It all happened so fast in the dealership. I had everything calculated out but they didn’t want to do Security deposits. They offered to bring the selling price of the car down + include some extras (Mercedes prepaid maintenance $1,100, Mercedes Lease Care $774). I’m not happy that I put money down but I’m still happy with the deal I received overall. Any thoughts? Any idea if I can get a refund for the PPM and Lease protection package?

The PPM might be worth keeping but I believe you can cancel the lease protection. May want to just keep it and throw the dealership a bone because this is an amazing deal (especially considering the add ons that got added do still have some value).
Just curious, is there any reason why they didn’t want you to use MSDs? I always thought that MSD savings come from the financing company, but it sounds like it might come out of a dealer’s poker.
The finance manager just said it was a lot of work and paperwork and he would rather not do Security Deposits. He said he would rather sell me the car at a lower cap cost and do away with security deposits.
It’s not. It’s literally a few keystrokes on his computer. But this isn’t the first time we’ve heard some form of excuse to avoid learning something new.
Great deal, especially for our area. Screw our tax rate & car tabs though! You should add WA as a tag as well so people can easily search it. Did you feel like the dealership was willing to negotiate in general or mostly just because it was a loaner?
Thanks for the advice, I added the tag!
From what I know, MBenz downtown Seattle is a volume dealer so they’ve seemed very willing to engage/negotiate.
