Is that MSDs?
If so, I don’t know if you really need the other numbers. The deal looks excellent, and is amazing for 15k/yr. You’d be hard pressed to get a mid-level Toyota Camry or Honda Accord at that price.
Sorry, yes $4000 MSD
It looks like a great deal to me, but we’ll see if any of the more experienced posters weigh in…
Check the RV and MF on edmunds. If they are what the calc suggest then I will say this is solid deal for 36m/15K.
I assume MF 0.00084 is after 8 MSDs= 4000.
I wish GLC loaner can get to this level…lol
I have no idea how these things are being “suggested” by a calculator
Actually what I did was I started by entering a residual value and MF that I got from other posts in Leasehakr and adjusted them to match the monthly payment. I know that this is not the best way but ultimately my goal was to see if the overall deal (monthly payment for 36/15k) makes a good deal or not, if that makes any sense?
Why don’t you get MF and RV from Edmunds? The only thing that can change is any markup to the MF.
I did ask in the Edmunds forum but haven’t gotten a response yet.
54% is your residual and buyrate is .00076 for January. Not sure what your state fees are but your lease is something like this which is stellar.
Thank you so much. I actually found this specific car listed on the dealer’s website for sale for $34950, so it looks like I can lower the monthly payment by another $13 to $305…
Which is why I said the figures were ultimately unimportant. 
It’s sometimes (and often) important to get RV, MF, etc. But those figure are only useful insofar that they to get us to the total cost of the lease (which presumably should also be given by the monthly and DAS). Even if this were a totally base C300 (which it’s not), it’s a great deal, IMHO.
Worth a try, but, if the car is eligible for new-car incentives, financing and leasing sometimes have different incentives.
I see. Got it. I really appreciate everyone weighing in on this.
By the way, If I go to 36/12k instaed of 15k (Don’t really need 15k miles) then the RV goes up to 56% and max MSDs go down to $3500, so payment would be $277. Am I doing this right?
