Deal Check: 2025 Mercedes GLE450e

Live in Michigan and worked up the following deal with a dealer in the Chicago area. What do we think?

Model: 2025 GLE450e
MRSP: $80,XXX
Terms: 24mo 12k
Payment: $810 a month w/6% tax
DAS: $1500 including first payment

I qualify for pretty much every incentive such as reignite and Sam’s club/AAA. Is this a good deal or should I keep searching?

How much are you getting off the car pre-incentive? and what’s the money factor. It’s not bad at first glance

Sale price pre-incentive is 72k so comes out to 11ish% off pre-incentive. Not sure what the money factor is but I can find out.

Sale price post incentive is $61,990 plus my $3,000 reignite bonus so brings it down to $58,990.

New unit? You’re getting a great deal but the MF is probably juiced a bit. Any dealer add ons or fees?

Technically a demo but only has 150 miles on it so I’m considering it as new. No dealer add ons or fee’s I’m aware of.

Can you post your best effort at a LH Calculator? Since you are a super supporter w/ access to RateFinder you can then identify if the mf is marked up or not.

This is what I am coming up with when I enter all details into the calculator. Is it worth fighting to get to this lower payment that I am coming up with via calculator?

Based on my calculations, it looks like they may have marked up the MF to 0.00219. Any tips on how to go about getting them to lower the MF?

Pretty good deal. I leased a 2024 in February of 2024 , 15,000yr/24 month lease, and I received 10 percent off with no incentives. Some 2024 GLE models have a notoriously noisy rear camera, so I would test drive your 2025 to ensure that this issue no longer exists. Two other issues the car has are noisy brakes and a rocking back motion when accelerating from a stop.

If you are set on this car and leasing it look into doing max MSDs to reduce your MF.

Getting into the weeds and going back and forth with the dealer about the MF is a huge waste of time.

Who cares if they have marked up the MF as long as the overall deal (payment & DAS) is strong and meets your target.
