Another C300 loaner offer

Ask the Hackrs

I proposed this to the dealer on the C300 loaner (their initial offer to me was $418/mo), and this offer was accepted (they said even a few dollars lower). Does this look about right? Has 9,700 miles on it so I tried to lower the sales price, but they said no go on that.

MSRP: $43,675
Sale Price: $32,900
RV: $24,875.80
Depreciation: $8,024.20
Estimated Acq/DMV/Doc Fees: ~$1,300
Estimated MF: 0.0007 (After 10 MSD + autopay)
Estimated Finance Charge: ~$1,500
Depreciation + Est. Fees + Est. Finance = $10,824.20
Monthly (36 mo.) = $300.67
Monthly + Tax (8.75%) = $326.98

Discount is OK. Combination of high miles and low MSRP means RV is reduced by 3%, so vehicle discount needs to be larger to accommodate for that. Do you have fleet or other savings to stack on top of their discount?

i thought MB took away auto-pay discount?

Yes, it’s gone…

No fleet or other incentives unfortunately - sole proprietorship business (& why I’m leasing).

MF must be without autopay then - dealer has avoided give me the full quote from his side, which makes me a little suspicious…

Is this in LA? I was going back and forth with them as well.

Sacramento actually - couple of other dealers offering about $350/mo for a similar model, this is the lowest yet.
