I am looking at leasing a 2020 Mercedes E450 sedan loaner. I am a member of the AICPA, which says I get a $1250 discount on E classes. So, does the $1250 discount go under Taxed Incentives, Untaxed Incentives or just deduct the $1250 from the Selling Price? Thanks! Todd

Assuming being an AICPA member qualifies you for the fleet discount, then this would go under taxed incentives.

It’s usually a taxed incentive. Note that the AICPA incentive does not usually stack with any dealer incentives that may already be included in their advertised price.

Thanks all. I’ve used the AICPA incentive / discount on my last two MB Loaner leases. So I got a big Loaner-related discount off the price, and then was able to use the AICPA too. Don’t think there were any other incentives. Hoping to continue that trend. By the way, the AICPA discount off a 20…

[image] Todds911: $515 or so with PA 9% tax. MSRP is $69k ish. Sounds like a solid deal on surface for a 70k luxury mid sized sedan. FYI, there hasn’t been many E Class deals here and the A6 leases atrociously, so nice to see solid deal come up on anything other than a 530/540 BMW. I’m curi…

[image] Todds911: So that is my goal I would suggest basing your pricing targets on the current lease programs and reasonable pre-incentive discounts amounts rather that a monthly payment from several years ago. The programs from 2017 are irrelevant in 2021.
