2013 and earlier-Mercedes Benz GLK-Class Lease Questions

wrxdonkey

Like magic, Option B is now reduced to $480/mo. all I had to do was explain that the Acura RDX is looking mighty tempting at a significantly lower cost. Still am likely to go with the RDX as they haven't pulled any sales games like this.

Yes, I can imagine such a knob on an Apple product - remember the first iPods? It wasn't that bad, now, was it? To tell you the truth, I find the COMAND menu system and the knob functionality so easy to use, I can not believe there are still people out there who would look for COMAND-less Mercedes because of it? :confuse:

Hi! I'm in the market looking for a '12 GLK 4Matic with Premium Package 1 and heated seats (maybe tech package). I have some questions:
1) I was just quoted MSRP $43,426 and selling price $36,912. Can i do better?
2) If I decide on doing the European Delivery, do you think I can knock off an extra 7%?
3) I know there was a discount for the Comand option. Is this available on the GLK's?

Thanks a lot in advance!

sk7533

That sounds like a pretty good deal. May I ask if that price includes some kind of discount (like fleet or conquest program?). Also can you post which dealer you got this offer. If you signup for autopay, you get even more discount.

enano74

The deal includes the $1,000 conquest cash (I have a BMW now). The dealer is MB of Arlington in VA
Yep, autopay and 10 MSD should make it even better.....now I also saw that 2011 E350 Bluetec has an excellent residual for a 24 months lease.....I don't know which one to pick !!!!

storm10

You can not combine Multiple Security Deposits with Special money factor...
By the way conquest is $2,000 now in October.

gavin2000

hi -- any idea what the money factor and residuals are for October?

Mercedes site has a special 30 month lease on the 4matic.

Wondering MF and residual for 10k and 7.5k miles/year leases

thanks

merceme

Can you tell me what your final deal was? If you went with the GLK350 what were the specifics of the lease at $480 per month? Thanks

merceme

Hi all,

Im interested in leasing a 2012 GLK350 4Matic with heated seats and premium 1 package, special paint also. MSRP is $ 43445. Mercedes has a special $ 419/month lease based on a $ 41065 cap cost. Then they require $ 3389 at signing--first month, $ 795 acquisition, and cap cost reduction of $ 2175. I can get the $ 43445 down to $ 39000 but when I do the math, mf and the rest, my totals are coming to over $ 500/month. Do I take their deal and just work on the money due at signing--i.e. try to eliminate the $ 2175 ? Thanks for any help, looking to pull the trigger soon.

billmv

No. Don't take their deal. Negotiate everything first.

It's easy to make the payment go down by increasing the amount of "down payment" you put up. Simple math. You want zero "down payment." DMV etc. up front is to be expected. You can either pay the acquisition fee up front in cash or roll it into the lease. Your choice.

Post the basics of your lease here so we can help you analyze it. We need these five things:

MSRP - 43,445
Selling price. shall we use $39,000?
Months? Beyond 36-39 the math goes south quickly.
quoted MF?
Residual value?

With this info we can get you the pre-tax payment. And also tell where they are making money from the deal. THEN you back armed with all the knowledge you need.

merceme

The MF quoted when i went to the dealership was. 00177 and the residual on a 30 month lease was 66%, 60% on a 36 month, either with 12000 miles. This is what i came up with:

Assume 38000 as my discounted cost

38000-(43445 x. 66) divided by 30 months
38000-28673.70 " "
9326.3 " "
$310.88 monthly finance payment

(38000+28673.7) x. 00177 = $118.01

Thus $310.88+$118.01 = $ 428.89 my monthly cost / no money down
Am i correct? Thanks for the help!

Hi gavin2000. Mercedes-Benz Financial's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 30-month lease of a 2012 GLK350 4Matic with 10,000 miles per year are .00177 and 67%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.

The residual value for a lease with only 7,500 miles per year would be 1% higher.

Hi CarMan,

I'm looking to lease a 2011 or 2012 GLK 4matic, for 30 months, 12-15k per year. Would you happen to have the current residuals/mfs for both MY's? I know leasing an '11 may not be favorable now, but i figured I would ask for your opinion.

Thank you!

Hi wineaddict. The money factor that you were quoted looks great. It's right in line with Mercedes' buy rate for this truck. It's great that you know that the selling price is. This is a very important number to know. I just need something to compare it to. Do you know this truck's MSRP or invoice price? Let me know and I'll tell you what I think.

