New account here but I’ve been lurking on here for 6 years since i signed my wrangler in 2020 and later my c43 in 2024. Y’all have really taught me a lot.
I just worked out an e-sign for a deal on a GLE 53 SUV!
$98,1xx MSRP
$852/mo + Tax = $917
24/7500
Could someone please tell me how this deal looks? I saw that it was better than most brokers I could find but i’m wondering if i left anything on the table. I didn’t ask them for MF or residual.
Fleet (sam’s) has been applied and tier 1 credit.
Plus I’m signing to use for my business so should get a bit of a tax write off there
what this doesnt cover:
The dealer is also taking my current lease (c43) off my hands. It has 3 payments left and 900 miles before i go over. ($599/mo incl. tax = $1,797) and a disposition fee (i think 595?), and they’re covering both.
Should i leave the car on the lot and finish the 900 miles and return the c43?
claude says the effective is 9.1 years ($967/mo effective) but idk how accurate that is. ai seems to work when it works but fails miserably when it doesn’t.

Your calculator screenshot is just telling us it’s $918/mo with $3889 DAS which isnt very helpful.
Post a link to your calculator which shows the entire deal, pre-incentive discount, incentives, MF, etc. Is this a '26 or '27?
Also you really need to clarify exactly what they’re doing with your C43, are they treating it as a trade (and rolling negative equity) or an early turn in or just cutting you a check back for your remaining payments?
Passes the smell test, you don’t need to put the $1,800 as down payment in the calculator, it’s part of the MBFS loyalty/pull ahead program. In reality you got more discount of the MSRP than what you set in the calculator.
So then it’s either a loaner with some miles on it, there’s a service contract buried in there, there’s some weird max residualized value conflict, or there is a misunderstanding as to what the msrp is.
My money rides on mileage. I have limited experience with loaners but close to 100% of the time, the actual mileage was substantially higher than what was in the worksheet.
