Lease Term: 36/39 months, 10,000 miles
MSRP: $75,010
Negotiated price: $63,861
Residual: $43,656
No trade-in, no cash downpayment. Massachusetts sales tax rate is 6.25%.
What is the applicable money factor at the moment? I have a stellar credit rating.
The preliminary quote that I received stated a base (pre-tax) monthly payment of $870, which seems high.
Also, any advice regarding inception fees that I should expect to have to pay? Are there any ballpark figures for these fees? The quote mentioned a document fee of $295, an acquisition fee of $1,095, "Fees and Ins (Upfront)" of $132.50, and "Upfront taxes" of $68.44.
Thanks.
The acquisition fee is marked up the maximum - it should be $795. Dealer can also mark up the MF for extra profit as well.
Lots of room to do better on this deal.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I went back to the dealer this evening and restarted negotiations for a lease (we discussed purchase options yesterday). Armed with your information, I was able to get what I felt was a much better deal.
The dealer acknowledged the 62% residual straight away, but baulked at the money factor, which I had simply quoted as 0.0018, assuming that I could get the best rate. He stated that that number applies to the E350, but certainly not the E400. After quite a bit of back and forth - during which it got slightly heated! - we arrived slightly under the lease price that I calculated using a MF of 0.0022 (the finance guy told me that the standard rate for the E400 was 0.0023 and he acknowledged that he had been marking up the money factor before he adjusted it down to that rate. Anyway, the final monthly price came to $781, which rose to $805 when I rolled in prepaid maintenance (discounted from ~$1,150 to $862).
I wasn't able to get him to budge on any of the fees, including the disposition fee or the acquisition fee of $1,095, which I was told was standard for that dealership. I paid the fees up front rather than rolling them into the cost of the lease, but could have gone either way. I'm sure that they made their profit, which I certainly don't resent, but I came away feeling that they wouldn't have closed the deal for much less.
Again, thank you for your help!
James.

What would the numbers be for a 2015 E350 4-Matic. 27 months/18k? .00059 for the MF and .00049 with autopay? Im thinking the residual is 61%? Im not sure, just guessing based on the 15k numbers.
Does MB have a 20k a year lease program, or is 18k the highest?
Thanks!
Actually, there is a 20K option available from MB ... the residual would be 58%. No 18K residual adjustments that I see, however.

I'm not sure -- that's really what I'm trying to figure out! Based on my calculations, the selling price is $55,0354, which is $4,181 below invoice. Seems too low to be true.

If you read back through the last page or two of this discussion, you should see what others have been able to negotiate as far as the selling price. Also, you can use the pricing tools at the top of the page (make / model / year) to help.

I have an question about msd's.
Say I want to put msds on a 15 e350 where the MF is .00057...
1. Can I put down msd's on a car with a promotional MF such as the e350, or would it have to be a standard mf?
2. If I can do msds on the e350, I'll hit 0.0000 before I use up all 10 deposits. What is the lowest I can go, 0.00007?
3. Lastly, do I start MSDS before or after using autopay? (0.00047). Are the MSDS combinable with autopay?
Thanks!
