One Time Lease Payment

tzdivers · July 2015

Hi Everyone, Need some help! My current 2013 C250 is up. MB is offering 3 lease payments back if going to a new 2015 C300 lease. I am also considering buying my current 2013 as the dealer states they can get me the car for $23K and make it a certifies pre-owned. My buyout from MF is $29K. Current car has 27K miles and is sports package with Multimedia package... Nav and Sirius. Current deal with 36month and 12K miles is $14,000 on time payment. Here are specs...
C300W $38,400
149 Polar White
115 Silk Beige MB-Tex
H07 Linden Wood $325
R48 17-Inch Split 5-Spoke Alloy Wheel
068 Wheel Locking bolts $140
234 Blind Spot Assist $550
320 320 Multimedia Package: High-Resolution $2,690
5P8 Control code - scheduling & production i
536 SIRIUS Satellite Radio $460
677 Comfort Suspension
SUBTOTAL $42,565
DESTINATION & DELIVERY $925
TOTAL $43,490

So being a novice at this I need to know where I should be on the one-time lease payment and any comments on the price of buying out my own vehicle would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any advice on what a one-time payment lease for a 2015 C300 should cost?

It depends on many things:

MSRP
Negotiated selling price - and what fees and taxes you decide to add into the lease
Lease term and miles per year

Thanks Michael. What I can add is that the car MSRP is $43,490 and after the $$'s off from handing in the old MB it's sales price is $38,400. The term is 3 years and the miles is 12K per year. I have the dealership at $14K for the one time payment....plus I will get 3 month's back (about $1000) for getting me current lease back early. So the way i'm looking at it, which could very well be wrong, is I'm paying $388 per month for 3 years, 12,000 miles with no money down.

You do get a discount on the MF for a one-pay lease, but I don't know how much of a discount that is.

Let's look at this as a traditional lease first, leaving out the early termination of your existing lease and the one-pay discounts.

C300 lease numbers for 36/12 are .00118 (RWD) or .00119 (4Matic) and 61%. With your MSRP and selling price I get a pre-tax payment of $406/mo.

So, the equivalent of $388/mo seems right, before tax.

What would see to be the best deal on a monthly lease for 36 months and 12K miles?

That's highly dependent on the selling price you are able to negotiate.

Where are you seeing the selling price being negotiated down to? The car I have interest in is MSRP of $43,490 and the selling price is $38,400.

I don't track transaction prices; read the C-Class Lease Questions thread to see what others are able to negotiate.
