This should be moved to ask the hackersâŚI just had an aneurysm at 10k down youâre effectively paying 1500 a month for a 97k car. Do yourself a favor and get an m850âŚthey go for about a grand all in.
In fact if you can live without the cut down head room and the ability to tell people your sedan is a âcoupeâ you could get a V8TT (like the M850i GC) M550i for ~$650 with normal drive offs.
This is an absolutely dreadful deal. The fact that the dealer would even offer this is such a slap in the face. Look elsewhere.
The fact that youâre asking is good, though. These are the types of things that need to be asked in advance, rather than asking after the deal is already signed. This would certainly qualify in our âworst deals youâve ever seenâ thread if youâd have signed it.
yeah while we are at it if you dont need the backseats for the kids, and donât have to flex your v8 and can live with the shame of driving a plebian 3 series I think you can get an m340i for $500. /s
I called this shit in the Maserati thread, evaluate his deal stop yelling bmw on every threadâŚ
Glad I didnât do it. I knew itâs not too good, I didnât know itâs actually too bad :). There are not much about CLS 53 MFs and lease deals in general in the forum. I just saw some people talking about Rodo having some deals 12% off of MSRP. This is not even 11%. Anyway, I will negotiate and see what I am getting. Thanks for all responses!
EDIT: For the context I have been negotiating for quite a while not taking the first shot here. They wouldnât go a penny down from this, hence posted. Anyway.
From what I am calculating given 52% residual and 0.0017 MF from Mercedes Benz financial (if this is true). I am looking at least this numbers that may make this a better deal:
thereâs nicer ways of putting it, not to mention the m850 is a coupe and the cls is a sedan. The guy clearly has no idea what heâs talking about and just throws a random M model in there. At least compare the right model, the direct competitor to the cls53 is the m850 gc which I can assure you will probably be the same monthly as the cls 53 near $1500 for that price point just get an m5⌠but not everybody wants an m5.
The GCs have lower MSRP and higher RV. Please tell me how that isnât the formula for a better lease? Maybe your region is different, but m850s of any body style arenât selling in SoCal because the 840 exists and the m8 exists.
I havenât done too much research but the gc is a brand new model for 2020, regardless of if it doesnât sell well itâs still going to be hard to get a huge discount this early in the game. Itâs definitely gonna be 1200+ per month, with the right options $1500 doesnât sound too far fetched?
Does it lease better than a cls53? yes the numbers say so but maybe he doesnât give a shit about monthly and just wants to get a good deal on a cls⌠you called the deal out for what it was⌠thatâs fine but people in this price point have particular tastes and he probably has already seen the m850 so why scream bmw when he asks for a deal evaluation.
The issue with most AMG branded Mercedes is that they do not lease well with the exception of the c43 on occasion- which is why I gave the advice of the 850. If thatâs the class of car you want, the BMW is the way to go. If you are looking at an AMG exclusively, you should buy and not lease. Paying 54k to lease a 96k car is absurd.
No the issue is that Amg doesnât have inflated residuals like the M cars, at the end of 3 years these cars are usually worth the 5x% of their msrp. You lease a M car you will always be in the red at the end of 3 years, when you lease an Amg you may still be in the red but their residuals are more in line with what the car is actually worth.
Own one of these cars after warranty and see how much a repair bill is when something inevitably goes wrong with these cars. These arenât cheap little hondas, something breaks on one of these cars and itâs $1k minimum to the dealer and you canât use cheap a** ebay parts on these cars, good individual german mechanics are also a rare commodity.
As far as the âclass of carâ comment goes
Big question here is have you driven cars of this caliber? Have you compared the 53 Amg to the M850? Seems like you are just comparing monthlyâs here which is not how comparisons go(thereâs more to it than monthly payments). have you footed the bill when something goes wrong with an Amg car? If the answer is No then you shouldnât really be giving advice.
At the end of the day op has already said heâs been researching the cls 53. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but you are not his daddy nor are you making the monthly payments on his car.
Itâs the same argument on every one of these threads mostly by people who have never even driven an M/Amg car and/or have no idea what theyâre talking about when it actually comes to the market of the car, as well as actual aspects of each vehicle.
Itâs quite clear that you have no idea how a lease works or for that matter buying a new car.
It doesnât matter if the residuals for BMW are inflated or not, the is the bankâs problem not the customerâs.
2.Repairs in the first few years? Covered by warranty.
I daily a 2018 Audi S4. Dropping another $200/month to get a m850 is definitely something Iâve considered and Iâve driven it back to back with with the e53.
