    .00118 MF and 62% residual.

    That tax number isn't relevant for a lease. Florida taxes the monthly payment, not the full selling price.
    Ask for the adjusted CAP cost on that deal.

    Hello,

    I recently pulled the trigger on a 2016 C300 RWD Sport Sedan. What do you guys think of the deal?

    MSRP: $53485
    Selling Price: $44225 (17.31% discount including $2300 Fleet rebate)
    Acquisition Fee: $795
    Down Payment: $0
    Drive Off: $0 (Rolled every penny into cap cost)
    Adjusted Cap Cost: $45300
    Lease Term: 3yr/12k (61 % residual and .00108 MF with auto pay)

    Monthly: $499.54 including 8.75% CA tax

    I also purchased the 3yr pre paid maintenance ($975) which was added to the MSRP and then residualized so monthly payment with maintenance is $515.

    .00118 and 50% for 48/12 on C300 RWD.

    Using your MSRP and sale price, I get $628/mo with 9% tax added in.

    FWIW, the payment on a 36 month lease is $640/mo

    And, there are a number of up front costs associated with a lease that could be covered by the $3K. That is different than a down payment.

    Hello Moderator.

    I have been working on this deal for a few days and was curious if we have a good deal or could do a little better. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    MY16 C450
    $ 63,420 MSRP
    10% discount off the MSRP + another $2,000 for my fleet incentive.

    12/36 lease program
    .00025 MF ( Thats with MSD and Autopay)
    56% residual

    We were quoted a lease price of $581/month, but we would love to try and get it down to $550.

    Thanks for the help

    If $55,078 is the CAP cost, then that is $566/mo.

    No insight here regarding price possible.

    C300 - .00137 and 63%
    C450 - .00096 and 59%

    As you can see, the MF is marked up. Yes, the numbers we quote is the buy rate, but you can have that used. MF markup is simply dealer profit.

    What are the adjusted cap costs for each car, once the negative equity and fees are rolled into the cap cost?

    Using your numbers, I get $474/mo with tax (before the pre-paid maintenance is added).

    There is about $1000 difference somewhere .. confirm the adjusted cap cost with the dealer - might they have slipped something else into the deal?

    Hello,
    Trying to decide on term of c450 lease. The monthly payment for 4 yr lease (10k) is $77 less than for the 3 yr lease. My concern is that with a 4 yr lease I will likely have to pay for 1 or poss. 2 sets of tires (the car comes with run-flats, which I understand have a shorter life span). The cost of the tires and possible brakes would offset any savings over the 4 yrs. Any thoughts?

    Have you priced tires?

    Yes, you should run the numbers for 3 years total cost of ownership vs. 4 years (maintenance, insurance, consumables - tires and brakes.

    In general, 3 year leases are most popular for a reason ...

    That $800 difference works out to about $22/mo .. $24 with tax.

    .00096 and 59%. This is Before applying the discount for security deposits.

    With your prices I get $634/mo per month. What MF is the dealer using? I suspect it may be marked up before applying the MSD.

    is your figure of 634 before or after MSDs are applied?. (Yes , the dealer says he is s\using .00096 and 59%) The quoted figure of $618 is AFTER MSDs.

    Before MSD. Which is why I'm questioning the payment. Usually, MSD brings down the payment $30-50/mo, not $18.

    Hi Michael - thx so much for all of this information! I'm working a deal with my local dealer on a executive loaner '16 C300. These guys are great, and have given me excellent service and deals in the past, however - I am just not sold on this offering. May I please ask your opinion, and maybe others can chime in as well?
    Here's the layout:
    2016 C300W w/ Premium Pkg. / Rearview camera / 18inch spoked wheels / Blind Spot / Walnut trim. Pano Sunroof. Black
    7,000 miles on it
    Lease term 36/10
    MSRP 43,890
    Selling price is 39,160
    Residue is 27,211 at .00118 MF
    3,000 down
    acq fee is 1,095
    429 a month including tax

    First - I think that down payment is way too high, and it seems from the other deals I've seen here, I could obtain a non-loaner for the same, unless I'm dreaming?

    thanks so much!!!

    Doesn't look that great. I would assume that the residual will be adjusted down from that number, to account for the mileage. The MF and residual are correct (except for the mileage reduction).

    Is $3000 the total amount due at signing, or is it $3000 plus fees and 1st payment?

    Loaners should be better deals than brand-new units, or why get one?

