This is what their quote says:
MSRP: $39,450
Discount: $4,500 (11.4%)
Sale Price: $35,450
Tax: $287.54 (Not sure what this is calculated from. Florida has 6% Sales tax and my county has an additional 1% up to $5000)
Tag and Title Fees: $266.50
Pre-Delivery Charge: =$799 (Can this be negotiated off?)
Total: $37,398.04 (This is $1,095 more than the above numbers. I assume this is the Acquisition Fee?)
For that, with $3000 down, they're saying $384/month. He told me that the $3000 is the "out-the-door" cost.
To me, this deal seems okay. They're probably marking up the MF (My calculation shows .00034 MF) but the 11% discount on MSRP seems nice. If I use the base rate of 0.00014 and a 7% discount I get ~$2,600 down for $384/mo. Thoughts?
Upfront tax would be for taxable items paid upfront. Like the acquisition fee and any CAP cost reduction. Sort of looks like they are charging you tax on the whole $3000, which doesn't seem exactly right, but I'm not a sales tax expert.
The $799 is a garbage fee. Not worth negotiating that directly, unless you like hearing dealership employees lie. Just adjust your offer to account for it.
$39450 minus $4500 discount doesn't equal $35450. Is the MSRP, the discount or the Sale price wrong?
The base acquisition fee is $795. They've probably marked it up the max to $1095.

That's only $9/mo. off their price. Pretty close

Also, you guys don't ever have incentive or rebate info, do you? If not, do you at least know if Mercedes has stopped doing much incentives or rebates? I can't find anything for current ones online and 3 years ago when I leased my last vehicle there were tons, so thinking I missed some big change with MBFS offers or something, especially considering residuals seems to be 10%+ lower than what they were the last time I leased.
Thank you!

I'm looking to get a CLA and I keep offering everyone $300/month including tax, $2000 down to cover everything out the door for 10k miles 36 months.
Seems from what I've called in and offered, this is too low?
I don't understand these MF terms or anything. Can someone just suggest me what price range car needs to be to be this price?
(ALSO I got offered a C300 for about $350/month with $2000 down. Basic $40K MSRP...was just over my budget but was obviously a steal- so i know i should be able to get cla at 300)
What state is this?
What do you think the $2000 should cover?
Don't just blindly start making offers without understanding what you're doing.
Try this link to get you started; there are some good articles that will de-mystify what leasing is all about.

what would the MF and residual be for 15k/36 months and the zip code is 30301.
I have built the car I wanted online, and wanted to ensure that I am getting the best deal. What should I be looking at for a percentage off? The price I got for the car is 39440. Are their any incentives that I could get?
We do not track pricing.

Based on my numbers in the deal how much percent am I getting off the the MSRP for it being a loaner car?
Yes, either push to reduce the acquisition fee (or the selling price) by $300
I don't see a selling price listed on that sheet - if the "INITIAL CAP COST" is the selling price, then about 14% off sticker.

The base acquisition fee is $795. The dealer has marked it up to $1095 for extra profit.
(the $1175 fee number is $1095 acquisition + $80 doc fee)
Your sale price is about 14% off MSRP, but you'd have to know the selling price of a new one, to know how much lower you are getting, due to loaner status.

The cap cost was $600 (pictured above says $31,086.95) or so lower on a 0.00054 MF. Seems a little off to me still.
Looks like $7.69/mo less
If they had just lowered the money factor, your price would have gone down by $23/mo.
