I was quoted the following for a 2025 GLC 350e black exterior with black AMG wheels, AMG Line package, Driver Assistance Package, Pinnacle Line and panorama sunroof:
$1500 due at signing
$1005/month (including taxes)
15k miles allowance per year
The MSRP was $73155, was discounted to $68155 and then lease rebates of $9500. I feel the interest rate is pretty high at around 7.68%.
This one simple hack of a time machine to go back to july!
To be serious: the deal offered is not as good this month on the GLC350E, the money factor went up and the rebate dropped by $2000. In addition, the inventory sold down quite a bit so I doubt dealers will be as aggressive with discounts this month. The angle to get a better deal this month is to keep shopping the car to find someone that wants to move a unit you want to buy, this might take a lot of work on your part.
You are a Super Supporter and can access the buyrate MF from Ratefindr.
If you are unfamiliar w/ Ratefindr and the LH calculator, I would take some time to learn how to use them b/c they will help you create a target deal for this model and trim.
No one knows what august will bring for incentives/mf/residuals/inventory levels next month, you can really only work with what you know (the current month)
Last month you could get this for around 400-500 per month I think… I was shopping for the GLE450e and those were much cheaper than what you are being quoted.
Btw after hearing from everyone saying this is a terrible deal - I went back to my post and wasn’t sure if folks misunderstood my post about the 15k miles. I may not have written it clearly before.
But the 15k miles is the allowed driving miles per year- it’s not the current mileage on the car . The car is brand new.
Is it still a terrible deal? Want your honest opinions - I don’t need to get this car right away but I’m looking to lease either a GLC 350e or ix 45 or q6/sq6, whichever has the best deal.
@tahmidzbrroute Have you tried shopping the marketplace here for your region? Usually quite a few dealers/brokers for MBZ/BMW/AUDI are active here. That will be a higher price lease with 15k miles (usually the ads are 7.5k) and the high MSRP (most of the advertised GLC350s are around 63-65k MSRP) but you can at least shop them against what cartelligent offered you.
I actually don’t know if there is a much better deal, TBH. I only very quickly skimmed one broker’s listings in CA, and the effective monthly for a similar-MSRP model wasn’t all that much better (OP seems to be looking at a model w/ all the option packages).
I think, as other posters have mentioned, the program from the GLC350e this month just isn’t (nearly) as good as it had been in previous months.
Understood! Thanks so much for your and everyone else’s feedbacks. I’m going to turn my attention to Q6/SQ6/iX for the time being. I liked all these cars they have their goods and bads but I’m trying to get one with the best deal possible.
