Loaner To Owner - Mercedes, Audi, BMW etc

How loaners appear in carfax depends on the state - some simply show “Title taken while in Inventory”, some show “Corporate Fleet”, others show “Rental” - it should be consistent throughout your state though how they appear.

Yes, but the other dealer doesn’t know that. (Well they probably do, but it is an additional opportunity for obfuscation).

Are these available to be leased outside of MD? ie NJ/NY?

MB of chantilly advertises shipping to other regions as an offering on their website.

Don’t see why not. MB of Chantilly even say that they ship on their site.
LOL @cheapdad00 beat me by 2 seconds

Does Audi not do much in the way of loaner leases? Curious how we never see lease deals for them pop up.

I saw one killer Audi A4 loaner deal on here, just don’t really know the specifics to how it works compared to other brands.

Yea, seems worthwhile to build some knowledge on what discounts are possible there too, I may go kick some tires at my local dealer to get a sense of things and share back.

This is the one I was referencing, granted it had large upfront costs, still amazing for an a4. $287/ MONTH, Balck on Balck 2017 A4 Quattro Lease DAL! Tampa Fl., Today only! **previous service loaner** SOLD

I tried to get a a6 loaner and the quotes were super high the best quote I got out of 3 quotes was msrp of $55,675 sell price $37,288 that’s 33% off msrp 36/10k $454 plus tax $1500 drive offs so I passed

I recall we had a brief flurry of A6 deals here last year, I guess the residuals and discounts were lining up. Did you look at Audicare, MSDs and or a one pay to see how that changed the monthly?

Checked one VA dealer dealer and most 2017-2018 low mileage ones have 2 owners: about 5 month personal lease and 1-2 months rental, even though it looks like they all stay at the dealer. Maybe that’s how Audi operates?
Here is one Corp Fleet, one owner:

:slight_smile:

MRSP was $50,250 and sell price is $41,440!
It’s the best deal of the year! Come on in and we can explore lease option.
We currently have 2 people coming to see tonight!

17.5% off on a demo with almost 8K miles

For posterity, I started poking around on demo Q5s. I’m not seeing big discounts vs new.

Model was $52k Prem Plus, 5k miles, buy rate MF but only a 9% discount. SUVs are harder, especially the Q5 so I’m going to look for some A4s to make an apples to apples comparison to the E300s. Either way, not pretty!

2017 C300 P3 at 22% off

21% off

Can one apply fleet/association to these? (I show $2,000 on 2017 C300s).
If applicable can get a sub $300 price on these.

It’s been discussed million times here, including today. Just read most recent MB threads.
