.00152 MF. 60% residual for 36mo, 15K/yr.

The higher mileage allowance would reduce the residual on a per-mile bases. Somewhere around $0.15-$0.25 per mile (not sure exactly)

kainnyc

Cool i get to inform the moderator. @ 20k they are giving me a residual value of 56%, the five percent difference is reasonable considering 45k miles to 60k miles. In nj is all i can speak of. 2016 C class sport, custom order. Thanks Edmunds

kainnyc

ps the extra mileage costs me 2800 roughly which came out to 5.3 cents a mile

They adjusted the residual and didn't charge you on a per mile basis? That's interesting.

$2800 divided by 15,000 miles is 18.7 cents/mile

Hi, first time looking for a lease on a 2016 C300 4matics 36 month 15k miles/year. I'm in PA. Below is a quote I received. Is this a good lease price? MSRP: 53940 Purchase price (after discounts) : 46788 Lease: $2100 down (includes all fees and first month payment) $552/month or $3100 down $522/month or $4100 down $491/month Lease disposition fee $595 residual 61% ($32903.40) Is this a good deal? I'm thinking of going with the $2100 down option. Thanks

What discounts/incentives did you use to get 13-14% off msrp?

4Matic numbers for 36/15 - .00154 and 61%. Add 2% for 12K. Packages do not impact the numbers.

Hi, Do you have Feb 2016 Residuals and MF for C450 AMG 4Matic for 10k/12k/15K 36Months? Also does MB accept MSDs like BMW/Audi? If so how many and how does it affect the MF?

Thanks

.00129 and 56% for 36/15. Add 2% for 12K or 3% for 10K.

MB does offer an MSD program, but we aren't certain it can be used against supported MF, like that for the C450.

what is the residual for C300 RWD 1yr/12k miles and 2yrs/12k miles ?

Michaell

jalwaaa said:

MB does not offer 12 month lease terms.

24/12 - .00152 and 67%

jalwaaa

ok and is it advisable to take 2yr prepaid maintenance or 1yr prepaid maintenance on a 2 yr lease ?

Michaell

jalwaaa said:

It depends on if the dealer is willing to add the cost to the MSRP so it gets residualized. 

jalwaaa

my dealer will not but the reason i asked was because in a 2 yr lease i am thinking i can get away with a 1yr maintenance package instead of 2 as by the end of yr 2 i anyways would have to return the car and hence taking a 2yr maintenance on a 2yr lease would not make sense since the second maintenance would be done at 2yr end, making it useless for me

I am currently driving a 2014 C250 on a lease for $400 and have about an year to go before the lease ends.

Just got an email from the dealer that I can upgrade to 2016 C300 lease for similar price. Although I planned to buy the car at end of the lease but this offer is kinda tempting. Is it really advisable to upgrade to another lease when I have already made 24 payments? What are costs associated when doing an upgrade and do dealers offer any incentives for upgrade?

Somebody has to make the $4800 of remaining payments - doubt that the dealer will cover it. May be getting rolled into the new offer.

You need the following information in order to evaluate the deal:

Payoff of the existing lease - call MBFS for this number
Trade in Value - dealer will give this to you, but get independent numbers (Carfax or the "Real World Trade in Values" discussion)

Then, you'll know if you have positive or negative equity on your current car.

Next, get the breakdown of the numbers on the lease of the 2016 -- without the trade. Dealers love to confuse folks by mixing numbers from the new deal and the trade.

Here is an offer I got today on the 2016 C450:

MSRP: $53,600
Selling Price: $47,839
1,639.03 due at signing($795 acquisition fee+$250 DMV fees+1st month payment)
$594.03 per month including 9% PA tax
MF: .00119 (autopay) and 59% residual

Is this a good deal? Dealer said right now MBFS doesn't support leases on the C450s, so maybe March program will be more aggressive.

I get the same payment as the dealer quote, to the penny.

If you're comfortable with the selling price, no reason not to go forward.

Thank you! Decided to wait for the "17 C300 coupe. As much as I want the C450 AMG I understand that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it fully in NYC and the tri-state area because of the stupid speed limits (25 MPH in NYC) and bad roads. Why can't we get no speed limit zones like the autobahn in the states is beyond me... Although, I probably know the answer - state and municipal greed:)

I live out west and the highest speed limit is the next state over in Utah - 80 MPH on a stretch of I-15.

Hi Moderator,would you mind sharing the Feb MF and residual for a 2016 C300 RWD 36 Month/15K?

Also is the acquisition fee fixed across the nation? My dealership claims all local dealerships have a higher fee than the nation one...

Also there seems to be a $1,250 MB bonus cash for Feb.. when will March numbers be available?

.00152 and 60%

Base acquisition fee is $795, but the dealer can mark it up ($1095 is common)

March numbers will be available ... in March

I live in Seattle and ordered a 2016 Mercedes E Class Wagon. With $1000 down and my trade in of $3,000 I am being quoted a money factor of .00248 and a RV of 61% and monthly payment of $1015. Does that sound like a good deal? The sticker was $76,905 (loaded) and I negotiated down to $71,800. I was tld by Michaell in the Audi forum (I ordered a Q7 too in case I did not like he MB) that the standard MF for MB is .00200-.00220. Thanks!

Subtract .00010 for autopay. Add 1% for 7500 miles.

I'm in SoCal but are the numbers for NY the same for all MB nationwide? I'm looking at C300 sport, rwd, 7500 miles. Length of lease could be from 27-36 months depending on which have the best terms. Autopay of course. Is the $1,250 cash incentive still in effect? Thanks!

MB numbers are nationwide.

.00152 and 69% (24/7.5), 66% (30/7.5) or 64% (36/7.5)

No information on incentives.
