2017 Mercedes c43 amg demo

Ask the Hackrs

Hi Hackers,

I found a few leftover 2017 c43 amg sedans. They appear to be demos as they have around 5k miles on them. That said they are loaded to the hilt so the MSRP is over 70K. Any thoughts on the level of discount that could be expected? I am about to return a 2015 C300 but don’t see anything about loyalty rebates on Mercedes. Also, may have United premier as an option if Mercedes is still running those programs.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that the 2017 models are still leasable? I heard that lease support for all 2017’s stopped when March ended

I thought April was the last month for support but if it was March then this is all moot.

There is still lease support for 2017 models from Mercedes in April.

At least for the C class anyway.

Thanks for the clarification.

Any Florida brokers that could advise on this? I am considering farming this out but never used a broker before - always been a diy guy but not sure if I have the time this go-round.

are you sure? cause i spoke to one of the dealer in texas and they ended in march and no long available in apr

According to recent edmunds posts, 2017s are still available for lease.

If they are in fact still leasing out 17s, search the forum, there have been other c43 demo deals One poster got 21% off on his demo, the flipside was the MF and acquisition fee were marked up. With a $70k sticker, my guess is you will still land in the low $700s or high $600s.

I had seen some c300s at 25% off msrp but this may be aggressive. With 25% base money factor and 10msds I was in the low $400s on a 36/12 / 59% residual.

Even without that level of discount it may be worth a shot. The problem is there are so few 2017s left it will be hard to work a multiple dealers off each other.

Please let me know your feedback on this 36/12 deal on this 2018 [mod edit]

MSRP – $70,650
Discount - $8979 + $2500 USAA
Discounted Price – $59,172
Tag – $291.50
Dealer/Doc Fee – $699
Acquisition Fee – $1095
Residual – 58%
Money Factor – .00121
Payment - $670 with 7% tax inc.

Considering MSDs as well. Also, I am not in a rush as my current MB lease is not up until June 1st not sure that things will be any better in May.

Thanks in advance!

Monthly payment? 2020202020

Acquisition fee should be $795.

15

Yep, I see they are inflating the acquisition fee. That said, I would rather they take profit there rather than in the discount. Going to pay acquisition up front/not including in financed amount.

16

This is probably in FL where they never heard of an acquisition fee that is not $1095

You are correct sir.

You should definitely do MSD. Wiping off .00070 from that MF yields a very healthy ROI
