Hi Hackrs,

Location: Fremont, CA (94538 — 10.25% tax)

I came across this advertised lease deal from a broker and wanted to sanity-check with the community:

2025 Mercedes EQB 250+

  • $229/mo for 30 months

  • $3,500 DAS + Broker Fee

  • 7,500 miles/yr

  • MSRP: $57,000

  • Color: Night Black

  • Packages/Options: Driver Assistance Package, Surround View Camera

My actual preference:

  • Model/Trim: EQB 250+

  • Color: Polar White

  • Packages/Options: Driver Assistance Package, Surround View Camera, 3rd row seat

My questions:

  1. Dealers and brokers keep saying “no more EQBs”. What does that actually mean—allocation sold out, or lease support ended?

  2. Since 9/30/25 is the last date for the $7,500 federal EV lease credit, should I just grab what’s available now, or is it realistic to wait a few more weeks for my preferred spec (Polar White + 3rd row)? In the lease world, is it unrealistic to be picky?

  3. For NorCal, has anyone recently been able to get an EQB lease, or is this basically dried up already?

Appreciate any insight before I decide whether to wait or move forward.

Thanks!

  1. Mix of both, I don’t wanna sell these because pricing is not what it used to be.
  2. Look @ other options besides EQB w these specs. Third row is low low low inventory & unlikely to have a “deal” on it.
  3. There is inventory but not as incentivized - hard to get a “deal.”

The best offer I’ve found in Texas for the 2024 EQB is $400/month… I’d take it and if it’s under $250…
