24 and 36 month with 10k miles
C250 details:
Premium package
Multimedia package
(No other options included)
MSRP: $44830. He is offering residual 71% and 0.00199 Money factor (I thought the MF was little high) The car has 60 miles on it but the dealer says it is brand new and not a demo model.
Negotiated selling price: $37202
Bank fee added by dealer: $1095
On 24 months lease with 15k miles he offered payment $445 with tax.
Can you please advise me if this is a good deal? I was hoping that the payment would be under $400 with the negotiated price.
However, your monthly payment amount of $445 doesn't add up. It should be well under $400 with that MSRP, selling price, residual factor, and MF, assuming sales tax of 10%
Also bank fee or acquisition fee mentioned to me before the paperwork was $ 795 and suddenly after negotiating the price it increased to $ 1095!
Also bank fee or acquisition fee mentioned to me before the paperwork was $ 795 and suddenly after negotiating the selling price it increased to $ 1095!
Is the bank fee included when calculating the finance fees using the MF?
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are .00160 and 65%.

2 year lease
Total out of pocket $2000 (including all fees)
Payment $299/month including tax
I'm in Los Angeles, California
Acquisition fee was listed as $1095 on the contract. I got this car from Santa Monica WI Simonson Mercedes, but even my last car 2008 ML350 Edition 10 was also same $1095 fee at MB of Encino.
My other option that I had negotiated a few weeks prior at another dealer was for a White/Red C250 with AMG wheels, Becker NAV, and Rear Spoiler.
That was also $2k out of pocket with $330/mo including tax, but did not include maintenance. With maintenance, they wanted $340/mo including tax. I walked away because they wouldn't include the maintenance in the $330/mo price.
I am looking to lease the 2013 C300
And I am getting quotes for 350-400 a month including tax and 1600 down for fee plates and first month
Any idea how I can lower this
Here's what i'm looking at leasing:
C350W $41,400
040 Black
121 Black MB Tex
320 320 Multimedia Package: 7.0" Color Displ $2,790
736 Black Ash Wood Trim
786 18-Inch AMG Twin 5-Spoke Alloy Wheel $1,040
917 PZEV-Emission, USA
SUBTOTAL $45,230
DESTINATION & DELIVERY $905
TOTAL $46,135
I'm looking at a 36 month lease and I am going to put down $3k. I've been quoted $427 plus tax = $461 total monthly for 10k miles per year or $477 total (including tax) monthly for 12k miles/yr which seems like a no brainer for the extra $16/month. He told me there are no other costs or fees. Is that true and if so is this a good deal or should I push a little more?
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

Can you please tell me what is the Mercedes-Benz Financial January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the 2013 C250 Sport Sedan?
The best I have so far is 72.95% & .00150 for 24 months at 10,000 miles per year on this:
MSRP: $47,135 (Sport Pkg, Lighting Pkg, P1, MM, Keyless-Go)

$2400 drive away
(includes maintenance & 1st month)
I need to get this at no more than $400/mo, $2k down, with 12000 miles per year.
Located in Los Angeles and this is the second C250 I'll be leasing. Tuesday the 29th is the desired signing date so any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Mercedes-Benz Financial's January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 C250 Sport Sedan with 10,000 miles per year are .00120 and 72% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
As you can see, if your credit is in good shape the dealer is likely marking your car's money factor up slightly to add additional hidden profit to your deal. See if you can get them to use the buy rate to calculate your payment.
It would be a good idea for you to find out this car's selling price as well. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is more difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given and in turn if there's any more room to negotiate.

Thank you very much for the buy rate information. I see how they have pushed up the money factor.
Would you please post the same info for 7k & 12k miles please?
The selling price is listed at $40,176.90 (MSRP: $47,135). There is a $297.16 cash cap reduction, and total insurance of $785. Then I've got a T-1pay fee-prod(w) of $1,201.35 and T-1pay Annual Fees of $361.
Thanks!

Edit: Also, the LEV Amt is $34,382.88
The selling price that you were quoted on this car looks good.

My friend just passed this deal up for a 2013 Audi A4 Premium Plus with Navigation. I told him he was nuts! The C300 4-matic has an MSRP of $43,780 with Premium 1 package, Becker Map Pilot, Rear deck Spolier, Burl Walnut Wood Trim. Selling Price with the Winter Event $2,000 rebate was $37,327. The lease was for 24 months, 12,000 miles per year, money factor of .00077 with auto pay and residual of 72%. The Audi was a year longer lease, $139 more per month and another $650 out of pocket. Is it just me or did he make a dumb move... Here are the details of the lease below...

