With the $51,000 MSRP and assuming 9.8% sales tax, the cap cost would have to be $52,000 to get $800/mo with tax included. That's after the $4000 down.
That, or the dealer is marking up the MF for extra profit.
Not a good deal.
Ask the dealer for the adjusted cap cost, and a full breakdown of the $4000.

2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R / 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige
36mo/30k miles
MSRP: 50,970
Negotiated price: 46,869
MF: 0.00160 after autopay
3k down
0% sales tax
Assumed $1275 in fees
Dealer says it should be about ~$615/mo
Seems kind of high. Do these numbers seem correct? I've used a couple online calculators as well as my own from this website and I get more like $550/mo. Also, they said they don't let us do security deposits..is this normal?
Any idea where this extra cost is coming from? Can I confirm the RV (I assumed 58%)?
Ask for the adjusted CAP cost. That should clear up any discrepancy. Acquisition fee is probably marked up from the $795 base, as well.

1) What is Money Factor and Residual Value on 2017 GLC 300 2WD in HTown, Texas?
MSRP $44,375
Negotiated: $41,000
Tax: 2,648.68
Various other items (doc fee, title, license, e-tag, etc)
Total: $43,990
0 down / 10k miles / 36 months
2) What is expected monthly payment?
PS: my initial quote is $750 per month.
At that total price, I get $600/mo.
Don't see the acquisition fee, though. That's $795 (possibly marked up to $1095). That's not enough to raise the price by $150/mo. though. I suspect a massive markup in the money factor, as well.
Adding $1095 only takes you up to $633/mo.

Thanks for that information!!!
1) Does MBUSA allow Texas Dealerships to offer Money Factor Reduction using MS Deposits?
2) How many are allowed? 5, 7, or 10?
We don't have the details of it, however.

Quote is for 2017 Glc Coupe:
Retail price: $54,265
Discounted to $52,000 selling price
Fees: $602
Sales Tax: $3681.93
Net Sales Price: $56, 283.93
36/7.5k miles: $0 down/$891, $1k/$861, and $5k/$741
36/10k: $0/906, $1k/$876, and $5k/$756
They quoted a MF of 0.00146, when I told them 0.00081 was the rate, they said that a 1/2 percentage point mark-up is standard.
I can't figure out where all the extra money is going? Does this sound right? Taxes would be up front in GA and this is with it rolled into the payment. Any advice for negotiating? Not many 2017s left on the lots out here.
It's possible there are other fees and charges not included, as well.
$60/mo extra for that money factor bump. Even a good deal is going to be $800+/mo. for 36/10 with $0 down.

Therefore, I would ask the dealer for the adjusted (or net) cap cost.
And, we do not recommend putting money down on a lease - that money would be lost if the car is stolen or totaled.

I would suggest paying only the first payment and DMV costs up front, and adding all other taxes and fees into the lease payment.

Also, they claimed they don't know what an MSD is...and that they don't do it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of the base MF of .00134, I was being charged .00234 MF.
When I asked for the MF, the General Manager of dealership here in Houston said, "I charge my customer 150 basis points on the Money Factor, I am only charging you 100 basis points."
He also wanted to charge $1095 to make a profit of $300 on the acquisition fee.
Third, he claimed he "needs to make a profit to keep the lights on." and I was given a significant discount on the MSRP from $44,000 to $41,000.
Given that there are only three MB dealerships in Houston, what is your recommendation?
Should I ask them to order me the base model advertised on their website and wait?
Find another dealer.

Each MSD is the lease payment rounded up to the next $50 increment.

The dealer insisted on marking up MF to .0018.
As this car is so popular, they don't want to reduce the price too much.

I'd confirm both the MF and adjusted cap cost, as those are the only two variables in a lease payment calculation.

So I called and was told that the adjusted cap is 36,857 and that original MF is .0134 before 2k security deposit which decreased MF to .00093. The .00079 was if I put a 3k security deposit my mistake. How does this sound any good or is dealer marking anything up like MF?

.00134 is the base MF for the GLC300 RWD, so that's good.
Now I'm at $409/mo plus tax, which looks closer to the dealer quote.

Do we have the MF/RV for 2017 GLC 300 RWD in NM 87113
36/10000 miles and 36/7500 miles
Also, I was wondering if it would be smart to lease a 2017 in July or would I benefit more with a higher RV on a 2018
Thanks in advance for all the help!
New models rarely have better lease deals than the outgoing model.

2017 GLC300 4Matic 36/12k with autopay in Michigan
Thank you!
By the way, Miami Mercedes is discounting a 44k car $5500 to $38500
My dealership is quoting me crazy #s on this car. 36/10 at $750 per month with $1000 down. After some tooth pulling, they told me the MF is .00216(!) and residual is around $29k (selling price $47k). I'm not doing this deal, obviously, but I'm not sure what gives. I have 800+ credit, etc.
I had planned to put down some MSDs and do auto pay to reduce the MF further, but it seems pointless when we are starting with a jacked-up MF.
I'm moving on to another dealership to try to negotiate a little better, and I'm also wondering....
1. What is a reasonable MF for a 1-pay MB lease?
2. MB loaners - how much % off sticker price will they usually go? I have never negotiated a loaner.

Don't have the one-pay money factor.
A loaner will have the residual reduced to account for the current mileage. It should be discounted further to account for that residual reduction, plus an additional amount more than a new unit would be. No idea how low you can go.
