Hi guys, first post here. My current lease is ending in March and was looking to lease a loaner c300. It seems that it’s too early for 2019 c300 loaners to be available while the 2018 c300 loaners are starting to dry up. How long does it usually take for loaners to start popping up for new models? …

DAS = due at signing If your car is due in March then it makes no sense to get one now and pay for 2 cars and insurance for two cars. I don’t know what you’re currently leasing, but many companies let you lease extend for a few months if you need to. Historically speaking March has been good for g…

Hmm makes sense… I was thinking of returning the car early in a couple months while making the full lease payments since I have a really cheap car but it really would be a bad financial decision haha For the second part, I feel really stupid, but need to clarify some few things. March/April good fo…

Mercedes has pull ahead which is why he’s thinking of changing cars. We just put 2019 c300 into loaner status and should be out in a few months. They can be in there for a while tho

hi, i pay 184 a month and due date is 2/27 so I guess it would have been more appropriate to say my lease ends in end of feb. I thought maybe getting a 2018 model before it runs out might be more prudent with the couple grands of saving than waiting for a 2019 :confused: I have no idea what the 2018…

so you’re talking about losing 2 payments, I think that’s ok if you can find a really good deal on a loaner towards end of Dec.

[image] Calvin.MB: They can be in there for a while tho hi Calvin, does that mean the loaner will not be available for a lease until maybe around Q3 2019? also, I don’t currently own any Mercedes so that wouldn’t apply to me :frowning:

[image] 305Hackr: Historically speaking March has been good for getting previous model year MB deals as it’s towards the end of when MB allows you to lease those i’ll have to see if it’s worth it or not i guess :slight_smile: can you clarify what that above quote means? does it mean that in M…

here’s how I look at it, 2 payments for you is $368. Divide that by a 36 mo lease, you’re looking at approx $10/mo cost to get out end of Dec. So if you get a C300 loaner for $330/mo or $340/mo who cares, might as well get out now and not gamble on available stock. Also that puts your lease end for…

People have posted good deals in the past around the Feb-March timeframe but as always it’s going to depend on how competitive your local market is. If your local dealer sells new cars at sticker and demos at 8% off, it’s not going to be a great deal

Ask the Hackrs

you could also do a 24 mo on a 2018 and then upgrade

I honestly would let the deal dictate it. I don’t know exactly where you live, your skills at getting hackr deals etc. If you can negotiate something that’s impossible to pass up, then make your decision at that point.
