Thanks!
Cap Cost is 43,000
Residual is 70%
Term is 27mo w/ 12k miles per year.
Zero Down
They are asking 684/mo
What incentives do they currently have to bring down the cap cost?
We currently lease a 2009 C300 equipped the same with a cap cost of 45,795 w/ 15k per year over 39 mo. MB provided a 7909 Cap Reduction. Payments 578 per mo.
There is a big difference here.... I am confused.
Can you provide the November MF and residual for the '11 C300 Sport 4Matic with 12K miles for 27 and 36 months? Thanks.
Mercedes-Benz Financial's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2011 C300 Sport 4Matic with 12,000 miles per year are .00114 and 60%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00114 and 59%.

An editorial in Automotive News mentioned M-B was offering a $300/month lease on the C-class. They didn't specify which year or the terms, though.
Base models start at $33.9k or so, is that figure possible with current incentives?
I'm assuming a 39-month lease on a base model, 10k miles/year, would be most likely to reach that number, is that payment realistic or would it have to be with a huge down payment?
Here are the numbers:
MSRP 39805
Selling price 37916(USAA price for invoice+500)
Cap cost reduction in the form of USAA$1500 incentive
MF 0.00116(had to fight for this)
residual for 27month lease 68%(using 24mo numbers)
all taxes and fees upfront
They quoted my 460-something a month. I'm calculating 420/month. I thought they mistakenly gave me the 24month lease numbers instead, which is 463, but they insist that they are not.
What am I missing here?
Anyways, after the $1500 USAA cash back incentive to bring down the cap cost. The 27mo lease with 0.00116 MF and 68% residual came to about $417/month with taxes+fees upfront. Waiting for the car to be transported from port.
It probably is on the invoice, so no, you are not being taken.

Looked at a 2011 C300 with prem 1, Nav + 4, wood trim, metallic paint, auto, MSRP 40,680. I wanted 0 down, 36months 15k miles.
Dealer has offered 550/month incl tax, etc, 36months for 12k miles. Is this a good deal? I wanted 15k miles for under 500 incl tax.
I didnt get into the specifics about residual value and money factor.
Looking at a 2011 C300 4matic sport sedan in NJ. 27 month lease with 12,000 miles. I am looking to put no money down, and only put down the 1st month and typically signing allotment. The additional items I put into the vehicle are:
- 4matic AWD
- Premium 1 package
- Multimedia package
- Panoramic Roof
- Rear Spoiler
- Heated Seats
- Iridium Silver Paint
Total MSRP was approximately $45,820.
I dealer originally offered it for $1700 at siging (including first month) and $589 a month. Went back and forth and checked out other dealerships and am now at $1500 at signing and $550 a month. Is this a good deal? I put alot of extras into the car, so I'm not sure if I can get much lower. What do you think>?
It is a very helpful tool if used in concert with all of the other great info in this forum.
Good luck

I've been reviewing the forum posts and the money factor seems high...I found the following numbers from last month:

Does anyone have this month's money factor?
Thank you.
Do you have the December 2010 residual and MF for a 2011 C300 lease for 24months (not 27), 12k miles per year?
Thank you.

This is not intended to be advertising or spam, as I'm not making any profit from doing this.
There is a, very reliable, leasing broker in my area in NYC that has a special on the C300 (2011 MY). 27 months pre-paid lease, $250+tax per month + bank and DMV. 7,500 miles a year.
Message me if interested.

If they are still offering the 27 month lease special - this price seems high. Got my C300 in December.
Selling Price: 41,600
Out of pocket: 2K (includes everything and first month)
415 per month including tax

Thoughts?
Everthing rolled in//Pay only 1st month and registration at signing.

Thanks
Catch is I only need a 12 month 12K miles.
What should I be paying compared to MSRP?
Thanks in advance
It's difficult to say what Mercedes' program will be like on this car several months from now, but I can tell you that this isn't a model that Mercedes typically provides lease support on.

I haven't seen what this car's 12 month numbers are. I assume that the money factor would be the same for a 12 month lease, but I don't know what the residual value would be.
If I was in the market for this car right now in an area that has a decent level of competition, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 to $1,000 over dealer invoice.

MSRP 42,200-ish
with my USAA discount they are currently offering:
$37,655 price
$3,500 down payment
$406 per month payment including taxes
33 mo lease with 10,000 mile allowance
I will also be trading in my 2006 GLI which should provide me with about $2000 towards down payment and offset the taxes a little more.
The sales person is starting to piss us off because of how indirect he answers questions. We haven't negotiated very hard (he had above printed before we arrived today to show my wife the car). Hold him a 100 times we aren't buying today and still got the same old "what do we have to do to get you in a car today" speech. In talking to him, seems like they might even be willing to throw in maintenance for 3 years for free too.
Is that a great deal. I've asked 5 times over last 3 weeks for money factor and still don't have it... that's the indirect crap that's making me mad, he just acts like it isn't relevant and MB standard, then moves on.
Better rates, more off car? what should I go for? When do I know I've squeezed out as much as I can?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I want this car and not sure I can keep my wife interested much longer. Not that I would swindle her, we make decisions together and my MB sales guys are kinda screwing with that.
'11 C300W4 White msrp 42,505
P1 package 1995
lux package 410
heated seats 750
lighting package 985

Am thinking of making a move on it but was curious about the different money factors from dealer to dealer.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year are 2% higher.
