Im about to negotiate on a new CLS. The MSRP is 92535 and I have already negotiated down to 88800.
Anybody know the 36 and 48 month residuals for 10K per month and MF for 2017 CLS550 in April?
Also, this MSD hack is fascinating…I had no idea you could do that.
.00098 MF & 52% Residual for 36 months; which are not very good lease numbers. 48 month lease numbers are awful, stick with 36. Next year is a redesign for the CLS just as an FYI. 4k off MSRP is not good. You should be shooting for at least 10% off MSRP. '17 CLS is very outdated compared to the competition, dealers should be more than inclined to get them off the lot ASAP before the new design is revealed.
MSRP 92,535
Selling: 88,800 ($4k off which is approx 4% off)
RV 52% 48,113
Depreciation: 40,687 / 36 = $1,130/month + interest + tax (and also fees)
At 10% off
MSRP 92,535
Selling: 83,281
RV 52% 48,113
Depreciation: 36,169 / 36 = $977/month + interest + tax (and also fees)
At 20% off
MSRP 92,535
Selling: 74,028 ($9,253)
RV 52% 48,113
Depreciation: 25,915 / 36 = $720/month + interest + tax (and also fees)
Yeah, this is going to be rough no matter what happens
Ugh. 52%, thats horrible. Like Chevy horrible.
I already agreed to the price (six months ago when I ordered it), so I doubt they’ll give me much there. Argh.
Maybe I can get them to move on the MF. I was hoping to hold this to under $1000 a month. That’s not looking likely without a big downstroke.
Ah well. Thanks for the data. I really appreciate it.
Did you put anything down when you ordered the car?
No, nothing down. I’ve been buying from the dealership for over 15 years. I have a good relationship with them. But I am a little miffed at how long it took to get this car. I ordered in late October, with a January delivery. And it got delayed and delayed again.
I love the CLS, and think its a great car. Its the last of the V8 cruisers for MB. With the E-class now going to 4-cyl, the premium cars will have the new I6.
Def. A great car for sure! I would probably use a excuse (such as I had this come up or that come up since I was supposed to buy in Jan.) And since its also a custom car, they are likely to work with you on pricing plus tell them it was delayed.
I’d pass or get the new E43. Redesign CLS isn’t far off from debuting.
I remember last years cls400 deals were amazing, wait a few more months then see what you can do
