Wondering if this is a good deal or not.
2018 C300 Loaner
MSRP: $49,095
Selling price: $41,488
Zero down
36/10
8 MSDs
Monthly: before tax $386
Monthly after tax: $416
Leasehackr Score: 10.2
What do you think? Looking to pull the trigger today or tomorrow. Should i try to squeeze more out of the selling price? Salesman has repeatedly told me that he’s all in - but I’ve been quote at a steeper discount (percentage wise) on C300s.
It’s not bad…the average person IRL would jump on this deal. If you search the forum you’ll see better, though
How many miles are on it?
There might be another 1,000 - 1,500 of meat left on the bone.
There’s about 5,100 miles on the car
Are you in Socal? I can work something out for you. What color are you looking for?
I am, but I ended up working out a deal with the dealership I’m working with
Effective lease cost was $399/mo with zero down and just drives + MSDs for a 49095 MSRP C 300.
@Calvin.MB You will need to register as a dealer or broker on the forum
Did you see if you can qualify for fleet?
I’m not sure what I can do to qualify for fleet. My company doesn’t have any vehicles and it’s not large.
What are other methods of qualifying?
do a search, there’s a lot of discussion on this topic
Just got these two offers from a dealer on a vehicle with 3,500 miles. Both are for 36/10 in NYC:
Option 1:
Sales price: $38,750
Money factor: .00007 (After MSD’s)
Total monthly payment: $377.35
Security Deposit: $4500
Down money due at lease signing: $869.35
Acquisition fee, we capped into the cost so it is rolled into your monthly lease price…
Option 2:
Sales price: $38,750
Money factor: .00007
Total monthly payment: $346.94
Security Deposit: $4500
Down money due at lease signing: $1,833.94
I thought MSD’s are rounded to the next $50? So if payments are $400 and $350 respectively, shouldnt that be $4k and $3.5k? How are the they saying MSD’s are $4,500 in both options. The calculator shows $4500 for option 1, and $4000 in option two. What am I missing?
Also, am I calculating properly? I took the tax and added to the sales price and zeroed that tax. otherwise I can’t get the numbers to match.
That aside, are these good deals? Hoping to decide soon.
Thanks for the help!
Hi @Calvin.MB, I am from socal and looking for c300 (blk or wht). How can I reach you to inquire about the deals you have?
MBFS bases each security deposit on the pre-MSD amount. LHr’s calculation seems right.
So if the calc is saying that option 2 is $4k in MSD’s, how is the dealer getting $4.5k?
What do you think about the deals?
15% off a loaner isn’t that great. And with a MF that low, I’d roll everything into the monthly.
The tax is rolled in. So it’s about an 18% discount prior. Brought this deal to another dealer and he said he couldn’t come close.
So there’s that.
@Calvin.MB
