2025 GLC 350e Demo Lease — $399/mo, 24 mo, $4,812 DAS — Good Deal?

Hi all, I’m evaluating a lease offer on a lightly demo’d GLC 350e and would love your feedback. This is my first time leasing. Details below:

Vehicle & Location
Model: 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC (PHEV). It is the standard basic model
Location: Car is in New York but I live in New Jersey
Demo Mileage: 3,500 miles

MSRP & Incentives
MSRP (incl. destination): $61,400
“Lease Cash” Rebate: $11,500 (EV incentive + fleet + MB brand)

Drive Terms
Term: 24 months
Mileage Allowance: 10,000 mi/year (20,000 mi total)

Payments & Upfront
Monthly: $399
Due at Signing: $4,812.29
Includes first month, acquisition fee, doc fee, registration/title, all sales tax and and effective cap-cost down of around $2,390.

Does $399/mo + $4,812 DAS for a 24 mo demo lease on a GLC 350e sound good or bad? Would you push for any additional discounts or have any advise?

I really appreciate your help!

How much are they taking off the car? On a 65k loaner with 3k miles I was at 400/mo with 2.5k DAS and this was when the rebate was 7.5k.

Click on Marketplace I bet you can beat this

What’s the dealer discount before incentives? You missed the most important info in the mini essay.

There is no dealer discount before incentives.

MSRP (incl. destination): $61,400 ($59,900 listed price + $350 Nappa look dashboard + $1,150 destination fee)

Rebate: $11,500 (EV incentive + fleet + MB brand, I don’t have the exact figures for each yet)

Thanks, already checked and didn’t find options available right now

There is no dealer discount.

Rebates applied are $11,500, including the EV incentive.

BAD
Walk away and find another… You should be below $300/mo with $3K DAS

Thanks for the feedback. How do you get to the number? Have you seen deals in that range?

Spend some more time searching this site… above :up_arrow: much better deal than yours

I’d ask them why theyre pricing a used loaner as a new car first. I doubt you’ll get a good deal at this dealer, best to go with another dealer or a broker. Aim for 10-15% off especially if it’s a loaner.

Thanks, very helpful! I just found about the community today, I’ll keep exploring

I was thinking the same thing. I looked it up and saw mixed reviews about whether it should be cheaper, so I wasn’t totally sure. I’ll bring it up to see if I can get a deal.

For about $15 TCO more per month than your “DEAL” you can get their GLE450e $74K MSRP

It’s a bigger difference since the taxes aren’t in the broker deal. I figure I’ll have to pay about $90 extra a month, not counting the broker’s fee, not bad though. I also checked out the GLC 350e base model, and the deal is around $15 cheaper, but it will cost more with the broker fee.

Once you adjust mileage, remove MSDs and add the tax rate the deal is within a total $743 of OPs deal. So they’re not really too far off from this broker offer but definitely should be getting a better discount on a loaner.

Broker deal becomes $12,477 plus $799 fee. OPs deal is $13,989.

OP if you can’t get to at least 13-16% pre incentive on a loaner I’d go with one of these broker offers on a new model.

I just ran an apples to apples comparison between the broker’s deal versus the Mercedes dealer on this 2025 GLC 350e base model. The numbers I got are as follows:

Broker total cost: $15,371 (including fee)

vs

Mercedes dealer total cost: $14,388

So, to get to the Mercedes dealer total cost, it looks like they’re kinda giving a discount on the price or the money factor, or maybe both. I still don’t have the lease worksheet, but I should get it soon.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks!

It should be $12,000 with fleet. They did not give it to you, apparently.

If you want to compare broker deals on a new one with a loaner dealer is giving you, below is what I just listed.

Exactly same MSRP unit but brand new with pickup in NY metro area.

Thank you, I’ll ask for it.
