I live in NJ and I am currently looking for a new car to lease. I own a Audi SQ5 but want another daily driver. 2016 MBenz E350 4Matic is what I really like. I have look into leasing options but want to make sure I get the best “bang for my buck” in terms of lease options.
Just curious of what the % off MSRP I should be around, residual, and money factor. And if there are any known dealerships that have worked with the suggested number.
I don’t have the residual and mf which I feel like are the harder things to attain so the four admins will probably give you those. But for the % off msrp a simple search on true car or Edmunds would give you an honest answer on how much the car can be discounted before incentives. As for finding incentives truecar and Edmunds usually have most listed but by the looks of the deals this site has some incentives can also be hidden or hard to find out about.
My parents have been leasing E-Classes since 2012, and discounts off MSRP have always been heavy. We’ve been getting 15-18% off MSRP from dealers (Southern California) without any in-person negotiation. Chicago might be slightly more but not too far off.
In the case of Mercedes, I’ve found that internet sales departments provide even lower quotes by email than on sites like TrueCar or Edmunds Price Promise.
I too am in SoCal and am interested in an E-class or perhaps SUV. Would you kindly provide me with the dealer and name of agent so that I too can score a good deal?