Mercedes is forgiving up to 8 lease payments on current GLK leases -- our 2010 wasn't due til April, but turned it in over the weekend and did deal on new 2012 AWD GLK

MSRP 48769 -- paint, lighting, P1, Multimedia launch w/camera, prepaid maintenance

cap 43769

lease is 7500 miles 30 months

residual .66, MFactor .00134 with autopay

monthly is 485.44 plus Mass sales tax 6.25 = $515.78

zero down, just DMV, first month, and bank fee upfront.. May roll bank fee, havent decided.

Looks like a good deal, Chambers, Boston area, anyone want to know more just post or email me.

Comments welcome

Thanks

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had the MF and residual for November on a 2012 GLK 4-Matic AWD for a 36 month lease at 12,000 and 15,000 miles?

Thanks,

Stephen

Thanks carman,

I went to the dealership today and they offered 43,080 --> 37,000 on a GLK w/4matic, P1, Heated Seats and Ipod. I didn't negotiate at all. This does not include conquest or Loyalty. Looks very good. Roughly 3,600 below invoice. In your opinion could I go lower? I will probably lease as the November rates as you had mentioned above are better than October's.

porsche911c4s

Hi Car Man + others

Here is the most recent deal I was given. They gave me this price with essentially 0 haggling. The price includes a winter certificate and something else they didn't mention. I'm self-employed and do not count in any employee pricing/fleet discount.

'12 GLK 4 matic.

MSRP: 43,635
Neg: 37,000

P1, COMAND, Heated seats

NO conquest or loyalty.

30 months / 15k Year
Monthly: $472 including tax
Residual: .62%
Money Factor: .00165 (marked up by .00030)
Due at signing: 2000 (DMV, first months, acquisition fee, window etching)

I don't want to pay for the etching of the VIN's, or pay for the inflated money factor. I called 10 different dealerships and they either thought the deal i was given was bogus or I was crazy. One sales manager was super nice and patient and agreed to give me the vehicle at the Neg. price of 37,000 and no window etching and a MF of .00155...but it requires a 300 mile round trip. No dealer I've found will give me the money factor of .00135 (which is approximately a $20/month savings). I've been in touch with dealers in CT/MA/NY. Can anyone recommend a dealer who does not inflate MF's or is this is good as it gets?

Thanks!!

gavin2000

Hi Porsche

See my deal a few posts above?

Was HARD to get Chambers of Boston them to admit money factor was .00135 (.00134 of you use autopay) -- I have bought from them before (same salesman too). IN the end they agreed but I had to threaten to walk

They were taking back a 2010 GLK off lease 5 months early, and they stood to turn that around and resell it, so were eager for deal

Deal off MSRP was in same ball park as yours -- I see you have done the math, with a difference of about $20/month -- I would try to get them to throw in the prepaid maintenance ($619 or $729, which can be residualized) and call it done?

Hi Car_Man,

Do you have the January 2012 money factor and residual numbers for 36-month lease of a 2012 GLK350 2WD with 10,000 miles per year?

Thanks in advance.

I did make the deal this week. See lease numbers below. Is this OK?

Invoice 43,160
MF 0.00187
Residual 63%
Term 30-month
Trade in amount $3000
Lease payment $586/month (tax included)

My other concerns... I wasn't sure about the acquisition fee $995 for NC (this amount was capitalized) and signed up for the Simoniz Glass Coat protection package (interior). Should I have opted out Simoniz protection and challenged the acquisition fee amount?

Additional info...

MSRP is $45,660

Heated Front

What is the MF & residual for a 2012 GLK AWD. 12K 30 month lease.
Is there any conquest cash?
Many thanks.

penichette

I've ordered a GLK 350 for ED in May, 2012. My local dealer tells me that lease finance is only available through MB for ED. Unfortunately, the finance factor quoted me as an example for March was .0023, way over the top in comparison with a local delivery rate. As I'm not going to stitch this deal up until April, I still have time to research. Is it true that ED has to be financed through MB (the official MB web site info suggests not), and if not how to go about sourcing through a bank etc? My local bank say they will do it, but want to deal directly with the dealer. I can imagine that the dealer will not be keen to do that, given their stated position. I should add that I'm in a location that has only the one MB dealer.

Any help, advice etc would be appreciated.

kyfdx

Your dealer is correct.... All ED leases have to go through MB..

Hi,

I need March's MF and residuals for a 36 month lease, for both 10,000 and 7,500 miles per year for the 2012 AWD GLK please.

Also, does MB use multiple security deposits to lower the MF? If so, does anyone know how many you can use and how much each one lowers the MF?

$795 is the base bank fee, right?

Thanks!

Anybody know what the April MF and RV is for 36 months/10K for the AWD?