    HI - thanks for the reply! agree - it should be a better deal. He changed it to $2K total amount due, and $398 including tax. $37,313 w/ 62% residual.
    When I try to build this car in true car, it tells me $43K is the best deal, which is weird because thats the retail. KBB states that a CPO in this class/features should be around 38K, but from what I am reading here on the forum, folks are getting new cars at that same discount. I offered $36K w/ $1500 down, 36/12, and they said no.
    Thanks for your advice - if you have any other suggestions or resources, please let me know.

    You may be working with a stubborn dealer.

    Find out what they're willing to do on a new model.

    And, reach out to other dealers - the competition will do you good.

    Hi - thanks, you're right. They have the monopoly in this area, but I have reached out to others, just waiting to see. Thing is - I just got back from test driving a new 2017 Audi A4, nicely equipped - quoted me $37K and the driving experience was 10x more fun than the C300, so I may have just changed my mind...
  • keytartonykeytartony Member Posts: 7
    FYI - they came back w/ same terms but $1500 down, $400 per month (incl tax) and upped the mileage to 12K... they are working with me, and the salesperson is a great guy and so is the store, so thats worth something too - but, I still can't see this as a reasonable deal on a 7K car...
    thx!

    FYI - they came back w/ same terms but $1500 down, $400 per month (incl tax) and upped the mileage to 12K... they are working with me, and the salesperson is a great guy and so is the store, so thats worth something too - but, I still can't see this as a reasonable deal on a 7K car...
    thx!

    I'd still like to know what they're willing to do on a new unit ... there had better be a substantial savings to account for the mileage.

    I get $650 plus tax, so in the ballpark.

    What state and tax rate?

    What does the $3800 cover?

    $2,353.79 cap reduction and the rest I'm assuming is tax license ect.

    California, San Diego - Carlsbad

    I think tax is like 8.25?

    Got this deal offer on a C450. 

    MSRP $62710
    Cap Cost $55000
    Fleet Discount -$2300
    Residual 59% on 36/10k
    MF 0.00096 but 0.00084 with autopay
    Lender fee $1095
    $2332 due at signing (probably lender fee plus doc fees plus first month)

    Anything wrong? Seems like lender fee is inflated.

    Acquisition fee is marked up - base is $795.

    With your numbers, I get $577/mo plus tax. What payment is the dealer quoting?

    And, I'd ask for a complete breakdown of the up front money.

    Hello All,

    I went to a Mercedes Benz dealer in Houston, TX (August 2016) to shop around for a new lease. I currently have a BMW428i coupe and it is not due till December of this year so Mercedes stated they could add my remaining payments to this lease. I do not want to do this and would rather pay off the balance myself. Also, I do not want to put any money down. Even after letting them know of what I was looking for -__- they went ignored... these are the numbers the sales person provided me with:

    2016 C300 Sedan
    MSRP: 38,950.00
    Market Value: 52,685.00
    Savings: 5,000.00 (dealer discounted $5,000 guessing since it is a 2016 model)
    Accesories: 2,320.00 (I currently have a 428i and my remaining paymets equal to this amount)
    Adj. Sales Price: 50,005.00
    Tax: 3,070.82
    Doc Fee: 150
    Fees: 202.75
    Net Sales Price: 53,428.57

    12K miles / 36 months

    Term: 36 RES: 61.00 Cash Down: 3,000.00 Payment: 701.05

    This does not seem right so I left the dealer. He assured me that I would not find cheaper payment for the most prestigious car brand. So returning there is def out of the question. lol

    Your MSRP cannot be right, given the rest of the numbers.

    I live in NJ- In a lease is it better to roll the taxes into the lease or better to pay the total tax up front with the initial payment.
  • jaxgil86jaxgil86 Member Posts: 7
    I think I'm confused in this piece. The MSRP is what I see on the window for that base model 2016 C300, it has a ton of upgrade (AMG wheels, premium leather and so on) that cranked up the price to the $52,685.00. 

    I live in Texas

    I would roll them in. If your vehicle is totaled, it's not likely NJ is going to rebate your taxes.

    The MSRP used for any lease calculation is the bottom number on the government-required window sticker. Including options and destination fee.

    Hi Moderator,
    With my ordered 2017 Mercedes C43 AMG Coupe due at the VPC within the next week or two at most, hopefully the residual and MF values have finally been published with the new September numbers! (The C300 Coupe and C63 Coupe AMG numbers, I believe, have previously been published). Please let me know so that I can configure my costs and see if you agree. If not published, I'm curious as to what the dealership does for me to take delivery?
    Thanks very much
