If you can afford it, not great, not bad, espeically for the 12k mileage. You just missed out on the AMEX $4.5k off on these which expired this week.
If you like it and can afford it, buy it. But I would not put any money down.
I don’t think it’s a good car for its price, but at nearly $30k off, not bad.
Pass. @oarfish18 is probably pricing better.
Do you have AMEX in your deal? If so, $9500 AMEX + $7500 ev rebates are included in your discount in the quote provided, which is pretty crappy, meaning dealer1 for ex., is discounting the car $10k. Aim for higher, out of dealer pocket discount.
Is it though ? Her latest from today :
EQS 450 AWD SUV 36 MONTHS - 7500 MILES
MSRP 110980
3500 drive off - 836 plus tax
3500 drive off max msd - 735 plus tax
Putting aside fact that OP wants 3rd row, djust no-msd for 12k and add tax. Seems very close , If not worse. No ?
Todays socal broker deals are even worse.
Seems like after new fleet update they are pulling back on pre-incentive discounts.
I am not at all convinced that’s true.
My mental math says she’s better by 75/m from what you posted + a second quote never hurt anyone.
what card is this? I always thought that those checks counted as cash advances and had fees which were higher than any merchant CC fee. A quick google seems to confirm this.
That was my plan but apprently one-pay now lowers the MF by 0.0004 while the MSDs lower it by 0.0007 so it saves me more for less cash upfront.
Business Chase Ink.
I haven’t been charged cash advance on it. I did tell Chase about it before getting the card. Was told I’ll be charged only if I don’t make payments other than that it is interest free.
A screenshot of a contract was posted showing a total loss was included as a default.
Hmm then MSDs are not any different than putting money down on a Mercedes lease, that’s a bummer. So they keep the MSDs despite the GAP coverage paying them for the delta between payoff and market value? If this person was paying $2k/month clearly it wasn’t a good deal, my cap cost should start in low $70k range and I can buy cheap GAP through my auto insurance if Mercedes doesn’t include it. Not sure if they would still keep the MSDs if there isn’t a delta between payoff and market value plus if i have GAP insurance…
IMO this should be Your goal.
I got slightly better deal back in March 2023 but on loaner.
Wow, so 2023 eqb n eqe is only $2.5k fleet discount, while eqs is $9.5k fleet.
Just starting out here, trying to read up! Live in Tampa but I have no problem picking the car up and driving back if the deal is that good. Looking for a EQS but I need 3 rows. Ideal lease would be. 36 or 39 mo, 10k miles, low 700s credit.
Lots of MB brokers posting deals in the Marketplace. Have you taken a look?
Why don’t more lot model EQS have the third row? Some kind of supply issue? Seems like everyone wants them.
Why do extra work? We all like to be spoon fed
Are there any reports of MBFS NOT keeping MSDs to cover the gap? We have a report of someone who lost their MSDs and the contract language clearly allows it.
The report I’ve seen recently was a thread from another forum that didn’t have a conclusion, and there weren’t enough facts present to know that the individual wasn’t in default on the agreement in some way.
But I don’t read every single thread here, so I may have missed something. 
Was there another one?
Because I am about to lease a new EQS, I have been reading about this. It sounded like Mercedes did not refund the MSDs because the gap insurance did not cover the entire gap since the gap was too big with their lease buyout being at $110k (sounded like an MSRP deal with only $7.5k lease cash to reduce the cap cost) and what the lessee insurance was willing to pay for the car. I am planning on buying a second a gap coverage through my auto policy just to be safe, even though my cap cost should start around $75k with all the discounts and incentives…
