2 questions: 1. If I buy prepaid maintenance for the 2021 GLA250 will Mercedes increase the RV by 1%? I read that Mercedes and Audi do this to incentivize the purchase of prepaid maintenance. 2. Can I get a better deal using an independent auto lease agent rather than trying to negotiate with the dealer myself? Thanks!

Audi increases the RV by 1%; MB will sometimes add the cost of the maintenance program to the MSRP, which allows it to be residualized
You stated the November residual for 2021 GLA250 FWD was 61% for 7,500 miles/36 months. What would the residual be for 10K miles and 12K miles? My current lease ends on December 3. Will the MF and RV change for December and if so, when is the earliest Edmunds will have the December numbers? Is there any advantage to making a deal at the end of November instead of in December? Thanks!

Before I pull the trigger I would like to know if this is a good deal:
2021 GLA250 FWD For 36mon/7,500 miles in Los Angeles Msrp: $39,645 (incl. 1095 Dest/Del. Fee) Selling price: $35,995 Monthly payment: $427 incl tax MF=0.00105 RV=61% *Due at signing: $2,795 (Includes Dest/Del. Fee, first month's payment, and Lic, Reg and all other fees. 0 down payment) This amount seems about $700 too high to me! I think they added a mysterious fee that I'm not aware of! I have requested a break down of all the fees.

Thank you very much!
I confirm .00105 and 61%
I agree with the calculations.
First payment $795 acquisition fee (often marked up to $1095 by most dealers) DMV costs (roughly 1.1% of MSRP, or roughly $440) $85 doc fee in CA Some other, but small, gov't fees
I agree there is around $700 or so buried in there. Let us know what the dealer tells you.
In response to my above post, I got this from the dealer:
Drive Off Break Down: First Month’s Payment $427 License Fee $875 ACQ Fee (GAP) $1,095 DOC Fee $85 CA Tire Fee $7 AVRS $30 CAP REDUCTION TAX $5.70 UPFRONT TAXEX $109.15 The additional $160 is applied to reduce your cap cost.

Did CA overhaul their registration costs? That seems about twice as much as it used to be.
When I used the CA DMV calculator the total came to $515, not $875. I have sent an email to the dealer to explain. I also don't understand why the $160 to reduce my cap cost! Other than that, do you think this is a good deal?

Until we get some clarity on the issues, it's hard for us to say.
The $160 makes the total due from you a nice, round number.
Looking to build a GLA250 for delivery in February or March, and got the following message from my dealer. Is this legit? 3% is pretty severe.
"Starting February 2nd, 2021, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services will change 2021 GLA250 that have a MSRP of $48,200 or higher, they will receive a 3% reduction on the residual value. This change will also be implemented on A-Class all the way up to the GLC-Class."

It's possible. They just started putting an MRM on the E-Class, last month.

Using the selling price less the incentive, I get $394/mo
Ask the dealer for a breakdown of the $3000 DAS - if that doesn't cover all the taxes and fees, then it will be added back to the selling price.

The dealer said he capped bank fee and sales tax into the payment to match $3000 DAS.
The only way to know is to ask for the adjusted CAP cost, and see if it adds up.
