I know this car isn’t popular because of the cut-in-half engine that was previously in it. But I thought it was good for the overall performance provided. I’m currently looking to get into a C63S E Performance. Not that I am believing social media, but I had seen a video for one that had gone on to be leased for $600 (unsure of the whole breakdown). I reached out to a dealer, and they offered me one with a $90k MSRP, $ 1k per month, $ 5k down, 10k miles, and a 42-month lease. I wanted to know if anyone has received better offers on this car, or if this is even a good deal. Thanks.
As always the first thing you should do is search the Marketplace to get a baseline, there are a number of brokers listing C63’s for substantially cheaper.
Also, anytime you reach out to a dealer and allow them to start the process by providing you an initial lease quote, it’s almost guaranteed to be awful. As mentioned, look at the marketplace, Edmund’s, etc., and then you offer a proposal based on available incentives you qualify for and what an achievable discount might be. You might need to cast a wide dealer net, as it’s not uncommon to get turned away.
Where is the best place to search? I’ve been looking on Visor, but it still seems to have issues retrieving all listings or retrieving them accurately.
Understandable. I appreciate this advice. I tried to get a good breakdown, but they want me to come in. I was very clear that I would not do that until I was given a written price for a monthly DAS that met my criteria.
Become acquainted with the LH Marketplace and see what brokers are offering. It provides a good baseline for what might be achievable. You can go to Edmunds forums to find incentives and lease programs, such as the residual values (RV), money factor (MF), and incentives. All things you’ll need in order to make an informed proposal when reaching out to a dealer.
Gotcha i’ll keep researching. I appreciate this advice, will update if i’m able to seal the deal on this vehicle.
I just searched the entirety of the LH forum for ‘C63’ and filtered the results to only show after 1/1/26 and a number of broker listings popped up.
Is there a link to that mysterious video? You can lease a demo for $1,200 with only first month nowadays.
Any monthly payment is possible w/ a large down payment.
Saw a few at $700-800 monthly with $3-4k das weeks earlier
Go to Wiki here and learn how lease math works…and the LH calc to put target payment/DAS together.
Do you have links to that? Tried to find something within those criteria but was unsuccessful.
I meant to say a monthly and DAS that met my criteria. But yes I still have a lot to figure out with leasing as this is only my second car that I would be leasing.