Thanks,
The monthly rates of $468 and $479 includes tax.
Does it seem like a good deal?
I came across this forum on a Google search, and it seems incredibly helpful - thanks for all that you do for the average consumer (like myself)! I am going to be leasing a 2013 C350 4MATIC Coupe in the next few weeks (when it arrives at the dealer after having been factory built), and I was hoping you could let me know what I'm up against.
I live in NJ, with a sales tax of 7%. My credit is fair (the score itself is good, but my history is only a few years long), and I am going to be putting down around $2k. My annual mileage will be only around 5000, and I am willing to go with whichever duration would bring the price lowest (seems to be 24 mo, but again, I'm flexible). Given this information, can you tell me what my monthly payment would roughly come out to? The MSRP of my build is $53,985; I've been working with the dealer for some time, and I feel as though I should be able to get the price down a bit. If you could tell me what to shoot for and what to expect, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for all your help.
When you have a moment could you please post the February residual value & money factor for the 2013 C250 Sport Sedan in a 24 month lease with 10,000 miles per year.
I missed out on the January deals and have to figure out something for February.
Thanks!

I was wondering what the lease numbers are for a 2013 C63 sedan with 10k miles and 36 months (or if there is a better config right now).
Thanks!
JB
The certificate allowance on '13 C-Class Sedans was reduced to $1,000 in February.

Having said that $5,500 is way too much money to pay at lease signing. I assume that a decent chunk of that money is a capitalized cost reduction. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, it's much safer to go with a zero down lease.
Also, make sure that the dealer uses Mercedes-Benz Financial's buy rate of .00113 to calculate your payment.

On an unsupported vehicle like this, a 36-month lease will likely result in a lower monthly payment than a 24-month term would.
This car's lease payment will vary depending upon what sort of selling price you negotiate. For now I will assume a $3,000 discount. Let me know if you want me to use a different price.
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2013 C350 4Matic Coupe that has an MSRP of $53,985 and a selling price of $50,985 through Mercedes-Benz Financial right now for 36-months with 7,500 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $632.

That is a pretty substantial drop from January. Is there a better lease term for the 2013 C250 Sport Sedan mf @ .00124 and residual @ 60% than 24-months?
Thanks!
-Anocer
Thanks for the information; this will definitely be very useful when going to my dealer in a few weeks! I will keep all this information in mind; I didn't even realize 7,500 miles per year was an option - the website only lets me go down to 10,000 lowest. Can I also get the residual and/or money factor that you used for these calculations as well so that I can talk about these with the dealer when I go? Thanks again for everything!
Thanks!
JB
Was hoping you could provide me with MB Financials February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 2013 C250 Sport Sedan with Multimedia & Premium package for 15,000 miles per year at 36 and 48 months?
Thanks- it is very much appreciated

Have just joined but appreciated your insight and knowledge for quite some time. Am thinking about leasing a c63 2013. Wanted to check in on current buy rate moneyfactor as well as residual for February. What do you think regarding discount off of MSRP? I have read of some pretty significant discounts (in the 10% range)... Also any thoughts on seasonality insofar a it relates to lease deals? Is now the best time or is early spring perhaps better? Thanks in advance for the info.

I believe that I used a money factor of .00205 and a residual value of 66% in my calculations.

I honestly am not that familiar with C63 pricing. I know that dealers have plenty of C's in general, but I'm not sure about the supply of the 63.
The program that's available on this car is not that great right now, so it wouldn't hurt to wait.

The MSRP was $45,770 (Sport, P1, Multimedia, and Trunk Lid Spoiler). I live in MD so we have to pay tax on the whole vehicle even it is a lease (which is absurd!) so my leases are always more expensive.
With that said, I was able to get a 27 month lease, 15k miles/yr, $399/mo, $1800 out of pocket (including all MD taxes, tags, and fees).
Not only that, I was returning a 2010 C300 and the dealer waived the $595 Lease-End fee, 2 payments, didnt charge me for a cracked windshield, and also didnt charge me for a blown tire (the tire popped on the way there so I turned it in with the compact spare tire on).
This deal was much cheaper than what I was paying for my 2010 and that one had no options in it.
I was expecting to pay a lott more!
