Am I the only one feeling like the lease prices of the Mercedes EQB are going down by the day?
I was just wondering if it’s a weak signal of any larger trend, or is it because MB just maufactured way too many of them (wasn’t the EQB their best-selling EV in 2022?).
It is also noticeable that MB offers larger discounts that BMW (i.e., up to 15% vs 5% for an i4, if you are lucky).
What makes BMW capable of selling at a higher price? Lower volumes to move (i.e., less aggressive flooding the dealerships)?
EQB is the cheapest MB EV… and this is what it should be leasing at… esp if their $80k EQE and +$100k EQS were leasing for so much less compared to their MSRP.
Big discount, fleet incentives, and low MF to move the 2023s. There were some good deals on the 2023 Q4 etrons as well with discounts and Costco incentives. I don’t think you’ll get those discounts if you just walked into the dealer. The two NorCal dealers on here appear to have some rivalry going on.
I hope you’re kidding. There are a bunch of dealers and brokers on here that have eqbs at $500/mo effective or lower with max msds. But MB nickle and dime you for everything, even heated seats which are standard on every other EV. But it’s still not bad as long as you don’t plan to do much long distance driving that require a lot of fast charging since it has one of the slowest charging speeds
No I wasn’t. But to be fare $800 is the build with Pinnacle package, technology package, $0 drive off and no MSD. Effective is probably a bit lower.
I have tried a few brokers but none has a car that has all the features I like. So still trying
Yeah, I noticed that. Even with the NorCal dealers, only some builds are on sale. So they’re probably just trying to move builds that have been sitting on the lots the longest, perhaps to make way for the 2024s. There are enough incentives where they can sell these to unknowing people that just walk in without huge discounts off msrp.
