Happy to share the info of my sales person in private message!
EDIT: the best interior I have even seen in cars and one of the best infotainment with so many options! Super impressed with interior of the car! The exterior as you all know is nothing special.
We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to share the deal on SIGNED! too, if you haven’t done so already.
As you know, the Leasehackr community relies on member contribution to stay informed and score deals. Posting your deal on SIGNED! is an easy way to give back to the community. As our token of thanks, SIGNED! contributors will be granted access to our private Hackrs Lounge where expert discussions happen (and where folks ask for MMR).
Each month, our editorial team would celebrate our handpicked SIGNED! deal of the month. The winner would be recognized on the forum if username is provided.
what happens if we drove past 7.5k miles in a year? do they charge you by miles? Is that a dealbreaker for lease vs buy? I think my usage will be around 10k per year
It’s 25 cents ($0.25) per mile if you go over. Do the math to see if it’s worth getting more miles at inception or just paying at the end. In general, for these, it’s cheaper to go with 7.5k miles / year and pay for the excess miles at the end.
You can adjust the miles to whatever you need, at the start or just pay at the end. Most companies charge the same at the start or end so doesn’t matter, I am not sure about Mercedes tho. So for your 10k mile lease will add $1,250 or $52 a month.
Also please do your minimum homework. I’m not a broker and I’m not making you a deal here. I shared the sales person and you can make it work in anyway you want or easily walk away. The dealer never guarantees to do the exact same deal. Please educate yourselves to be able to negotiate. Your questions about availability, deals etc should be directed to the sales person. I have no idea how many cars they have and I don’t see any reason to call them to get you a deal you are looking for. I have received ridiculously awkward messages in my inbox with lots of unreasonable expectations blaming me for not being able to repeat the same deal. If it is your first time please educate yourself. This forum is full of very useful information. You can’t expect someone doing everything for you.
This sounds like a lesson learned the hard way! You tried to be helpful and it backfired.
Best to share your dealer / sales person with as few people as possible, even after asking for permission from the sales guy.
I’ve seen post where people have listed sales person’s name and cell phone number and have instantly regretted it.
Don’t share your sales person or dealer information in the future. They are frequently bombarded by people demanding to replicate deals posted on leasehackr and it’s a huge pain in the ass for them.
If you want to have a future relationship with that dealer, keep that information to yourself.
Sharing your deal numbers on here is intended to give others a frame of reference to do their own research and figure out how to negotiate their own deals.
The amount of people that have reached out to me after I posted my lease deal demanding I share my dealer and contact was wild. These people want to do non of the work or due diligence and want a replicated deal based off your hard work and time spent negotiating.
Not to mention these folks likely don’t understand tax and rebate differences as it applies to them in different states. I would never do that to my salesperson. The LH bottom feeders see a price, don’t read the main post or replies.
My intention was to help. I get all your points and now I realize my mistake lol I would hope at some point we have a more mature community so we can help each other in the right way more. I learned tons of useful things here and that is the only reason I was able to close couple of good deals. Let’s encourage the right behaviors all together
