QUESTIONS

  1. Is 8.3% off MSRP on a brand new 2025 C43 solid? If not, what should I expect?
  2. What MF & RV should I expect from Mercedes-Benz on this car?
  3. Any red-flags on upfront fees or other gotchas?

TIA for any insights!

Unless you are getting tax credits, leasing often doesn’t make sense in TX.

Thanks for the reply! Can you elaborate a bit more on why leasing often does not make sense in TX?

Without tax credits, you pay taxes on the selling price.

In no circumstance should a c43 be $991/mo. Dozen better cars available at that price.

OK I’ll pass on this and wait for a better deal. Thank you all for the comments!

Unless this TX dealer is giving tax credit (which I highly doubt); I’d expand search and gun for a E53 AMG at least a six cylinder or even a M850; one for the Texas Beamer brokers have them listed regularly
