I’m having some trouble getting the calculator to line up (in a good way) so just lowered the dealer fees until the monthly and DAS lined up. MB has limited tax credits available (per dealer I guess)

MB GLA35 AMG

They only had one car available and their regular GLAs and loaner inventory aren’t marked down as much.

Craziest experience I’ve had since I started lease hacking in 2019. Before presenting their offer, I was speaking to the dealer about the rebates, MF, etc. He asked where I was getting my numbers and then asked if it was ChatGPT or Leasehackr. Said Leasehackr with paid access. He comes back with clean numbers on the first go-around saying “there’s no point in messing around”. I forgot about fleet, got him to add it, went to finance, no pressure there and they throw in a dent and battery warranty to get the numbers to line up, whole negotiation process + finance was 30min. MAYBE could have asked for a bit more off front-end, but deal was decent and the process was painless. Dealer put on new tires and completed the 10k mi/1yr service before I took possession.

The car is a stupid amount of fun. I almost went for the regular GLA, but glad I didn’t!

MB Helm Bros has a black one but lease is nowhere near OP deal. Test drove it, fun indeed but too harsh for NYC daily, IMO.

Oh, man, this is the exact deal I’d love to replicate in December. Too bad I live in MN, so there’s next to no hope.

Keep your eye on service loaners, dealers seem to keep adding inventory as they retire cars

where at in Texas, im looking for a deal also as my blazer ev lease is up in 3 weeks

DFW area. Message me if you want specifics. They didn’t have another vehicle like this one, but the trick seems to be to hunt for service loaners with big discounts. I can’t exactly figure out why some service loaners are 10% off and others are around 20% with similar miles/condition.

FYI, I mentioned this in another thread, but a family friend had their Blazer EV going back, and if I recall, those leases had crazy high residuals, like 70%+ or something. They liked the Blazer and worked with their dealer to buyout at current market pricing for similar 2 year old Blazers (around $26k I think). Dealer took the car back and then immediately sold their car back to them for market pricing (not the residual)
