50k msrp

Mf .00186
rv 70%
WA state

first 14 months is 505 then remaining is 555.

is this a good deal for glc lease with premium and parking assist options? Thanks!
MF is marked up; base MF is .00166.

36/12 residual for the GLC is 60%, not 70%.

I don't understand how or why the payment increases after 14 months ... never seen that before in a lease.

Using $50K as the MSRP and $49K as the cap cost, I get $659/mo before tax using the base MF and 36/12 residual.

I'm not sure how the dealer is getting to $505 or $555

Michaell,

thanks for the info! Actually i am trading a car valued at 12.5k and have a pay off of 6k.

Ah, OK.

We don't recommend using trade equity to buy down the payment - if the car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.

Instead, have the dealer cut you a check for the equity, and use that money to help with the now higher payment.

I'm looking for a 2016 GLC 300 4Matic and was disappointed in the dealer lease offer. Can you tell me what numbers you have for:

MSRP: 53,220 + 925 destination
10k/36mo

Thanks!

.00166 and 61%

My GLK lease is ending on August 4, 2016 and my dealer in Arkansas says he can get me into a new MB lease now and Mercedes Financial will eat the remaining months on my lease and let me move into a new one.

I built a fully loaded GLC rwd with an MSRP of $53,805 that can be delivered in May. Dealer wont budge from their initial offer of $1600 contribution.

Tells me that the money factor and residuals change every month and that for March they are RV 58% and MF .00266 for a 24 month 15k/yr lease term. This seems like a really low RV and a really high MF. Also says that I have to order the car and pay $1000 down to get the factory to build it and then once it gets here I will know the terms under which I will pay for the car I've already committed to buy!

Payment with the dealer contribution, my $1000 down and additional $2000 at delivery is $987 (includes Arkansas monthly sales tax). This just sounds insane. Are the RV and MF they are offering correct? What should I tell them?

I agree with the residual but the MF is marked way up. Base MF this month is .00166. The GLC is really popular so I can't say I'm surprised by the lack of discounting on them.

That said, $1K for a $54K SUV is a crazy high payment. You might want to cross shop some of the competition to see if there is anything else out there you like, or try a couple of other MB dealers to see if you can get a better MF and/or more discount from sticker.

I even think the base money factor is too high. Taking into consideration no significant discounts and the money factor, one may be paying a high monthly number for this vehicle. That being said, one should check with different dealers as sometimes there is a vehicle they want to move and a good deal can occur.

I suppose the base MF is set based on popularity - should the 'early adopters' get the GLC and sales start to slow, you may see a reduction in the MF in future months.

I am hoping the deal gets better during the winter event. That being said I have seen MB recent winter events where there was limited winter cash and only certain vehicle in the program. I also need to see the money factor improved as the residuals are not as great as they used to be.

Time will tell. New vehicles rarely get great lease programs to begin with. It's possible that we'll see better numbers later in the year.

I was offered the following GLC with Premium one package, blind spot and panoramic roof.

650/ month for 12K/year. Total selling price: 46000 (forgot the exact amount).
0 down payment. Taxes included as I am in NJ.

Is it a good price?

36/12 numbers on the GLC are .00166 and 60%.

Would need to know the MSRP; is the $46K number the selling price or the adjusted cap cost after fees and taxes have been added in?

I get $576/mo with those prices. MF could be be marked up or the cap cost is higher than what you think.

deuter2319 · April 2016

thanks for the help. Is $576 dealer cost without profit or should I actually be paying closer to that amount ?

What should the residual value be on 36/12 and 36/10 ?

$576 is the payment we calculated using the prices you provided. The way to make the payment lower is to negotiate a better selling price.

36/10 residual is 61%; 36/12 is 60%

Dear Michaell
It was a great learning curve seeing all the posts by you. I am in market to lease new GLC, premium one with Blind spot, panaromic sunroof, lightening package. MSRP was 49, dealership offered me 45415 with acq fee of 795 ( that seemed high to me), cash cap reduction ( I don't know what is that) of 3792, LEV of 58%, 180000 miles 36months. I am also giving 5000 down. They offered me 603$, which seemed high to me. Also MF of 0.00196%. Sale tax in my county is 7.5%.
Can you help me please

The base MF is .00166, so that is being marked up on you.

Acquisition fee is $795; surprised the dealer didn't mark that up on you as well - it's common.

Cash cap reduction is the same as a down payment, and it is not something we recommend for a lease. If the car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.

Using the MSRP and selling prices you've provided, I get $595/mo before tax. This is with $0 down.

Now, the 18,000 miles a year you want means the residual amount will be adjusted by .15-.25 per mile

Residual percentage is always applied to the full MSRP

.00166 MF and 60% residual.

Need to ask for the adjusted CAP cost.

$1000 upfront for three services... Need to find out what those services entail, and how much they cost, to know if it's worth paying upfront.

Is it possible to assume selling price is the base cap?
I've been told dealer acquisition fees is $1070!!! Does it help? this seems high!

Adjusted cap is selling price plus any taxes or fees you aren't paying up front.

Base acquisition fee is $795, so that is marked up.

That's certainly possible, but it's hard to predict what the marketing and finance folks will do.

.00166 is the base rate. These are popular.

We've heard from other members that MSD can be used to lower the MF.

Check with your dealer.

safa_tx · April 2016

My dealer gives me 0.00237 MF which is much higher than 0.00166.
Is this something negotiable?

It is something the dealer can mark up. You politely but firmly explain to the dealer that you won't sign a deal with an inflated MF.

Hello;

Yesterday I got this offer from my dealer for 36 month lease with 12000 miles for GLC300 RWD:
the car sticker price was $447xx and they gave $47xx discount which makes car price to be $40000. the cap cost comes to be $40795 and taxes and registration are about $2800 (I am in Texas and have to pay taxes for the whole car price!!)
I agreed to put $2500 down payment and they offered me $530 per month everything included.

Is it a decent deal?

Are you paying the taxes and registration up front, in addition to the $2500 down payment?

.00166 and 60% for 36/12. Using your MSRP and cap cost, I get $500/mo. There is about a $1000 difference ($30/mo x 36 months) - I would confirm the cap cost and the how the $2500 due at signing is being used.
