    I got in touch with a broker in Northern NJ, and he was able to get me, for a $300 fee, this deal:
    $2900 down, $350 a month, 10k miles per year, on a C300 with 4Matic and Prem1.
    -or-
    Trade in my 10 year old Accord, and get
    $0 down, $375 a month, 10k miles, for the same car, around $40-41k MSRP.

    Now I know he went out of his way to sell my Honda, as it's in such bad exterior condition that many said it was not worth more than $7-900.

    But without the trade in factored in, is this a good deal?

    Tax and title would be another $2000. Oh and I'd owe the guy $300 for his services.

    Thanks!

    i just picked one up

    15k miles, with 3 years of Maintenance included + tire insurance through the life of the lease, P1 + Multimedia + sunroof - $468 / month. without the tire insurance it was 433/month. In addition I gave 2300 + 1st month payment due at signing.

    Hope this helps

    I have a similar deal..for 3 years and 15k miles...

    C300 4WD with P1, Multimedia and Sunroof + maintenance. Total out of pocket was $1500 which included the first payment. My payments are $478 /month which includes taxes. I got mine from Euromotors in MD...

    I had tried several other dealers for the same car and could not get anywhere close to this. The MSRP is $45500...and selling price was $40200

    Can you please provide me with the money factor and the residual for May for a C300 4matic with P1 and Multimedia, 12K miles?

    I just recieved the following quote and would like opinions on it:

    Sell price: $41,780
    Residual: $24,640
    MF: .00123
    Monthly Payment: $599 + tax

    This seems quite high compared to some of the other deals people are getting. Are the MF and residual correct? What selling price should I be aiming for?

    Thanks for the help.

    kayatxkayatx Member Posts: 14
    Thats way too high... your selling price should be about $39200 or so...and with 12k miles, 3 years...with 1500 out of pocket...you should be in the low 400s..

    I got a car in Texas about 5 weeks ago. Mars red! I know the C- class program has gotten much better since then. I went through a web based company Inside Car Buying. They arranged everything and I couldn't get a better deal at the time. I shopped everywhere. May sure you get the maintenance, its worth it. Paying $346 per month.

    Bmwormerc, I was curious about the basic maintenance plan that you purchased. Does this include tire rotations? Also, do you know what the price for the 36 months or -- I think you meant or 36 months or 36,000 miles, right?? Thanks.

    Hi Car-Man and other potential MBZ buyer

    received a quote on c300w with nag option

    Cash Due $3000
    Monthly Payment $359 including tax

    I am not at all interested in this car but I just want to say that this is a great deal. I always follow the new car market for fun and I think this is the best deal MB had in awhile(correct me if I am wrong).

    Also I been reading about some of you guys purchasing maintenance plans...WTF? I always thought BMW and MB dealers usually throw in basic oil changes, tire rotation, etc for free, for the original owner. There is nothing else you need to do, well maybe change air filters, etc. Which is stuff you can do easily at home or pay the dealer a few bones. Just my .02

    Anyone that I know who is in the market for a new luxury car right now I am going to tell them about this deal.

    Hi, I just started negotiating a lease today on a C300 Sports, basic, maintenance package, no other extras. Total selling price is $36,000., due at signing (includes 1st month) is $5,400, $445. / 15K miles / 36 months. Having read other posts, I think I can do better given the high down payment, right?

    They are offering at this dealership to pay up to 5 months of any lease payments due on your current vehicle -- I owe about $2,500. total. So I think they may be adding it into the deal to recover the money. Also, they claim to need a higher down pmt. because my credit is not stellar (600 beacon score).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time negotiating a Benz.

    Hi ckung. I'm not Kyfdx, but I do know the answer to your question. Mercedes-Benz Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 C300 Luxury 2WD with 12,000 miles per year are .00057 and 55%, respectively.

    Hi ckung. the car that you described probably has a spread of around $2,600 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. You were quoted a discount of over $5,000. That's huge. I wonder if you are being required to make some sort of capitalized cost reduction to arrive at that price. Anything over a $2,000 discount with no cap cost reduction is an attractive deal on this car.

    The money factor that you were quoted is slightly high. Mercedes-Benz Financial's current buy rate is .00057 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. Try to get the dealer to use that factor to calculate your car's payment.

    Hi mrtrance. The C-Class' lease program varies by trim level. For now I will assume that you are interested in a Luxury 2WD model. Let me know if you want something different.

    Mercedes-Benz Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 C300 Luxury 2WD with 10,000 miles per year are .00057 and 58%, respectively.

    it is sort of stiff in Seattle. C350 MSRP 48375, asked 43k (looking at $5000 discount mentioned in Car_man's post), but dealer only willing to sell 44773. So just $300 below KBB invoice. Reason is because there are "hidden" fees, and the car needs to be transported from out of state. Not sure if we can call this a good deal, do you guys think this deal is workable?

    Lease MF 0.00172 with 57% Residual

    I know in bay area at least people can get 1500 off invoice... Advise needed!!

    Is your old vehicle a Mercedes lease too? If so a Mercedes dealer can waive upto $3000 worth of damages...
