i’m looking to lease an EQB300 but cant tell if this is a good deal.
MSRP - 66425
sales price: 51,675
24months/10k per year
.0026 MF
57% Residual
10 MSDs
1095 acquisition fee
640 doc fees
monthly payment of 927
I think they marked up the MF and i’ve mentioned it to the sales person a number of times and he said the pricing sheet is just avg and would be adjusted based on Tier 1 score.
any thoughts
It isnt a good deal IMO, but on this particular model right now, getting what might be considered a “good deal” is very very difficult.
One should never talk numbers with a dealer without first knowing what they should be. If you find yourself with a dealer offer in hand, wondering if it’s a good deal, you have gotten way ahead of yourself.
i dont disagree, but there just havent been many comps on the site to compare to.
The MF and residual are not great right now for the EQB, but it does seem with a ~23% off the window, the sales prices is attractive
The best broker number i have seen is 13%, so if you need an additional 10% for it to make sense, theres no need to waste a moment talking to a dealer.
Let’s be real, who on earth would pay $927 for a EQB.
.0026 (MF) x 2,400 = 6.24%…
6.24% interest rate???
….
I can’t believe it either, but one of the dealers I am friendly with said they have been selling a bunch of them and people are paying this kind of money for them…
Yes, these type of money factors are sadly rather normal now.
Do you like you’ll like the car enough to justify $900/mo for 2 yrs?
Talk to @derekoh1991. A relative is in process of leasing with him and she’s considerably lower for eqb250. 3 year lease is cheaper than 2 on this one. Been easy to work with Derek.
No but the goal is to take advantage of the 7500 credit and ultimately buy the car
Why bother with msds then? Just lease it and buy out the lease.
Maybe a CC signing bonus? But yeah beyond that not much benefit.
She’s almost there!
Have you run this through the LH calculator? It looks almost like those are the numbers WITHOUT the $7500 EV incentive applied? I can’t make what you gave us here work without something else going on to get the monthly that high.
Oh my gosh, one of the most horrible deals posted to this forum! Run far, far away! You could easily get an EQS or EQE for that price or even a BMW iX—all $80k plus cars.
Also, really evaluate if you want an EQB. It’s one of the most uncompetitive EVs on the market. I’m quite confident Mercedes is going to have a hard time giving them away at under $500 a month.
“It’s a terrible value, uncompetitive car at MSRP… so there’s no way they’re going to give them away exactly like they’ve been doing with the EQS.”
And then there’s this, too… really think we’re that far from getting these sub $500?
Exactly, we’re already at sub $500 for EQB. Just search this forum.
Yeah, I linked the example. So you meant, no one will buy them even at $500? I don’t have accurate sales figures, but I’ve talked to a ton of dealers that aren’t willing to budge much from MSRP on these. These guys certainly don’t seem to agree. And also, to be clear, that example I linked required EV conquest, max MSDs, and was a pretty much base EQB. Getting a decently optioned one under $500, especially 300 or 350, may be possible, but I can tell you it’s far from easy.
