Hello Hackrs, I just received this ‘final’ quote from a dealer in TX (Texas) for a 2018 E300 Demo with 6900 miles: MSRP - $60,765 Selling Price - $52,000 Residual - $35,221.75 (adjusted due to miles) MF - 0.00056 (0.00126 reduced after 10 MSDs - $7,000) Acquisition - $1095 License/Reg/Fee - $…

idk about texas but here in socal thats way too much. also im pretty sure people get that same selling price of that msrp on a new model. also idk your final price but i divided out of 15000 for a 3 year lease and that just a bit over 400. check out what other people have gotten on here then decide …

When I leased my 2016 E350 in Sep.2016 they discounted it from almost 67K to 46K. It had 5,500 miles. My monthly payment is $416. MD is a full tax state and I got no tax rebate

Your quote is a 14.5% discount from MSRP. From 1 email exchange, I was able to get 18% discounts from MB McKinney and Park place Grapevine for $60k loaners. MB plano & park place Dallas ignored my email as soon as I mentioned 20%+ discount and didn’t replied on my follow up email lol. 18% discounts…

You got a bad deal. Last month i negotiated this car https://www.mbofcaldwell.com/used/Mercedes-Benz/2018-Mercedes-Benz-E-Class-ddc051a90a0e0a170f89275bd060a3a4.htm (has the same miles and MSRP that you have) to 48k or 47k. Before adding any MSD’s, i got the monthly lease for $490 or 480 i guess.

They’re using the sales tax credit to minimise the discount on the MSRP. For a demo sedan should be closer to 25% discount which would get you into the 4xx’s p/m.

Not enough discount, especially with those kind of miles. I bet an aggressive dealer could offer a new one for less, especially after you account for the residual ding on this one.

Thanks all, this is bad deal. Maybe I am in an affluent area where people just buy it off at the first quote? I was expecting to take little bit of a hit because of TX sales tax, but I was able to talk to them about tax credit. Even then, it’s not even comparable, at all! @armen212 Yeah exactly, I …

I think you are right and the market has changed. Last year I asked the same dealer about a similar deal for my son in law. The best he could offer was mid 600s for E300. Aso I got E350 which was being replaced that year with E300s

Just FYI, I did not go through with this deal. Better wait for a good deal, I am in no hurry. If anyone knows a reliable broker in Texas (TX), please let me know. Thanks!

I was being offered a $67.5k MSRP E300 loaner for $581/month with MSDs in Mid July but did not go through with it (signed up for Penfed and waiting for 2 months to complete and the end of the year deals):
