Hey, just wanted to check if the following deal is worth falling for. I know it is not even remotely hacker-worthy, more so after considering that 2018 models are going to be in lots a few weeks from now for this model, but it is the best that anyone is offering here: (10K miles a year). The car does not come with navigation, and the dealer is ready to throw in a garmin map integration (I guess worth around $600 in retail value)

Does anyone have any idea if this is okay to go with (final lease price = 1% of MSRP)? Anything else on Mercedes that can be negotiated?

You should try and get at least .0027309 off for this to be a decent deal.

Ha ha. I am using my lease calculator and hence the abundance of numbers after the decimal

I wouldn’t pay that for a GLA.

5

Is $1694 really just the acq fee? If so, that’s really marked up.

6

Ursus, it is a GLA.

Jon, I think 1694 is 1095 acquisition fee plus 599 dealer handling

7

Is GLA a bad car, or is it something to do with regular discounts that this vehicle is advertised with?

8

It’s not bad I think, just payments should be lower. IMO

Just in case somebody is thinking of this and wants to know the final numbers, I finally took the plunge last week. The final deal for a $38040 car with all weather floor mats and navigation thrown in (a combined value of around $775) was $360 per month plus taxes with 0 down for a 10K/year lease lasting 36 months. Knowing that my state is a bad state to lease a car in and 2018 models are about to arrive (or maybe already arrived), people should be able to get a really sweet deal on the 2017 model ; just do not let me know to avoid me getting a heartburn :slight_smile:
