    Crystal ball is murky about the future. Probably won't be a big change, but that is just a guess.

    Hello turning in my lease on a E350 for a 2016 CLS400.

    P1 Package
    Designo Metallic Paint
    19in AMG Multi Spoke rims
    Lane Tracking Package

    MSRP $74,775

    Quoted Price: $66,700

    36Mos/10K Year

    Dealer quoted me .00126 MF/58% Residual

    $890/mo (Taxes, Bank Fees, Registration Rolled in)
    $0 out of pocket, only first month.

    Any thoughts?

    I agree with .00126 MF and 58% residual.

    $787/mo. without anything rolled in.

    Need about $3550 extra to hit $890/mo.
    Acquistion fee is $795.. Ask what the other $2750 is for. Depending on your state/tax rate, it could be kosher.. or, there might be some padding.

    This is what I am being quoted on a 2016 CLS400:


    Vehicle:
    2016 MERCEDES BENZ CLS CLASS CLS400C 4dr Sdn CLS400


    Stock #:


    VIN:


    Miles:
    98

    PURCHASE OPTION

    Vehicle Price:
    $78,975.00


    Savings:
    -
    $7,107.00


    Price:
    $71,868.00


    Sales Tax (estimate):
    +
    $4,385.39


    Tag/Registration Fees (estimate):
    +
    $273.10


    Tire/Battery/MVWEA:
    +
    $6.50


    Dealer Service Fee:
    +
    $699.95


    Balance Due (estimate):
    $77,232.94

    No Trade-In
    LEASE OPTIONS
    Cash Due 24 months 36 months
    12,000 Miles 12,000 Miles
    $1,700 $1380 $1053
    $2,700 $1332 $1022
    $3700 $1285 $992

    24 months .00189 money factor 61% residual
    36 months .00169 money factor 57% residual

    When asked about the higher money factor than what was quoted by you this was the response I received:

    "The lease special for this vehicle is $779 + tax on a $71075 vehicle not a $78975 vehicle. With $5573 due at signing plus $699 dealer fee plus $300 tag fee plus first months payment. So about $7600 due at signing.
    The $2000 bonus cash is part of that $7000 discount you are getting.
    So if you would like to take a much cheaper car and put $7600 down we can get you close to that payment, but what you are asking for is something completely different.
    So we are at $1053 a month with $1700 down, if you would like to make me an offer somewhere in this ballpark I will see what I can do, otherwise yes this is the best."

    Please let me know what you think.

    Correct - 60% for 24 months, 54% for 36 months.

    Don't know the exact number, but somewhere between .00200 and .00220

    This is the quote I received from dealer. I dont really like the numbers they raised the MF.
    Based on 36 month / 12k miles

    Msrp: $76,380
    Total cap cost: $70,832.63
    Customer cash: 3000 (Down I'm putting)
    Minus drive off : 1858.52
    Total cap reduction: 1141.48
    Net cap cost: $69,691.15
    Net residual: $42,009
    Residual % : 55%
    License fee : $581
    Doc fee : $80
    cap reduction tax : $190.11
    Money factor: 0.001300
    Acq fee: 1095.00

    Total monthly payment $991.86

    I get $914/mo.+tax.

    Not only is the MF marked up, but so is the acq.fee ($795 base)

    $861/mo.+tax, with base MF and acquisition fee.

    Opinion?

    I get $914/mo.+tax.

    Not only is the MF marked up, but so is the acq.fee ($795 base)

    $861/mo.+tax, with base MF and acquisition fee.
    They wont be getting 1 cent from me.
    2017 about to hit showrooms how much discount should I expect for 2016?
    10-20% ?

    Can I get MF/residual on 2016 Cls400 for August.(Southern California)
    Also, which is better to lease in term of payments / incentives.

    24/12 or 36/12

    Thank you.

    .00090 MF and 59%/55% residual

    36 month payment should be much lower.
    This is the quote I received from dealer. I dont really like the numbers they raised the MF.
    Based on 36 month / 12k miles

    We don't track selling prices - use the "make / model / year" pull downs at the top of the page to link to the price tools.
