The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 C300 Sedan are .00113 and 70%.
I haven't seen the 27-month residual values, but they are probably 2% to 3% lower than the 24-month resids.
Mercedes-Benz has $2,000 dealer cash certificates out there on '13 C Sedans right now. The trick is to make sure the dealer uses one on your deal and actually lowers your vehicle's price by that amount.

If you provide me with the MSRP and dealer invoice price of the car that you want, as you want it equipped, I would be happy to work up a sample lease payment on it for you. You can find that pricing data in the New Vehicle Pricing section of this site.

Can you work up a reasonable lease price for a C250 coupe for 36 mos; 10,000 miles. The MSRP is 37.800 + 6800 in options for a total MSRP of $45,505. I have Tier 1 credit and leasing in NJ. I am considering signing the for the car today, but I am having reservations as to whether I'm getting an OK deal. I would really appreciate your help in making sure I am getting a decent deal.
Thanks again,
Frank
Do you have the June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 C250 Sport Sedan with 10,000 miles per year?
Can you work up a good price for what I'm looking at? The MSRP is $42,375 for the options I am looking at. I have Tire 1 credit and am considering leasing in MD or VA.
Thanks so much for all of your help!
$415 mo and $2300 down 48 months

On another deal, my brother just bought a $40,900 MSRP C250 from a local dealer here at the end of April for $35000 even plus sales tax.
I had 2 dealers here confirm that there are incentives on C-class and that allotments of newly arriving CLA's are dependant on selling C-classes.
It appears that MB is putting pressure on dealers to thin the inventory and also helping them with lease support and discounts.

I am considering to lease c250 sport sedan with 7500 miles /year for 27 months. What is the residual value of this car and the money factor? Tier 2 credit , negotiated price of $38,000
These. cars are very fun to drive. 10k miles is only 1% residual impact. Maybe 120-130 dollars a year more. Also get the services/maintenance agreement for $619 bucks, since it is residualized it will only cost your $192 over the cost of the 2 year lease.
Good luck on your purchase.
They are giving me $4200 discount on MSRP
Since I am new to this, can you please elaborate on " 10000 miles has 1% residual impact"?
I am trying to calculate the lease amount myself and figure out the difference from their quote.
27 months
10K or 20k annual mi
MF about .00124
Residual 69-70%
Service contract at $619 residualized adds $11-15 per month
Demand 6k off msrp. It's easy to get 15% off msrp right now.
1% residual impacts payments about $12-15 per month.

I have start looking for a C300 and need help in finding out the best price ti offer to the dealer.
The MSRP is 45K ( They didn't disclose the invoice) Where should I start and how much max should I go? Appreciate your help.
Less than this, just walk they will call you back.
Thanks for the response, I have been traveling for work and hadn't had time to check back in on the forum. The numbers I got from the link you recommended are:
MSRP - $37,725
Invoice- $35,149
I think we would want to do a 12k mile 36 month lease
Thanks for the help,
JLHouston
Some advice... Don't focus on invoice price right now. With the deep incentives to move out C-Classes ahead of the CLA introduction, you can easily get 15% off MSRP. I just helped 3 people in my family get this done. Talk to the Internet Sales Mgr for your dealership and you will get it done fast.
Also price out a 27 month lease. Don't think in terms of how long you want the car, but play the finance game instead. You will be able to almost lease 2 cars one after the other for the price of a long term lease on one vehicle.
Run the numbers on lease calculator, and you will see what I'm talking about.
-ValleyGuy
I was thinking of this as my new strategy based on the comments I have read. Luckily in Houston we have a couple large MB dealers and should be able to get competitive quotes like you said about 15% below MSRP. I liked the CLA when I saw it but at a steal of a deal like you can now get with the C250 I think that we will move on this within the next 2 weeks.
Thanks for the help,

I am looking at Mercedes Benz C300 with Leather + Navigation + 18 inch wheels + Rear Camera + Wood Finish + 30,000 Miles maintenance Package. The MSRP of the car is USD 49,600
Lease Sign and Drive for 470$
Lease Term 27 Months
15,000 Miles
Residual Value is 68%
Please advise.
Thanks in Advance.
Mercedes is not providing any lease support on this model right now, so if you want to lease one you will have to use its standard lease program. the money factors for which vary by credit tier, .00205 for Tier 1. Slightly better than that for FCA tier and worse for other tiers.

Is this good deal?

