Mercedes Benz E300 - Lease

Let me preface this by saying that everyone’s experience is unique, but I cannot personally recommend Cherry Hill. I have heard more than a few negative things about that particular dealership (in both the sales and service areas). I would recommend that you reach out to Mercedes Benz of Atlantic City. They are affiliated with Fort Washington (PA) where I have had great experiences. Obviously you will want to cross shop any deal that either Cherry Hill or Atlantic City offer.
As for the E300, you are going to want to aim for at least 15% off MSRP. I posted a full break down of the E300 4Matic deal that I got on numerous other threads but the general idea is that the car had MSRP of $59,775 and the final price was $49,292.

thank you all. ill reach out to atlantic city also. union city guys got back to me. the best they can do is 8% off msrp. thats ridiculous.

i have nothing of interest in package 2 except for massage seats. is it worth it. can you get this feature as an add on to pkg 1.

Personally, I like the P2 (active seats and auto high beams are very nice to have). The rest is kind of fluff. Worth it to me, understandably not for many.

Is it good deal ?

What does this car have in addition to Premium 01 that is driving the MSRP up to 61k? An E300 4Matic with premium 01 should sticker for about 59,775. Does this car have the panoramic roof?
The discount seems reasonable but why 48 months? The sales tax is killer in Md and is driving your monthly cost way up.

Let me toot @BenzBuyer horn for him, he is being modest. This is one the best examples here on how to break down a deal to the dealer and just ask him to use your numbers. Don’t copy it verbatim, substitute your MSRP and then work the numbers into your MD tax

So I am not sure how MD killer taxes gets you from $430 to $650 and 48 months! Please do NOT do a 48 month lease.

How is total due at signing for $3,000 break down?

i wish i get that kind of discount in NJ. Spoke to couple of dealers. for 63k msrp the best they can do is 56.5k

i tried carvoy and got similar quote

Highly unlikely to have panoramic roof. Prob small items like illuminated star and comfort box

I am in a similar situation and also in NJ. Is this a good deal?

New 2017 E300 AWD
$0 Down, 0 MSD, No auto fleet discount
NJ based
36/10k
$60,125 MSRP
$53,287 (11% off)
61% depreciation
$599 Monthly inclusive of taxes. Includes MB Auto Pay discount

Total due at signing $2549.11 ($599 1st payment, $895 bank fee, 329.50 DMV, 499 Doc fee, 213.11 Sup tax, 6.00 on line reg and 7.50 NJ Tire tax)

He did not give MF when asked but appears to be the appropriate .00116 if I back into it.

I’ve heard of people getting up to 15% off msrp but not sure if that is common without fleet discount.

Just to give some perspective. I have a '17 E300 P2 that had an MSRP of $63k and I did 36/12 with two 2 year maintenance for $585. I think they can do better.

Thanks. Any recommendations how to go about it?

One dealer flat out declined to even match that deal via email after several exchanges. I have another dealer working to beat it.

Should I press the original dealer again? ideally, I am thinking I can get this to $550 all in.

If your willing to come down to west chester, pa I’m sure my guy will get u best offer.

Shoot me a pm I’ll send u his contact info.

West Chester is the same affiliate as Fort Washington and Atlantic City. In my experience, West Chester cannot match deals that Fort Washington and AC can make (no idea why as again they are all affiliates). In the end, you are looking for a minimum of 15% below MSRP.

Benzbuyer not same in my case ft Washington didn’t want to match while west chester did.

Why don’t yout share your rep contact info…I will as long you pm me…

I went back to the dealer and they offer a slightly lower payment on higher priced car:

MSRP: $61,275
36/10k: $589/mo inc taxes
36/7.5k: $571/ mo inc taxes

Is this essentially them knocking off $1000? Is this a good deal?

I think this is about 12-13% off. I do not think any dealers were willing to go down to 15% but ultimately I care about the monthly and getting the car I want. This has about both. Just want to make sure I’m not getting hosed.

can you give me contact of your dealer

Are you doing MSD and direct deposit?

No. But considering it get even lower payment.

Did you get the fleet discount?

Not taking advantage of msd & auto payment is not smart.
