I purchased the same car a month ago (MSRP $35305). Negotiated price was $29,900, MF 0.0025, $1900 Drive Out, 15k mile per yr, residual was 68% (I think), 27 months, Monthly payment $387 inc Tax.
There seems to be a lot of room for negotiation in the offer you received.
Mercedes-Benz of Larchmont, NY is offering a C280 4Matic with sunroof package, 6-disc CD for $298.00 per month for 27 months, $4393 due at signing. ($3300 capitalized cost, $298 1st month, $795 bank fee) + tax, tags, and MV fees extra. However only 7500 miles per year.
How does this deal sound? Should I try and negotiate for 10,000 miles? or lower cap cost?
Thanks
(P.S. I usually buy, this would be my first lease)
It seems strange that the IS250AWD, the A$ quattro, the 328XI all have pages and pages of pricing questions but the C2804matic has only 2 pages. Is the C280 that bad? It does seem like there is much interest in the car. I was thinking about leasing one (15K for 36 months in NY) but I am begining to wonder. Carman do you have any insights?
I already received the RV(54%) and tne money factor(.00105)from you. I read in Automotive News that they are giving dealers $2500 to $5000 back on the car. Have you heard anything?
I am interested in your comments.
Thanks
I'm looking for the following vehicle:
C280 4matic
Black metallic paint
MB Tex interior
Ipod Connector
Sunroof Package
6 disc changer
I was quoted the following today at MB in Ohio:
MSRP 38560
( I don't know what the price they decided upon for the actual cost)
$478.82 for 10k per year including ohio tax.
Zero down
$828.82 due at signing which includes a bank fee
What do you think? They've had a bad month in ohio with the snow so I think that their more aggressive with pricing.
Thanks carman
C-280 4-matic 3.0

Thanks!

Residual Value : 68%
Money Factor : 0.0021
Drive Off with DMV Fees, First Month Payment and all that stuff : $2,000

The only thing.... if you have tier 1 credit, you should be able to walk out of there with just the minimum fees... you know... the DMV license and registration.
I put 2Gs down and I think I could've avoided that.
By the way... I think you're paying way to much for this car. What are the terms?
I need help with the following lease offer from my local dealer. The negotiated sales price seems really good to me but the lease just doesn't make any sense. Dealer says it's because the new body styles are coming out. I have been considering a BMW 328i for about the same price and the lease is $200 less a month. Any ideas on what the deal is with this offer. I really wanted my lease payments to be around $550 - $600. This offer makes it more attractive to buy. Asking for advice... I can't find any information on the Mercedes lease rates or residuals on this vehicle anywhere on the internet.

I was told by a local dealer today that all the C230 lease incentives ended on July 5th. So, I was wondering if you could share the revised lease rates: 27 and 36 month MF and residuals.
Thank you!
As you all my know, July rates (since the 5th) have been REALLY bad. Hang in there and the new rates will come out soon.
I could post the current rates, but it is almost NOT worth it. They are just ridiculous.
Good luck
2007 C-350 7 speed auto RWD Silver/Black.
Lighting + sunroof + entertainment package + fog lamps.
BayArea dealer.
MSRP quoted is 44,885/-
Sale price quoted is 38,500/-
Does this sounds like a good price for a 2007 C-350 OR it is worth waiting for the 2008 C-350 model.
I kinda like the aerodynamic shape and lights of the old model but still confused between 2007 or 2008.
Please provide any expert advise. Thanks.
I agree to that, we worked some numbers and man were they poor! Esp considering the model has ended and dealers will have the 08 this month if not already showing up! They said they will have the 300 and 350 but next weekend. They did NOT mention anything though about new rates coming up and to try again on it.
So can you please post them as soon as you have them? I would really like to try again with these better rates coming out b/c the one I was looking at is closest to what I was hoping to find! It has everything I wanted minus the bi-xenon's
Now Mercedes says they will buy it back from me. I thought this was going to be great because I could go lease another C230 with a similar lease program and then have some money in my pocket. I was mistaken. Doesn't seem like there are any good deals right now. I'm not sure if I should get something else. If I am going to have to put a lot down on a car, I'd rather get a BMW and not have to do the service and it drives nicer in my opinion.
I know for a fact that they have changed.
Additionally, the 2008 models of E classes were supposed to be here already, but Merc is deliberately holding them back on the docks to make sure their remaining cars are sold first.
Can you please jump in on this one, if anyone has the skinny on these rates its you!!!
But seriously, rates please :confuse:
39 mos./7.5K miles/yr.
'07 C230/Black/Auto/6CD/Sunroof
$1,500 drive off and $370/mo. (incl. taxes)
Don't think I could have done much better with the MF still at .0345.
Bottomline: the good deal leases are gone at MBUSA. (But you can get a heck of a deal buying a new C-Class).
MSRP: $35,065
Your Cost: $30,218
Total Saving: $4847.00
27 month lease
12k miles per year
$3800. total drive off
$342.41 + $28.35 = $370.66 per month
Residual 68%
MF .415
MF is a killer. Almost 10% interest rate. Also that price is $800 higher than carsdirect.com. They must be crazy at MB.
It's a crazy discount but they say that they will stand by their offer. Edmunds cites a $4000 factory to dealer incentive and there's about a $3000 spread between MSRP and invoice. I'm sure there's some holdback, but I don't know where the rest of the money is coming from. I made it clear that I don't want any dealer-added garbage or fees and they claim to understand.
I'm picking the car up Saturday and will post the final results when I get home. They've got my deposit, so let's see what happens.

...............
Thanks for getting back with me. The best lease rates on this car are at 39 months. The residual is 61%. The money factor is .350 Please let me know of any further questions.
36 Months
12K Miles
61% Residual
.0029 MF (looks like they are dropping)
Ended up being $619/month with $1500 down. They bank charges an acquisition fee of $1095. I couldn't believe that so I just dropped the deal. $1095 into my 22K or so borrowed money is about a 4.9% FEE!
Just be patient.
J
MF 0.00335, Residual 71% for 12K, 27 months, Payment 742+tax, and
MF 0.00310, Residual 61% for 12K, 39 months, Payment $694+tax
The lease quotes included the following fee's:
$1195 Mercedes-Benz Financial Acquisition Fee
$599 Handling Fee
Hopefully MB will get more competitive for September. I being charged $200 - 300 more than the competition (BMW, Audi)for a $40,000 car would be a big deal for anybody in this price range.
0.00360 was the original MF at this time and 61% residual for a 39 month lease.
Placing an order does not commits you to buy the car, they told me it would take about 6 to 8 weeks for the car to be here since they did not have what I wanted. So if you like the car put an order (does requires a $2000 reimbursable good faith deposit) and you get the October MF.. so there you have it... now i did noticed they have sold everything at the MB dealership where I went to (Tyson' Corner, VA)
