The car is probably brand new? The less expensive cars you are seeing are loaner cars. At the end of the day they are paying under 1% of the msrp, which isn’t a bad thing.
I would still hold out until November or December. The deals will get better then.
For such a difference in payment I think it’s better to see if u can find a loaner because in a lease it really doesn’t matter if it’s new or a loaner cause the car will go back eventually anyways.
But overall yes if u look at the 1% it’s a good deal. I just think given the price the loaners go for, it would be more advantageous to wait or find one of those
If you can wait the Mercedes winter event that starts November and end January 2nd is by far the most agresssive especially on volume cars such as C & E classes.
