I wish I found this website 1.5 years ago. I purchased a 2014 e350 sport for 28k+taxes… only had 24k miles. Now i am at about 34k miles. Had to go thru insurance because damn city towed my car incorrectly and busted the tie rods and steering column (6k repair). Anyway, I just feel knowing this happened, I probably don’t want to hold onto the car much longer. I am afraid this greatly depreciates my car value though since I went with a local german auto mechanic who only does 99% Benz.
Definitely wouldn’t mind upgrading to something like this and selling the car. Any thoughts? Original MSRP of my car was 65k. Now worth I think about 25k (without any carfax issues).
The 2017s are pretty much done being leased out, but I can certainly help you on a 2018. Right now, they aren’t as attractive, but I’m sure they’ll get better.
Question re: fleet. Does PenFed stack w/ regular fleet? My wife has fleet through her employer. Do I gain anything above that if I were to join PenFed? I’m a few months away from the end of my lease, and just can’t figure out if PenFed is standard fleet, or richer than / stackable with her fleet.
Hi! I have one question as well: Current fleet says $2500 incentives toward 2017 e300 but all the dealers say it is essentially just $500 extra incentive. Is that true?
What are the MFs you guys are using to get these deals? Spoke to 3 dealers, no one can come close to these numbers on '17 loaners w/similar MSRPs, even with MSD’s and similar discounts off MSRP.
