I suspected as much. 
A Mercedes it will need to be thenā¦

Maybe itās important that everyone here are aware that the number you mentioned ($506 per month) is for 48 months, not 36. Although, I did see on Rodo a similar MSRP car ($300 less) for $530. But who knows if they will honor it. Maybe I will try and see, just for fun.
Hi all,
Just wanted to update that the dealer just sent me a new deal, $450 a month with only 4500 DAS for MSDs, this is 13% dealer discount. BTW, I didnāt approach the dealer this month, so not sure if that says anything about the dealers situation.
I think Iām going to pull the trigger, please let me know if you think there is any reason to wait a bit more?
Thanks
Itās April now, so new numbers are out from Mercedes. Donāt do anything until you get updated numbers from Edmunds to compare. Theyāve obviously added some incentives. Youāll want to check. Just because the monthly is lower doesnāt mean that the dealer is giving you a better deal.
I already checked edmunds, MF and residual are the same as in March. Dealer have reduced sell price from 11.6% to 13.1% off MSRP. Not aware of any other change since the quote in March. Maybe additional trunk money they have?
Theyāre showing $1000 in the rebates section rather than $500 before, so something has been added. You definitely want to be sure that MB hasnāt added some dealer cash or something thatās being included in that discount amount.
In my latest sheet posted I did have the $1000 in rebates. Itās 500 first month waiver and 500 fleet
Ah, gotcha. I scrolled up to compare and only saw the one at the top.
If youāre comfortable w/ the payment and the monthly checks out in the lease calculator, I think itās a pretty good deal for such a new and heavily optioned car.
I aimed for $450 a month, and although itās always nice to get even lower number I feel like there is no end, additional $10 less a month will not make me richer.
Thanks guys for all the help
Given they reached out and if youāre going to take the deal, Iād drop the line āif you can take another $500 off Iāll sign todayā and see if that gets you a couple hundred more.
Even if you donāt get it you still did okay with that model.
Hi all,
I told the dealer we can move forward, and I was asked to sign on the deal sheet which I posted above. Is this binding me in any way? I have never had to sign anything in the past, other than the contract agreement while picking up the car.
Thanks
That deal info sheet is a printout from their CRM (customer relationship management) tool. It is NOT legally binding; dealer sees it as more of a mental commitment from you.
Thanks, I actually told them that I do not have printer at home so I could not print and sign. He told me itās ok and they will work with what they have, whatever that means.
Hi all,
Should I add PPM for $14 a month, it seems like a good deal to pay ~$500 for 3 years of service.
Any thoughts why not going along with it?
How should I add the PPM to the calculator? add it to the MSRP?
Thanks
What maintenance does it cover and what would that maintenance cost if performed a la carte?
This is what I found on MB site
Iām sure that the a la carte prices are higher than what can be really be paid evantually, I see on dealers websites service coupons, but not sure what will be the cost in the end for 2 A and 1 B services without PPM.
My understanding is that the PPM is residualized, so it would be added to the MSRP. But I think you add the full price of the PPM to the MSRP.
$500 is presumably not the full cost of the PPM. What is the full cost of the PPM?
Depending on how much your local service station costs, I personally think itās worth it (you will likely at least break even, if not save a few hundred on service over the duration of the lease).
Hard to say for a GLB since itās so new, but you could look at benzworld or mbworld forums to see if you can find anything.
You have to add it to both the MSRP and the selling price
ETA: āitā meaning the MSRP of the PPM, thatās the $ amount you add in both places.
