Ah amazing, thank you so much and sorry for being a noob!
Shipping is basically part of your “DAS” (Due At Signing) —
I make it as low as I can to keep your payments low. So,
Example is $800 down and $800 / per month. Since most have shipping, let’s say it’s $1600
Then it would be $2400 DAS -and $800 per month. And if you see with the other Marketplace dealerships and Brokers. Their DAS is $2k-$4k
It’s how you separate.

Thank you for the explanation. I understand you can roll the shipping cost into the DAS. But then I assume I have to ship the car back to the dealer when the lease is over–or I have to somehow unload the car some other way rather than just drop it off at the dealer.
No, you can drop the CAR off at any local Mercedes-Benz dealership of your choice. It doesnt’ have to come back to me. Any leases can be returned at any dealership… it doesn’t have to be the selling dealer. Finally, if you want to trade in your Mercedes-Benz at another dealership for another brand (which i dont want that to happen because i want you to stay with Mercedes-Benz and me) – you can … Trade is easily possible as well. you dont have to give the car back to me nor to Mercedes-Benz at the end of the lease. You just need to either, DROP, BUY or TRADE in…
To Everyone—
THANK YOU! As this year comes to a close, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the incredible buyers who trusted me with their car deals. Your enthusiasm and support have made this journey exciting and rewarding. For those who didn’t finalize their deals, I’m truly sorry we ran out of time—your interest and conversations still mean so much to me. I’ll be ready to help when you’re ready to jump in!
To the LeaseHackr community and moderators, a heartfelt THANK YOU for being the backbone of this platform. You drive the opportunities, connections, and successes that make this space so valuable.
For those I’ve been in contact with: I have approval to finalize your deals tomorrow—let’s make it happen. You know who you are!
For everyone else who was on the fence or just couldn’t decide in time: we’re now officially done for the year. But don’t worry—new opportunities await in 2025. Mark your calendars: we resume January 6th, and I’ll continue to bring you the absolute best deals I can.
This year, we made big sacrifices to move inventory, sometimes losing $2K-$9K per deal to ensure you got the best value possible. For those who saw and seized these advantages, I can’t thank you enough for your trust and partnership.
As many of you know, I changed stores in the last quarter, transitioning to my new position. This shift allowed me to focus more intently on deals that benefited YOU—and I’m thrilled to continue helping you in the new year.
Wishing you all a Happy, Safe, and Prosperous 2025! Let’s make it amazing together.
Warm regards,
Dale Acelar

I can help the best I can. But we may be too late- unless you are doing this today
HAPPY NEW YEAR, LEASEHACKRS!
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who worked with us this year. Together, we shattered records by delivering amazing deals and working quickly to make the process seamless for you. Here’s what some of our actual LeaseHackr customers had to say:
• “I’m good. Like your simple deal 
”
• “Best way to get a car ever.”
• “Wow, I never thought it could be this easy.”
• “I understand I can’t get lower—but I see this is the best deal even with shipping. But if you can give me lower—(not negotiating)—I would be happy.”
• “How are you cheaper than most dealers?”
• “I trust you because I see the LH Community can be brutal.”
To everyone who trusted us—thank you! It means the world to me.

I am a dealer, and I collaborate with you directly, assigning a salesperson to ensure a smooth experience. In 2025, we’ll refine our process to make it even better, but LeaseHackr members will ALWAYS get the best deals!
Thank you for an incredible 2024—here’s to an even greater 2025!
Special Thank you to the Moderators – and the contributors! You have been amazing!

I think it’s been pretty impressive! At the start of November, we had more than 130 Ex-Loaners. The pages were long, then we sold – 30+ in November, and then we added another 40 (from what I remember) and after reconciling, we ended up with 34 ex-Loaners remaining!
Thank you to all of you !

Urgent Update: Mercedes-Benz Programs Extended Until January 6th!
Hi Leasehackr Community,
I have some exciting and urgent news for you! Mercedes-Benz Financial has extended their programs until January 6th. Here’s what that means for you:
Ex-Loaners Are Still Available
We can continue working on deals for our ex-loaner vehicles until the new deadline. These cars are the sweet spot for luxury and savings—don’t miss this extended opportunity to snag one before it’s gone!
New Cars: Program Changes
Unfortunately, the specials for new cars have been removed, and discounts on these vehicles are no longer available. However, any 39-month leases will still carry over under the extended programs. If you’re considering a a great deal, look at the EX-loaner Lease LIST , this is something to keep in mind!
Important Affinity Update
Please note that AMEX Affinity is no longer allowed. If you’re looking to take advantage of an affinity program, AAA is now the next best option. Be sure to update your plans accordingly—this is a critical change to keep in mind.
Time is of the Essence
With only a few days left until January 6th, now’s the time to reach out and lock in your deals. Whether you’re eyeing an ex-loaner or sorting out your leasing terms, let’s make it happen before these opportunities disappear.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or to get started on your next lease. Let’s make the most of these last few days!

A friendly reminder that our Affinity partnership with American Express concluded with the close of the December retail month. While several December programs, including our Star Access fleet incentives, have been extended through January 6th, all new retails moving forward are considered January retails.

Has there been any update on Loyalty, specifically if lease maturity moved into April or is it still currently at 3/31/25 or sooner?
