Thank you for the link btw!
You all, guys, conveniently forgot to mention the number of farts in loaners. So, Iâm with Eric_N here.

The only reason is because from a rational standpoint it makes very little sense to pay an extra $200+ a month for a car under warranty because you are concerned someone might have âabusedâ it, when even if they did any problems that arise are not yours other than having to take it in.

I guess this is addressed to me, so let me clarify something for you: I never mentioned word âloanerâ in my posts here, nor called you âstupidâ. So, get the facts straight in your replies.
I paid $465 /mo x 36 with $0 DAS (only first monthâs payment) on a BRAND NEW V6 MB C300 4Matic with entertainment package.
Deal I was offered to sign yesterday was even better than above referenced, because MSRP of the car was $3000 higher than last MB I leased, with premium package, panoramic sunroof, upgraded sound system and 18 inch 5 spoke alloys added to standard package, with total sticker price of over $48K. And I now live in MD, which charges all the taxes upfront.
I donât think leasing a loaner I could save $200 a month.
But that is beside the main point of me personally NOT wanting to lease a used car. Thatâs like a preference in sex life, you canât force a heterosexual person to become homosexual, or vice versa, by stating how rational/good/better it is to be the other.
Maybe you can convince someone to become bi or try it once for a decent amount of money?

Ok so now you are comparing not wanting to lease a used car to sexual orientation? No more comments from me, Iâm out. Good luck to you.

I am very picky about cars I get. I walked away from a great deal yesterday because I didnât like the interior color combination. If I was to consider a loaner I would also consider certified used, and would have long ago got the car I want without posting anything on this forum.
I donât know how to explain in plain English that I will NOT consider used or loaner car. There are a lot of people who would love to consider those , and there are dozens of threads on this forum about loaners. If I was to consider a loaner why would I even open this thread? I would just join one already created.
Of course you didâŚ

Text me, I will text you the name of the sales person and general manager and you walk there and ask them if I did walk away or didnât. You may even get a great deal from them for yourself. Just tell them you were referred by Eric. If you want loaner they will get it for you.
Damnit dragged me back in. I hear you but unless you are diagnosed by a mental heath professional with some sort of disorder comparing your desire to not want a used car to sexual orientation is so far off the reservation I canât even. Seriously done now.

Thanks, but I have pretty good MB contacts in DMV and will not lease one, anyway. But I have to admit that I probably would not consider higher mileage loaner either. Maybe up to 3-4k miles only.
Some feel like they are marrying their car, when itâs in fact a 2-3 years dating

Car I looked at yesterday had MSRP of $48K+, not $43.
Still, $1677 DAS is close to $45 (plus finance costs) per month, which brings the total monthly payment to $322. I could probably get the BRAND NEW car with sticker price of $43000 for around $450/mo with just $450 DAS plus 35x $450. Thatâs savings of $130/mo for a life of the lease, or about $4680 for a life of the lease if I go with the option you linked. But then, if I WAS to consider a used car, why even bother with a loaner which had new driver every day? Why not go with certified used MB , which CAN be leased as used car, and get even better deal? All the while knowing that your car had one owner?
I personally am NOT in a market for a used car. But if I was, I would definitely consider leasing Certified Used and not even bother with loaners.
I think what youâre going to predominately find on this forum is 1 of 2 groups of people looking for the best price:
-
Those who need a class of car and are going to be looking for the best deal. E.g. need to have a 7 seater SUV - donât care the model or brand just looking for a good payment.
-
Those who have their heart set on one type of car, but can be somewhat flexible. This is where a lot of people suggest loaners - because they are a great deal - regardless of the number of farts. Obviously youâre somewhat limited on options here so you may have to take a color that is not your most desired or live without an option that you wanted. At the end of the day, most people can reconcile that with the fact that theyâre getting a payment to rent a car that they would not be able to get on that car otherwise.
Unfortunately for you, you seem to be in a group of people who needs the exact deal the exact way you dreamt it up. It has to be the exact car you wanted in the exact color you wanted it. You canât sacrifice to have a car with a couple thousand miles on the clock. Thereâs nothing wrong with that, but you just have to understand youâre a lot less likely to ever come up with a deal on a car like that is going to blow peopleâs socks off on this forum. If you do research and know your numbers, thereâs no reason you shouldnât be able to get a good deal for whatever car youâre looking at, but I venture to guess youâll never get a Hackr worthy deal. Best of luck with your searches and I hope youâre able to find some useful information on this site.

You see, the problem I have with you and some others in this thread is that you want to switch the discussion from car I am looking for to discussion of my character, persona and now you want to be my online psychiatrist. But I did not ask for any of those things.
And how am I supposed to explain to someone who doesnât get that I will NOT consider a used/loaner car, that I will NOT consider it, period? 
I always got exactly the car I want (color combination) at a price that I was happy with. Lately, I thought it was nearly impossible to accomplish, but now I feel confident that I can pull similar deals , it just takes patience (an opposite of impulse buyer who loses their mind once they get behind the wheel of their dream car). I have come to conclusion (after contacting dozens of dealers lately), that the most important thing is to find a right dealer, with the right sales person you can establish a personal rapport with, and with the right general manager who is willing to work with you. The rest is , as I noted above, a matter of patience. Donât ever go to dealership that treats you like a nuisance and judges you by how ready you appear to get what they want you to get on their terms. Go to dealer who has mastered the art of customer service, and you will get what you want.
I agree itâs important to find a good dealer who will work with you. Iâd advocate that itâs equally important to know your numbers. What is the MF and RV of the car youâre looking at for the term youâre looking at? What incentives is the manufacturer throwing in? What is the average discount for that car before incentives? Can you apply MSDs? How does the MSD program work for that leasing company? If you know those details, almost everything else should fall into place.
