That’s a great discount off list on a new 2018. But with those figures, I am getting low 300s a month on leasehacker calculator . What are they charging for money factor, acquisition fee and doc fee?

Something doesn’t add up please post the mf and if you can the full break down.

4

without the return of my old lease just the monthly payments tax included it would be $338. I was told security deposit drops to $4k and the MF is 00124

Thats a Great Discount on a 2018!
But the payment is wayyy off. Must be what you owe on your old lease and why is the Drive off 2500!?

I have gotten new 2017 C300s to just 18.8% off so this is pretty good

Given the cost of exiting the Kia lease as part of the MB deal, why not just exit privately?

That’s a great deal! Any chance you could PM me the saleperson info? My friend is looking for a 2017 or 2018 C300 as well, but with a few extra features (Nav + Keyless entry/start + Panoramic sun roof). She’s in LA so this would be perfect. Thanks!

I decided to go this route instead. I will be returning the Kia separately.

Thanks for the details @xio. What did your breakdown come out to without the Kia included in the mix?

Thanks again @xio for the info! Called him and he quoted about 18% discount as well. I’m not sure if the #s add up. The leasehackr calculator doesn’t work for me when I’m at work. He quoted me:

~$44k msrp
~$36k sales price
36 month/12k miles
60% residual
MF 0.00124 (I’m not sure if that’s before or after the MSDs + autopay)
MSDs = $4500
$2500 drive offs (first months payment + fees)
Tax rate is 8.75% (Socal)

Monthly payments are $356/month. I have no idea if that calculates out correctly. Thoughts?

Using the LH calculator, I get about those numbers with 0 drive off. What is included in the 2500 drive off other than 1st month?

12

Thanks! I’m actually not sure what the breakdown is for the 2500.

Deleted- thank you, all.

Great deal and great discount on MSRP though I would tell them to shove the “capital cost reduction” aka down payment.
