I'm interested in leasing a 2017 Mercedes C-300 Sport Sedan in California and was wanting to know if these numbers of this quote look correct. I'm somewhat close to the numbers I would like to agree to, however I was wanting to know if there were any categories that I could negotiate or talk down to help get my payments a bit lower. This is what he quoted, but I plan on rolling the acq and doc fees into the monthly. Thanks!!
$54,780 = MSRP
$46,684 = reduced cap cost.
_______________
36 month lease @ 10K miles per year.
Residual is 60% or $32,868
Money factor is $.00141
Acq fee is $1095
Total drive offs $2268.16
Remaining 35 payments including tax $539.35.
The MF markup is costing you about $17/mo, after tax.
And, the acquisition fee is marked up, as well - base fee is $795.
The doc fee in CA is capped at $80.
If I add the acq fee of $795 to the selling price, and use the base MF, I get a payment of just over $547/mo
Ask the dealer for the full breakdown of the $2268 in drive offs - first payment, acquisition fee, and DMV costs? Anything else?

Thanks for getting back to me. This is what the internet sales manager sent me for the breakdown of the driveoff.
With your marked up money factor, I get a payment of $496/mo.+tax, which is pretty close, if your tax rate is around 9.2% (looks like it might be a little lower than that, though).
With the base MF, the payment would drop about $17/mo.
With the base acquisition fee, your out of pocket would drop by about $340/mo. (coupled with the lower payment with base MF)
Finance office gets commission on those upcharges, so those are hard to negotiate out.. Might be easier to get them to drop the price to compensate.
Now that you know the numbers, and what you are paying for, you can always negotiate monthly price.
Tell them you want $520/mo. with $2000 due at signing, and see what happens.

I'm wondering what the C300 Sedan AWD residual/money factor is in Connecticut. Looking at 3 years, 15k miles per year.
Also - I'm looking at a service loaner with 4500 miles. Do you guys know how I can calculate the mileage penalty?
Thanks so much!
Usually there is a mileage charge for loaners, deducted from the residual. Likely between .15-.25 per mile; confirm the rate with the dealer.

Just got this lease offer for a 2017 C-300 Sedan Sport:
36month/12k
MSRP $54780.00
Initial Cap Cost (Selling Price): $46,550
Residual: 59%
Acq: $1095
Title: $116
DMV: $414
MF (after autopay and 10MSDs): 0.00051
Sales tax: 9.25
Drive off = $7055.68 ($6,000 in MSD)
Monthly = $506.53 after tax + Prepaid Maintenance = $520/month after tax
Does this checkout, and do you think it is a good deal?
Thanks!!
I get $467/mo.+tax, which looks about right, assuming the title/DMV are part of the $1055 due upfront.
The acquisition fee is marked up by $300, but considering the big discount, it looks like a good deal.

Do you have any more details on how they arrived at the $46,550 selling price? That seems very aggressive.
Is this a loaner or do you have Fleet or USAA incentives?
Thanks.
I'm in CT, if the factors vary by state. (note i'm also posting in the e300 - looking at both cars)
Thanks so much for your help!
Could you please give me the MF/RV and other incentive information (loyalty/conquest offers)?
Thx!!
I am in negotiating a 2017 c300 lease. I live in California so the Residual is 57% with MF .00121. Does this deal seem good? The payment includes tax
I am looking for the residual and money factor for a C300 4Matic Sedan and a 36/12 lease in MA.
Thank you!

Ask the dealer for the adjusted cap cost - this will be the selling price plus any fees you aren't paying up front.
I don't see the acquisition fee of $795 anywhere on that paperwork.
This wouldn't be an AutoNation dealer, would it?

Can I have the MF and depreciation for C300 4 Matic Sedan and Coupe 36mo/15k? I am in Illinois. Do you happen to have info on MSD?
Mercedes does have an MSD program. We've heard different stories as to whether you can combine it with subvented money factors.

Acquisition fee is imposed by the bank; the base rate is $795, though many dealers mark it up
The dealer service fee is pure profit for the dealers. Mitigate that amount with a lower negotiated price.

1. How much does Auto Pay knock off?
2. How much do MSDs knock off? And how is the MSD amount calculated?
3. Ideally which fees should I pay upfront and which should be rolled into the monthly payment?
Thanks again!