Please help quickly!
.
* Purchase price
* Money factor amount for your deal
* Model - I'm assuming C250
Residual is fixed by MBFS and not negotiable.
MF is negotiable down to the base money factor offed my MBFS for the month.
The purchase price or negotiated discount is the other area impacting your payments. This car last month was routinely discounted down 15+% from MSRP.

Anyone know the MF and residual value of C250 or c300 4matic? Looking for a 27 month lease with about 7500 miles or 10000 miles. Thanks
Here is my question.
1. Is Residual value of Car based on MSRP or Selling Price?
2. Info on Deal
MSRP - 43,700
SP - 37130
MF - .00103
Residual is 68% (30,xxx)
27 Months - 438$
Miles 15,000
Let me know if this is a good deal.
Thanks in Advance.
What is the drive-off $$. How much upfront. The facts you provided on MF, RV, and Sales prices are as deep as you can get.
Smart on your part getting service included!!! Most people fail to realize MB pays for 68% of all your maintenance costs on a lease like this.
The monthly is great depending on drive-off $$$.
-ValleyGuy
"Most people fail to realize MB pays for 68% of all your maintenance costs on a lease like this". I didn't understand 68%. I was in an impression that 30,000 miles service includes all the recommended maintenance.
There is a deposition fee of $595. Any chance on getting this waived affront?
Thanks Valleyguy.
These maintenance plans are already discounted, and since MBFS residualizes them on leases makes this a no brainer.
If your drive-off $$ is limited to only your first payment... than you got a great deal.
The disposition fee covers the costs of filing the paperwork with your state to change title, plus some other process work. MBFS waves this fee if you re-up on a new lease. MBFS will also offer you an early buy-out as well around 3-6 months before the lease expires.
-ValleyGuy
Is this a good deal? Minneapolis/ST Paul area MB dealership is offering 12% off + $2000 on either a buy or a lease C2013 C300 4matic ?
I thought folks were mostly shooting for 15% off +$3500 dealer cash that's available? Could someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, what's the MF and Residual for a 27 month/36 month lease with about 10,000 miles/yearly?
Thanks,
The Belly !
But 15% + 3500$ doesn't practically make sense. Let's say if the MSRP of the car is $41,000. MF is .00103 and residual is 71%. 10,000 miles you are looking at $2000 out of pocket and 155 per month.
Ask them the MF and Residual value / percentage. Also check the car make sure its not a demo or used Car. To the best of my knowledge the Once a car crosses 5000 miles it is considered as used not demo.
2013 C300 4matic and premium package 1 - They have several models on the lot to choose from)
MSRP - $42,750
Selling price - $34500 (12% off MSRP +$2100 + $1000 from American Express)
Term - 27 months / 7500 miles per year (This will mainly be a winter vehicle)
Residual - 76%
MF - 0.00103
Dealer Documentation Fee is $75 + tax/title and other general fees. Should I pay the tax /title and additional dealer fees upfront ? Or have them add it to the lease? Putting these numbers in a lease calculator gives me a monthly payment of around $150. Am I missing something ? Please help !
Thanks,
I am not sure what you are including in your calculation, but $150 does not seem plausible, especially with nothing down.
Using your numbers and given an estimated dealer fee of $500, acquisition fee of $795, tax/title $250, and other fees $85. If you pay the first month payment out of pocket, you are at $244 before tax (to add tax just multiply 244 x 1.XX <-- your areas tax rate) Let us know how it goes, or if you want to give me more accurate fee numbers I can help you get a better idea of payment
Also can you confirm that residual, it seems really high, if that is true 12k mi should be 74% which would be awesome!
What is the American Express $1000 for?
You can buy a $1000 off MB certificate from American Express if you happen to have 100,000 miles. Mercedes Benz of Maplewood is advertising 12% off +$2000 off any in stock 2013 C Class.. I negotiated it down to 12% +$2100 off.
I seem to be receiving conflicting information regarding the MF and Residual. Either for 27 months or 36 months ( with 7500 miles ). Do we know what the real number is?
MN caps the dealer fee to $85. So I will have to pay the tax, title, License and acquisition fee up front. $1,575 Due at Signing (includes all taxes and fees!!)
thanks,
JL
Take the MF rate and multiply it by 2400 to get the actual interest rate.
Ex: .00105 x 2400 = 2.52%
Likewise 2.47% / 2400 = .00103mf
