  • Boltsfan, Go for it as long as you are still getting the P1 package. I saw you write P1 package in previous threads, but not this one. $500 out of pocket at lease signing is really good. $487 a month is not too bad. Good luck.
  • Boltsfan, what do you think? Read the other post in this thread. You don't want to pay anything per month that starts with a 5. You should be paying in the 400s for this car. $2100 is too high. It should be more like $1500. For the car you want at those lease terms, you should be in the $470s. You are about $100 too high…
  • arturob, yes, forget about these residuals and money factors and blah blah blah at this point. Look at the recent posts from people in this forum. The car is only worth what it will sell/lease for. The last few deals have been really good, even better than the one I got last month. Work off the deals that people got in…
  • cneff, that sounds like a nice deal. Good luck with the car if you go for it.
  • Hi, not sure if I am too late to weigh in, but I think your deal could be lower. A payment of $599 a month on top of a cap cost reduction of $2000 is not good at all. I know you said that you are putting $3500 down, but about $2000 of that money is just a cap cost reduction and the rest is the registration, bank fee, etc.…
  • Mandy, after all is said and done, the lease deal on the car is not terrible, although I would prefer to lose that $1,000 additional to the inception fee. Or get the payment down to the $520s. Try Erik at Paramus Mercedes. I think he can help the best. Hope it works out for you.
  • sdhlaw, Thats exactly what you have to tell them in your e-mail. I don't have time to play around and I want your best quote now. Be firm just like they are with you when you are in their dealership. Don't be scared to walk away because there are plenty other MB salesman who will sell the car.
  • Mandy, don't do it. Do NOT give $3,000 down. Don't prepay your lease. Take that $539 payment (does that included sales tax) and add $77 a month since you are prepaying $77 a month with your cap cost reduction. Does $616 a month sound like a good deal to you? I don't think so. And don't forget, you are still putting down…
  • boltsfan, I never did get quoted the residual or money factor because I didn't care. I was simply uninterested because I know I got a good car at a great price. The 5 month thing is legit. If you get a C300, you can turn it in 5 months early and avoid their "disposition" or "return fee" which is so totally BS. I would…
  • boltsfan, go and get other quotes from dealers in your area and tell them the quotes you are getting. Even if you do get a good price, they will say that the other dealership is lying to you and something is wrong. Tell them what you want to pay. DO NOT pay over $500 a month, especially on a car that has an MSRP under 40K.…
  • frank, the first night that I had the car, my tire pressure monitor let me know that something was wrong. I brought the car to Morristown for service and they said that they needed the car for 3 - 4 hours since it was busy that day. They gave me a loaner. They didn't even blink an eye to it. I wouldn't expect them to. I…
  • Do any current owners happen to know if the audio can completely be shut off? I don't know how to turn the radio/cd off. I push the big on button in the middle everything powers down and the navigation folds away. How do I just shut off the radio and leave the navigation on? Is muting it the only way? I had a CD playing…
  • frank, good luck with whatever you do. I hope that whatever I managed to take advantage of in February is still around in March. I recommend that you call Erik Laberge at Paramus MB and tell him what you want to pay and he will take care of you really well. I don't even want to mention my salesman's name at Flemington…
  • Frank, I got a 2009 C300 Luxury 4-Matic Sedan with P1, Multimedia Package, Panorama Sunroof, and Ipod Integration Kit. No extra charges for the paint or interior as I just got a basic black exterior with black MB Tex interior. When I e-mailed all the dealers, I just specified P1 and Multimedia Package. I had no idea I was…
  • frank, I don't prefer to negotiate in person anymore. I just basically configure the car that I want on-line through the website and then e-mail the dealerships the car that I want and its MSRP and the amount that I will pay for the car. Of course, I start drastically low and then they come up with a figure, and then I say…
  • mbshopper, you are not missing anything. I don't know about the residual or money factor. I concentrated on that for 2 months and was getting prices of $580 - $620 with $1900 - $2200 due for inception fees. I was there for the bottom line and told the dealers what I wanted to pay. That is the deal I got. How much money…
  • Hi, sorry for the delay. It was the multimedia package with the radio and bluetooth and all.
  • 39 months with 15,000 miles a year.
  • I live in Norther NJ. I talked to MB dealers all over the state though and even 2 in NY. I live closest to the MB dealer in Morristown and thats where I thought I was getting my car from today. It went horribly. I negotiated the following deal: C300 Luxury 4-Matic, P1, Navigation, black ext with MB Tex. 39 months, $1300…
