There are so many better cars you can get for 1200 a month and as a bonus they won’t look like a jellybean.

That’s not how leases work. The MSRP is only one component of the lease equation.
Different vehicles with the same approximate MSRP can lease for vastly different numbers,even if you get the same dealer discount off MSRP. You’ll need to educate yourself on all of the components of a lease.
MSRP, rebates, dealer discount, Money factors, Residual Values … are all part of the lease equation. It’s not like a traditional finance where x amount financed = x payment.
The GLC will be a “pay to play” vehicle.

Why are you still soliciting and posting garbage quotes when you were given a link to the Marketplace

How do they get to 72k? You rolling in negative equity?
I do not have negative equity. I checked the buyout price and the current market value of my trade in. It’s only 1k positive equity, however I do not think it’s fair that they inflated the price an extra 11k. The car dealership is not losing money.
You blocked it out so hard to follow. Why are you even involving your trade. Make it a separate transaction (unless you’re in a state with tax savings)

Ok so get a price quote first then mention I have a trade in? I am in state. But checking surrounding states to shop the best deal.
People keep trying to help, but you have to be willing to listen and put in the work.

I appreciate everyone’s help.
The price quote I posted a photo is from a Mercedes in PA. It is prior to my first post on this forum. It seemed very high and unreasonable. Then I decided to ask for advice on here.

Why are you even involving your trade? Sell it to someone else. Take a step back and read leasing 101 before you proceed any further.

Ok thank you for your advice!
The information below the “adjusted price,” are you blocking that out or is that how the dealer presented it to you?
Your current vehicle’s “buyout price” is a known number, then you go on to say you know the “current market value” of your trade. Where did you arrive at that figure? Is the dealer in PA giving you “current market value” of your trade?

There is a difference of $6385 between the trade allowance and the trade difference.
No they are not giving me the KBB market value price. I looked that up to see the market value to see if I had negative equity. Dealership kept saying I had $7k of negative equity. My trade in is a 2025 that I leased and had only for a month with 1,500 mileage and mint condition. So I suppose they won’t make any money off it bc the customer buyout price is full price msrp. However I don’t think it’s fair I take a hit of 11k.
Can dealerships buy the lease for a little above wholesale so they can resell for profit?? Or do dealerships have to pay customer buy out price?
KBB is garbage and has very little to do with actual market value.

I also looked up what my car sells for on third party sites and it’s above the buyout price.
