2014 C250 lease question

bg309

1. is it possible to get a lease for 10k miles, $400/month payment?
2. if so, what is the best way to negotiate that if I do not care about keeping the car at the end of the lease?

This month, Mercedes is advertising the C250 sedan for $359/mo. with $4153 due at signing, for 27 mo, 10K/yr lease.

With just 1st payment and acq.fee due at signing ($1278), the payment is $473/mo, and for a true "sign and drive" lease, it's 26 payments of $503/mo.

The advertised price is on a unit with Premium Package and an MSRP of $39,225. Tax and title/dealer fees would be extra.

Even though you can sometimes do better than the advertised lease deal, I'd say it would be awfully hard to get to $400/mo, without $4000 due at signing.. Closer to $500/mo, without a downpayment.

thanks! Got an email saying Mercedes would do $0 down, $460/month for 48 month lease. Sounds like a good deal, any advantage to getting 48 months? Or should I negotiate a 27/33 months?

48 months is a long time to lease a car.. I'd stick with 27 or 36 month terms, as those are the best, from a payment perspective.

Ok, here is what I purchased yesterday: 2014 C250, Premium 1, no multimedia package but added the Becker system for $600, $37,469 (MSRP $42,000), 48 month lease, 12k, $408/month, residual 52%, MF .001010. Tip that I did not do: ask about the auto-pay discount prior to agreeing to monthly payments.

also, the payments for the 27/33 month lease were a lot HIGHER than the 48 month.

Congrats on the new Mercedes!
