2018; is 0.00113 for January
2017; is 0.00104 for January assuming RWD for both.
On edmunds they said the base mf for 17 awd e300 was .0008
I think adding that extra zero for someone who seems to be new to the MF lingo may get confused. Base is 0.00080 it that makes it any simpler for a awd. Edit.
The key point here is that assuming you can negotiate a larger discount on a 2017 than a 2018, a 2017 will lease much less expensively due to similar RV, lower MF and lower price.

Does anyone know if you can stack Fleet with USAA rebates?
The sales price has to be at least 25% less than MSRP on these loaners. For example:
This is not difficult in NorCal at least.
Please help with the current deal I have been presented right now. I have been working on this deal for about 3 weeks and I haven’t gotten to where I think I can get. This is for a 3/36k lease.
2017 E 300 non-demo
MSRP 61635
Sales Price 51665
MF .00104
Doc fee 849
Acq fee $495
Residual 59%
No charge Maint package
$1865 up front covers 1st month/doc/ tag & title
$549/mo including taxes. (I can’t get this to come out on calculator)
Sales manager says they cannot combine with USAA or Fleet as this is an “employee deal”
The aqc fee is not $495
And a $895 doc fee that’s insane
Your not uploading the numbers correctly
Also is your sales price including fleet
Do you have a detailed lease worksheet
I don’t have a lease worksheet. Most of the discussion has been via phone/email. I can confirm the acquisition fee is $495, I’ve talked to a few dealers and in both situations where an “employee deal” was used the acquisition fee was $495 instead of the normal $795.
This iteration of the deal really was just a shell game as my last deal offer was essentially the same net money but they dropped the MF from a marked up .00144 to the base and said hey I can save you another $50/mo.
I feel like this is about $2000-$3000 away from a good deal.
Is there any reason a dealer in NorCal is charging me a $1,095 acquisition fee on a E Class loaner?
That’s something we see here in South FL AKA the bad lease market: $1095 acq fee + $599 dealer fee from MB dealers.
If your dealer doesn’t budge on lowering the acq fee maybe look for loaners in Socal dealers
It’s everywhere, not just NorCal.
When does Mercedes’ lease support end for 2017 models?
Just got this deal emailed to me today, Nor-Cal dealer.

Any good?
You need to provide us with the MSRP, Sale Price, and Money factor being used for us to help you.
Without knowing the original MSRP, the sale price looks decent, but nothing else does. $4000 due at signing is intended to cover what?
Sorry I’m new to the game.

MF: Calculated myself to be .004 (could be wrong sorry)
It looks like the top part is for a purchase of the car;
What you really need is a breakdown from the dealer $4000 due at signing and the terms of the lease (specifically). We can try to back calculate it, but I think we are missing some info. If you’re in NorCal, then tax is on the monthly payment not a separate line item paid upfront.
@Merc - if this is the one in Marin, try the one pay option on 24 months if you can afford the chunk up front. You can also open up a credit card which allows you 12 months to repay without interest. They quoted me $8.5K for one pay 24 months.
If not, ask them to put security deposits down to lower your money factor. That should lower your payments $30-$40 per month. And whether or not you do one pay, look at 24 month option
