We'd consider anything from a 36-48 month lease.

Please advise if this is a decent deal or not:
Vehicle Price - $46,970.00
Preferred Customer Discount - $3070.00
Conquest Discount - $1000.00 (Currently have a Lexus IS)
Selling Price $42,900.00
Tax $1600.88 (asked for tax credit and they gave it to me)
Total Deal after tax/title/tags etc. - $44,875.96
Cash Due @ Signing $860.00
39 Months @ 15,000 miles = $626.00 per month payment
Residual = 56%
.00159 = money factor
Since there is a mini redesign coming out in June/July shouldn't I be able to do better on the lease payment/deal?
Did I also read that the seats are not real leather?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Having said that, the money factor that you were quoted is too high. Mercedes-Benz Financial's current buy rate for a 39 month lease of this car is only .00109 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. There's a good chance that the dealer is marking up your car's money factor to make some back-end profit on your deal to make up for the aggressive selling price that they are offering you.

I was wondering what the proper lease rate/money factor is for a 2011 Mercedes C-300 Sport, with P1 package, technology package, AMG wheels, deck spoiler, roof spoiler and burl wood, with 15000 miles on a 33 month lease. Sticker is $46,335. I'm getting $2000 lease loyalty as a current MB lessee. I'm being quoted $532 a month, with $1,624 in start ups, out the door.
Is this a good deal?
any more questions, please ask!
If you still want to lease, get the payment from $532 to about $470, that is about $3000 off the MSRP, Mercedes has a lot more room than most manufactuers. ($20 every $1000 lease, $30 every $1000 purchase typically a month) .
Also, if you would like, I can send you a picture of my son's E Class up on blocks after someone stole his wheels and tires. A set of wheel locks would have prevented that and saved a lot of hassle. For less than $100.
If the miles per year were 10K instead of 15K in the example above, would the money factor change significantly or just the residual?
Thanks in advance.
The money factor is not dependent upon usage and so it's not impacted at all. Only the residual is impacted and is adjusted to reflect annual usage that is different than the standard annual mileage usage established by your fund provider.

He has it for $375/month for another 2 years with 17k miles left on the lease. MSRP was $43,765, residual is $31k or so.
I'm wondering if this is a really solid deal based on others experiences. From what I can see online, it seems to be but I want to be sure as I've never leased before, but really like the car. I think the residual is likely a bit high, and I would quite likely be interested in buying at the end of the lease, so have some concern there. Friend is relocating internationally for work so this is why he's letting it go.

assuming excellant credit
Thanks for your help
Is the below a good deal for a C300 Sport, no options except wood trim?
MSRP - 37060
Purchase - 33000
Lease payment - 349
Lease Residual - 23347
Money Factor - 0.00109
Miles allowance per year - 12,000
Down Payment - 3700
No annual maint. included.
Thanks - LM
436 for 33 months with 1700 cash out the door.
So yours is 21/month more or 693 for navigation.....what state/dealership are you working with? I wonder if it is worth it to try to get Nav added...
Mercedes-Benz Financial's April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 C350 Sedan with 10,000 miles per year are .00193 and 58%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2011 E350 Sedan are .00240 and 60%.
I'm not positive, but these models might qualify for MB Financial's "Value Added" program. If so, then the aforementioned numbers should be good for 39 month leases as well.

The only thing that I would change about this deal is the large down payment. I always advise consumers to put as little money down as possible when leasing. Consumers who make large down payments on leases risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

I am looking to do a lease deal today or tomorrow. I was previously negotiating one for April but all of the dealers that I was negotiating with had run out of conquest cash and it made the payment bump up.
The car I am trying to get:
2011 C-Class Sport Version
Black, Palladium or White Exterior
Black MB Tex Interior
Premium Package
Multimedia Package
Keyless Go
Maybe some other options as well.
15k/year; 33 month lease
So, my questions now are:
What is the money factor and residual for May?
Is the conquest cash program still going? I currently have a Porsche. Last month it was an additional $2,000 off.
Any other kickback/incentives I should know of?
Thanks!

Do you think the price will drop some more this month?
My current lease is expiring so I need to get a new car asap and I think he senses the desperation.
In case you're wondering why my quotes are so high, it's because I'm in Canada.
Please, any advice is appreciated!

For a for a C300 4matic sports, P1, Multimedia, backup camera, Panoramic, and a few extra options, the MSRP is coming out to be around $47K. I don’t have any quotes yet, but assume the 2011s will sell for about $3k less plus take off another $2k for Conquest so a net of $42k. If this August goes anything like what I read from the forum, the price could be reduced by $10k (I’ll assume there won’t be a Conquest offer at that time).
So August most likely will be cheaper and thus a lower capitalized cost, but what I don’t know is if the residual value will drop drastically when August comes around. If it does, then there is little value in waiting as the payments may end up being the same.
Can anyone share any past experiences to help me decide if it’s worth the gamble to go for it now vs. wait? Thanks.
ps, I know the newly redesigned 2012 comes out in August, but am thinking it would be too expensive for me as a $47K car most likely would only be discounted by $2k or so.
Thanks
The numbers for an otherwise identical 30 month lease are .00109 and 65%.
I believe that these numbers can be used for 27 and 33 month leases through MB's "Value Added" program.
The residual values for leases with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% lower.

My first question would be if the c class will change for 2012?
If the answer is no, then Im in South florida in Miami, im looking to lease a c300 sport with amg wheels, spoiler and dont really care about any other options, maybe panoramic sunroof and key less entry. I want to lease it for 33 or 36 months with 15K a year with about $500.00 out of pocket at singning.
I was given a quote of about $510 a month, It seemed a little high. (this was for a white one with the wheels and the spoiler, thats it)
Please if you know anyone who can give me a good deal on this car let me know.
Thanks
