You’re not going to get a good lease on a CLA. This is C300 payment territory
Thank you Boardwalk NJ, and Batistuta.
The dealership gave me a new option if I added more MSD.
1st Month Payment 348
Security Deposit $2,800
Fees & insurance 415.50
Upfront Taxes 170.26
Cap Reduction (Cash) 2,365.89
Total Inception fees 6,100.00
Total Cash Required on Delivery 6,100.00
Then after some more manipulation of numbers, I was given this… I don’t know if the cap reduction change was meant to be for a vehicle trade in (Sorry for my rookie approach)
What’s your trade in? Is it really worth $1000?
The discount is still missing on the sheet.
I think this is what they are giving you if I did the reverse calculation correct.
Your MF should be 0.00088 if this car is FWD. Your RV should be 58% for 12k and there is $500 lease support.
Compare your deal with what others posted in the forum. I would lease a C300 or 330i with RWD if I were you.
The calculator below is for the advertised deal on MBUSA com
Why are they charging you a 799 service fee? I thought this was an autonation dealership? Is it a broker?
Thank you again @Batistuta
I am still a bit confused. So should I ask them to offer the price based on the leasehackr calculation with the advertised deal from MBUSA.com?
Is the ad for the MBUSA ad for 2020 or 2019?
I tried negotiating the 2020 330i with BMW and did not even come close, thus had to settle with the CLA as the next best option
But that also doesnt mean they don’t exist. Lol. If you look hard enough, you can always find a dealer or broker that will beat a deal.
@dratini, thanks. I have texted him and waiting for a response. I wonder if he services south Florida though… I also see from his ad’s that his deals are mostly for 10k miles.
Reach out to @Bacons_C.C for FL BMW deals and @mani_is_kool for MB deals. Omega is in CA so it won’t be helpful for you.
You can ignore the MBUSA calculator I posted. I just posted that for reference, don’t ask the dealer to match it, it’s not a good deal anyway.
@Batistuta, thanks. I will reach out to them.
One final question about this deal.
With reference to the numbers provided, in your opinion what will be the best numbers to ask the dealer to match for this to be a good deal?
I am expecting their call tomorrow…
What’s the car you are trading in? I have a feeling that they are lowballing you.
A 2007 Honda Accord. But I have decided to sell it myself. I have a couple of people offering a lot more.

Great decision.
Offer them only first month DAS, $420 per month and see if they take it. This car is too new and don’'t lease well, I doubt they will take it.
