Mercedes Benz E300 - Lease

I am as well, please forward me any info if you have it. Looking to deal with a socal dealership.

Hello All

My friend who pointed me to this forum will get a beer from me … I’m blown away all the great info.
I’m in Tri-state are and looking to lease E300.
Based on some of the posts above, it seems people are not getting slick deals any more. Is it true or just lack of effort / negotiation skills.

I’m planning to pick one up this month … is it better to wait for July 4th … will there be better deals.

Any leads on good sources.

the smart money is saying June 30th will be better for deals than July 4th…

Thank you so much vhooloo.
i’m fairly new to leasing. I always got good deals buying cars. I went to 2 dealers and had the above numbers back of my mind as a baseline.
They sounded that if they give more than 5% off msrp, they would have to close shop and can’t pack for lights. That can’t be the case since many of you guys got good deals.

are there any easy to work with dealerships in tri-state area.

Thank you so much.

Try Ft Washington PA and Chery Hill NJ for starters.

Here are the lease factors of national offer for E300 in June 2017

Mercedes-Benz / 2017 / E-Class / E300 / 2017-06 Deal

MSRP $ 53,075.00
Down payment $ 3,499.00
Selling price $ 51,641.00
Acquisition fee $ 795.00
Residual value $31,845.00 (60%)
Mileage 10,000.00 Miles
Money factor 0.00117
Lease term 36 Months
Monthly payment $ 569.00 (without tax)

Since these are factors for national offer, this selling price is the bottom line.
You should negotiate more than 2.7% of the selling price discount.
In addition, try to get the same money factor and residual value.

thank you so much. isnt the RV 59% for 10k in june. is 60% above a typo

Can someone please look over these numbers for Washington state for E300 4matic

MSRP: 63,190.00
Term: 36 months
Miles: 10K
Monthly payment: $598.69 (includes 10.3% tax)
The residual is 59% ($37,432.10) and MF is .00142.

$7,500 down including first month payment + $150 doc + $780 licensing + remainder is cap cost reduction

Looks like a bad deal to me.

Not a good deal. What is the selling price so people can comment on the discount? It looks like the MF is marked up. Once you get base MF, use your money on max MSD’s instead of down payment.

@Grandmaster
MSRP: $63,190.00
Price (Cap cost): $58,190.00
Sales Tax (estimate): $5,993.57
Tag/Registration Fees: $780.00
Documentation Fee: $150.00
Balance Due: $65,113.57

What state are you in? Why are they charging you sales tax?

@Jon I am in Washington state.

You need to get a breakdown showing everything. Is the acq fee rolled into that cap cost?

Even without the breakdown, your deal is terrible. You should be putting max towards MSDs and nothing as a down payment. The MF seems to be marked up as well.

This is what their break down page shows me- What else do I need to ask them for, just acquisition fee?

Change the cap cost to MSD’s.

So aside from putting MSDs instead of regular cash down payment, it looks good?

Check out this thread as well. I think your deal payment is wayyyy too high!!!

you also have an inflated MF

If your in PA and looking for deal shoot me pm I’ll send you my sales guy contact info.

Aim for 14% off msrp.

Always do 10 msd with auto pay and never roll fee.

Pay tax and all that stuff upfront.
