I got a deal for 2016 C300 4matic for 36/15K
MSRP: 52675.00
Neg price: 46287
Residual: 61%
Tax: 7.25%
MF: 0.00179 (I informed him to clarify as most of you here are getting 0.00152 and he told me \: I don't have that as a MF. I did check and there is a .00152 this month for Rear Wheel Drive C300's.......We are on a All Wheel Drive....)
Trade in value: 10,000
Payoff: 8,205.12
Cash due: $1000
Security deposit: 0

Monthly payment: $560.00

Am I getting a good deal?

The MF on the C300 4Matic is .00154, so the MF quoted by the dealer is still marked up.

Is the $1800 of trade equity being used to cover the up front taxes and fees?

If so, what is the net capitalized cost?

What state is this?

Same here. I'm in CA as well, please share the dealership and the name of the salesperson

rissen

Haha, 

I pm'ed that guy also and no response. 
I just want to share that dealing with car dealer is just hard, at least for me. Everyone wants you to come over to discuss on the spot, and they kinda refuse email, and when I tell them I got a quote and ask them if they can do better they are asking a signed quote in writing. These California dealers are just tough. Anyway, so far this is what I got, maybe people here can use it for reference:

C300 RWD w/ pana roof.
Dealer 1 : sport, premium 2, no multimedia - MSRP $48,515 - 2k down - $480/m tax included (this is based on using an employee discount,what they told me, I am not an employee and don't know one).

Dealer 2 : sport, premium 2, multimedia - MSRP $51,905 - 2k down - $497/m tax included.

Dealer 3 : sport, premium 2, multimedia - MSRP $52,860 -2.5k down - $499/m tax included.

Waiting on the 4th dealer quote. Only one gave me somewhat detailed quote, rest of them are not, and seems like it's their final offer. So I am not pushing it by asking details. All gave me 10%+ discount so I believe it is fair price, just not my price, I want 450/m tax included  

Hope this helps others.

Since we are all in CA, maybe we can get a group buy going to get a better deal

What is the selling price or net capitalized cost?

36/10 lease numbers on the C300 4Matic are .00154 and 64%

sandman0209

Don't know if this was ever definitively answered.  

Can we use MSD's to lower the money factor on the 2016 Mercedes c300 4matic? 

Ie.  .00154-.0007 for the MSDs to make it .00084? Is that possible?  

It it saves about $50/mo.

We don't have a definitive answer .. just reports from other posters that they've been able to use them.

Check with your local dealers to see if they will honor MSDs.

$389/mo plus tax is what I get. Need to know the adjusted cap cost, given that you are adding most of the fees and the sales tax into the lease.

Thanks for your help. The adjusted cap cost is $43761. That includes TX Accessory of $1225, acquisition fee of $995 and state tax of 1510.62. The mf is .00144 (automatic payment reduction) and the residual is 64%. I forgot to mention this includes the maintenance for the lease term. The lease amount seems higher than what others are paying for a higher priced car. Is there something I should be paying upfront instead?

What is "TX accessory"?

Acquisition fee is marked up from the base amount of $795.

I get $491/mo. with your MSRP and CAP cost, .00144 MF and 64% residual.

Price looks pretty good from here.

Just picked up my car tonight let me know what you think about my deal $1300 down $484 a month including tax and maintenance for 36 months and 12k miles a year. The MSRP on the car is $52,800 c300 4matic Black on Red Interior. I think I got a good deal. Loving the car!

rushbam94

BTW no other dealer would touch those numbers apparently many told me to jump on this deal as they wanted 510+ without tax and maintenance .

Do you mind sharing the contact info for the deal that you got?

rissen

Hi,
I am forced to not continue with the lease since my down-payment went to taxes. But I have 3 dealers giving me same matching quotes on 3 cars of about $51,500 msrp. I got quoted a $489/m tax included with 2k down. If anyone interested pm me and I will put you in contact with these guys. I don't know them personally, and the deals are good till the end of this month, since interest rate may be different after. It took me 2 weeks to get this price. All cars I got quoted on have sport, multimedia & Premium 2.

Hi what's the rv mf and promotion for lease this month?

Hello, looking for lease numbers on 2016 C300 and C450. 36/10k and 36/12k in Colorado.
Any bonus cash? Are the numbers the same on a car that comes out from being loaners?

36/12
300 - 63% and .00154
450 - 58% and .00129

Add 1% for 10K

Loaner cars have their residual adjusted down by .15-.25 per mile from the calculated amount.

No information on incentives.

Hello everybody,

Looking to lease a C300 RWD in Southern California (9% sales tax),; and I got this quote:
MSRP=44,470
Cap Cost=38,102
36 months/7,5K/year
MF=0.00152
Money down=824$ (first payment + DMV taxes);

monthly payment including tax, quoted by dealer = 436$ (297 depreciation + 103 interest + 36 tax)

I am confused because, by my calculation, it should be 402$ including taxes (268$ depreciation+101 interest + 33 tax); Interesting that interest is almost the same but the depreciation is different? I don't get what I am doing wrong.

Also I am eligible for a discount of 2000$ (due to my job), that the dealer claims it was included in the above quote but supposedly can't be combined with April Monthly Incentive of 1,500$. In March the incentive was 1,250$. Funny that if I mention the discount it is suddenly "already included".

Other funny business: 0.00152 was the "Autopay discount"; I found here that it should be 0.00142 with Autopay discount.

How good of a deal is this?

The deal described above of 489$ for a 51,500 MSRP, even with 2000 down, sounds better than my deal.

Thank you very much for your help!

Martyr2671 said:

April Monthly Incentive of 1,500$; at least in Southern California.

Up from March Monthly Incentive of 1,250$; according to one dealer, his information not mine so double check.

Thanks Michaell. Gotta say having these numbers to double check on the deal really helps me understand how to work with the dealers (at least to make sure I'm not unreasonably low-balling them).

Currently looking at a C300 RWD luxury MSRP 42,980

Im wondering what I should go in asking for price off of MSRP. Between 5-7%?

I also qualify for fleet pricing with my company for an additional 2,000 incentive.

Lastly is .00152 and 62% for a 36/12 lease still in the ballpark?
Thanks!

I confirm the MF and residual.

Read back through the last page or two of posts to see what others have been able to negotiate.

It looks like a lot of people here are leasing. Anyone is buying? I intend to buy the C300 RWD this summer. I wonder what is the reasonable discount. 10 or 15% from MSRP ? input please, I am from the Bay Area. Thanks.

I'm from Bay Area as well and am working on a lease deal. For leases the discount is one thing but there are other variables resulting in the monthly payment. If you're buying, getting the most from the discount is a good start.

Thanhs, finoob458. I am waiting to see any update for the MY2017 , otherwise, I will get the MY2016 leftover, hopefully with the best deal.

Hi,
I am looking for MF and residual for c300 4matic, 36 mths and 7500mi/yr.
Is 36 mths the most advantageous term?
Also, how does auto pay change the numbers?

Thx in advance.

.00154 and 65%. Autopay reduces the MF by .00010

Just leased a c3004wd today and was able to use 10 MSDs and auto pay to bring down the MF to .00074. They had no idea about it had to have them dig a little deeper to get all the info but at the end it can save you 50-60 bucks on payment.

Congrats, and thanks for sharing your lease details. Can you tell us how much the MF was reduced for each MSD?

Every MSD moves the MF .00007  and .0001 for autopay.
