with a lower MF.
If you are considering leasing a C350, I'd encourage you to look at an Infiniti M35 which has a much better lease and will likely save you money on a significantly more expensive car on their 24 month lease. (it also runs on regular gas)
There are a few changes in the 2009's but nothing mechanical...memory seats, wood grain dash, cashmere interior on more models. On a lease, go for the deal...on a purchase, maybe you want to wait to avoid one year's depreciation in one month.
Last week, I was quoted 585 plus tax with no money down on 27mo lese for the same with metalic paint and ipod but without p2.
Any thoughts?
Not only was I surprised at the monthly payment on the lease, I was even more surprised they gave me so much for my Audi A6 trade.
I don't want to harass the dealership in the fear that I may sound desperate. I can wait for the best deal which I'm guessing will be in late July right before the 09s come out.
If you would not mind I have a couple of questions; does your $485 payment include sales tax? Did the dealer not charge you a "bank fee" and "Doc Fee".
Could you share the MSRP and the cap cost of your car...
Thanks and hope you are enjoying your new car!
In this day and age, I find that dealers that are unwilling to talk pricing over the phone or Internet lose a lot of business - but hey, it's ceratinly their right to conduct biz the way they want, right? These traditional type dealerships hate the dealerships that do quote because they feel like they undercut the competition and devalue the brand.
Some don't like to give quotes because they know that people will shop them against other dealers, which is what savy customers should do. This is why when a dealer does actually give out a quote via the net, he may post a side note that says something like... if you find a better deal, at least give him a chance to beat it.
Hope something works out for you.

I picked up the car from Penske MB, here in So. Cal. Others who gave similar lease deals (and hence I would recommend) are W.I Simonson MB (their Internet Director is very professional, courteous and prompt), Beverly Hills MB and Downtown LA MB.

Looking at leasing a car very similiar in CA. Was wondering how much of the drive-off cost was considered docs & fees vs. cap reduction?
Thanks and congrats!

I feel like an '08 could still be had under invoice, no?

Seems like a pretty aggressive deal but I didnt go there to buy today as I'm not sure if the C300 is my final choice, just wanted to know how much it would lease for to compare it to my other options. Just thought I'd post this up here for an FYI and also to see what the opinions are of this particular deal.
This was at Keyes on Van Nuys, Los Angeles area, through their internet/fleet manager. They had over 40 C class in stock, I guess they just got a shipment a couple of weeks ago.
The best I ot on the same car as your's was 490.00 + everything up front.
May have to drive out there and jump on it.

27 mo lease, $4K down - $499/mo
I am looking to lease a 09 C300 base model .. only addition is automatic trans. The sticker is around 33k. I am negotiation a selling price of 29895 for a 24mo lease w/ 12k mi/yr. Because I am upside down in my trade-in I will be putting down $750 cap cost reduction (1250 going to pay off my trade ). Trying to get a payment around 450/mo after tax (6.5%).
The dealer said he was close .... was wondering if this seems do-able or is the dealer just trying to get me to come back. Additionally was wondering if the 24mo lease is in fact the best deal.
Thanks!!
Am a total newbie here and trying to absorb all the lease jargon.
Had a quick question - the residual value seems to be a hot topic but if I dont intend to buy the car after the lease period ends, do I even need to worry about it? does it have any other implication?
Apologise if I'm repeating this question. Appreciate any responses. thanks!

I received the following offer from a local dealer. I have not yet obtained the actual selling price, MF or residual, but these are the hard numbers.
C300 Sport, Automatic, MSRP 34900
36 month lease, 12K miles
$650 total down (includes 1st month payment, fees, taxes, etc..)
$459 a month (includes taxes, which are quite high here)
Is this a "good" deal?
Thanks!

I was wondering if all you experts can help and share your thoughts on this for me...would really appreciate it.
I have a Benz 2005 c230 kompressor on a 3 yr lease with Ray Catena, NJ which expires on Nov 2008.
My buy out option price reads 21.5k including taxes, my Benz has only 25,000 miles used on it and is very well taken care off...what are your suggestions - should I buy my Benz out.. interest rate on the buy out option is pretty high at 7.1 apr????? Also do you think I can negotiate the price and the interest rate? With the economy so bad and the state of the auto industry, I was thinking I should be getting better deal than this. What are your thoughts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
