    Does this look like a good deal?

    Nope .. with those numbers, I get a payment of $355/mo before tax. I suspect the net cap cost is higher than the selling price; make the dealer explain why that is.

    Okay... those numbers are exact. And, complete information.

    The only thing I'd point out is the acquisition fee is marked up from the base amount of $795.

    Given the big discount and base money factor, that's a minor quibble. It's a good deal.

    Rear Trunk Lid Spoiler
    Aluminum/Gloss Black Trim
    Panorama Sunroof

    hi everybody
    I am trying to lease a 2015 c300, and the dealer give me the price as follows
    4matic
    sport package
    multi media package with out rear view camera
    premium package
    panoramic roof

    the car price comes out to be 51,800, 12k miles/36 month
    the dealer's final offer was 3200 up front, and 465 monthly, when I said to register it in MA instead of new york, cus I have a MA driver license, the dealer came back with 3450 up front and 462 monthly. they said the registration fee in MA is actually higher than NY.

    is this a good deal?
    and also about the registration fee, is that true? because NY tax is actually 2% higher than MA
    THANK YOU!

    The lease numbers for the 2015 C300 (4Matic?) are .00119 and 61% for 36/12.

    We would need to know the net cap cost and the breakdown of the up front money to fully evaluate your deal.

    No idea about the relative cost of registration fees in different states.

    New here, Looking to lease this week, Thanks for any help!

    "I am looking at a 2015 C300 4Matic Sport w/ a sticker price of $51,990. 36 months, 12K miles, $44,500 buy price. I am being quoted $450 per month with no down payment. I am paying taxes, title, registration, acquisition fee upfront. They are showing a residual of about $32K. Is this a good deal?

    I get $446 with those numbers (.00119 and 61% for 36/12). So, pretty close to the quote you've gotten.


    -Kind Sir, what would be a great monthly lease price if this was 15k mi per year? In WI

    $502/mo.+tax using those parameters. If maintenance plan is only $12/mo, you should take it.

    I'm sorry, never leased before.

    Did not firm a selling price.


    4200 toward the lease.

    795 Acc. fee.

    Im in WI if that helps.

    Yours thoughts?

    Or how I can educate myself on this?

    Thanks man!

    The $5K also includes the first payment, right?

    You need to know the selling price, CAP cost, and money factor.
    How much is the maintenance plan? Can it be residualized?

    .00119 MF and 61% residual for 36mo, 12K/yr. 59% for 15K/yr.

    You have to break down the numbers, just like you were purchasing the vehicle.
    Also, no need to put $5000 upfront on a lease. That just obscures the actual cost of the vehicle.

    $1000 upfront and $525/mo. is a better structure (but, we need the other numbers to know if that's a good deal).

    Couple of general questions.

    1. How is lease payment calculated? Let's say the MSRP of the C300 is 50K. And, I negotiated the price down to 45K. And residual is 61% for 36/12. Do I multiply 50k (MSRP) by 61% or the 45K (Buy Price) by 61%? Then do I subtract the number by the buy price or the MSRP price? And, do I take that number and multiplied by 1.00119? Then the number divided by 36 will be my monthly payment?

    2. Is it better to go with low down payment or higher down payment?

    Many thanks in advance

    2. We recommend no down payment on a lease - if the car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.

    Thank you Michaell. It is so helpful! Do you have information on how to negotiate the best deal? I searched online, and the method I found most applicable is to email all the dealers and ask them for the best price. Then take the very best price to ask other dealers to beat the price. Is it a realistic approach?

    The base MF for the C300 is .00119, so yours is marked up.

    Good discount from sticker, however.

    Autopay discount is .0001, so the MF would be .00109.

    I get $474.55/mo before tax using the .00109 MF - what is the sales tax rate in Boston?

    Here's what the dealer offered 52145 msrp
          6300 discount selling at.    45845
                                 Residul.                 61%
                               Mf.                          0.00149
                  Upfront.                           2200
                                         Monthly.  538. With tax included
    That number is right? And what can I do to get it lower
    Thank you so much
    sry i meant 2015 c300, not gl450
    The base MF for the C300 is .00119, so yours is marked up. Good discount from sticker, however.

    thanks, I am also doing auto pay, what mf is that? and with all these numbers  i get 511, the dealers calculation is wrong?
    Autopay discount is .0001, so the MF would be .00109. I get $474.55/mo before tax using the .00109 MF - what is the sales tax rate in Boston?
    7%
    can you give me the full equattion on how you cone up with that number, cus I get 511 with 0.00149mf, and 476 with 0.00109, tax included,
    there is about 1000 down payment in that 2200 upfront

    Well, the MF they are quoting you is marked up ... base rate is .00119. I do confirm the residual values.

    Using the base MF and 61% residual and the MSRP quoted and a selling price of $44,290, I get a pre-tax payment of $467.35.

    I get $505.27/mo before tax with those numbers (59% residual).

    About $700 difference over the life of the lease.

    They have to source it from out of state. and put a spoiler on it. Not sure if that built in....

    That will be a great price for 505.27? Shoot for that?
    Thanks sir.

    Don't negotiate the payment amount .. negotiate the selling price and keep a close eye on all the extra fees.

    Wow, that sounds a great deal to have $7,000 off MSRP. Is it upfront pricing, or it needs a good negotiation skill to get the deal? I live in seattle, do you think I'll be able to take this price and ask the dealers here to beat the price?

    This forum is ridiculously helpful, especially for a lease newbie like me. Thank you!

    Here's the offer I got last night from a dealer in the SF Bay Area:

    MSRP (w delivery): 49,030
    Cap Cost: 43,000
    Down payment: 0
    MF: 0.00108
    Residual: 63% (7,500 miles/36 months)

    Monthly payment: $458 (before tax) and $1,500 drive off (he said this included the first month's payment + fees)

    What do you guys think? Is this good, or should I try to get that cap cost down?

    Thank you!
