Deal Check - Is Mercedes crazy? 2023 Mercedes C43 AMG

APR is worse, 8.59% making it $1570/mo

You could try a credit union.

So refinance it? This is pretty unequivocally a horrendous car to lease based on the above figures

1 SL and 1 EQS please

Or consider leasing the EQC43 amg instead.

Mercedes are getting crazy with their asks for C class. When I was shopping for a c63 back in 2018, they were asking for 1100-1200 per month and offered me a c43 for 7xx. I thought they were crazy back then. Now they want 17xx ?! If you like the car and have the money, go for it! But for that payment, you can get much better cars.

The OP is just going around and asking dealers how much they want him to pay (on a new bodystyle model no less) so it’s not surprising at all that the quotes are outrageous.

Add to that that he’s shopping a 36 month term which as noted has never been great on a C43 vs. 42/48 months so it makes something bad even worse.

OP really needs to just stop soliciting quotes and do some basic research and play around with the calculator with varying terms to put together a target deal at base MF, no markups, etc. to see what a best case scenario lease will look like.

Would you want to own a C43 out of warranty? :eyes:

For 56K, if it’s the car I had to have I’d be financing it and throw an extended warranty on it.

One other thought if you have $4000 as a down payment. You can put it into MSD reducing MF and you get the money back at the end of the lease.

They lease is still bad on those

This amg is real, hand built engine.

But this cost is insane. Give it year it will get back down.

At that cost you can get a full cla45s amg for about 900 a month.

Yeah i got my 2020 c43 sedan for 695 a month, all in in 2020.

Hey wait a minute. The rv im seeing is 61%, just had someone post their deal on mbworld as 61% rv for 36/10

Interesting. Thought it was only the amg 63s that were hand built

The new c43 is handbuilt. Other cars like the cla45s is also handbuilt. The cla45s from 2019 onward even got its own new amg factory just to hand build the amg 4 cyl engines. Comes with signature of technician on engine.

Unless this poster is talking about the coupe which is the old c43 that is not hand built.
