I have not mentioned, I originally bought the car CPO with 61,000 miles on the clock from a Mercedes Benz dealer + extended warranty. March 2017. I have added 23,000 miles to it.
I do not drive long distances, my office is 5 miles on and 5 miles back, I am an independent contractor with my own business under my umbrella Corp. so leasing would benefit me in terms of taxes and I also just found out I qualify for fleet as well. I do not see the C250 helping me out in the long run… currently I’m driving about 11,500 miles per year. Service A-service b was exactly 10k miles August to August 2018.
I think personally for me a lease would work in my favor as long as I come out with a clean deal…
Based on my own experience and what I’ve seen here, not necessarily (I was in the market and early Dec and couldn’t get a lot of dealerships to return my e-mails). I would recommend you start looking latter half of the year (like, in the summer).
By that point, you might even find some 2019 C300 loaners (although perhaps not w/ the exact options you want).
AND DON’T SPEND 8 HOURS AT A DEALERSHIP!!! Honestly, w/ the income you might’ve lost from that time, you could work w/ a broker.
Holy cow!!! 1hr 45 to dealership, 1 hr 45 back = 3.5 hrs total round trip, 11 am to 8:30 pm is 9.5 hours, so total time spent = 13 hrs!!! Did they feed you?
You are right, I have a decent offer on a 2018 C300 amg line loaner 2k miles nicely packaged initial MSRP was 47k. They brought it down to 40k,
Current offer is 36mo/10k miles
DAS: $1,500
Monthly is $499 flat including taxes and the negative equity from the C250.
I think I will pull the trigger on this one… given the situation with the current C250. Doesn’t seem bad. Overall I will pay $19,464 for the entire term I want to ask them to throw in pre paid maintenance in there as well.
