Congrats on your deal.
Nice to see double digit dealer discounts on MB gas powered cars on the East Coast.
Nice deal! If these leases were transferrable, I’d try one out.
Pics!
How do you like it? Have been considering one but the 4 cyl is putting me off
Just drove home from the dealer in freezing rain / snow and it was still so much fun. I had a 2020 M340i before the EQE and i feel right back at home in the C43. 4 banger or not; the car is fun
First offer was asking for the 10K off after seeing what oarfish was doing in CA, figure worse thing they can say is no… they came back at 7K off and then 2-3 days later came back and said we’ll do the 10K offer if you can get it this month. done deal!
I was just checking my local dealer’s inventory and they have one with an MSRP of nearly $80k. Can’t wait to see what it goes for on the used car market in a couple of years.
Congrats! In your opinion, how does it compare to the m340?
Both very similar; don’t notice too much of a difference really. I like the MB styling and the MB has little more of a luxury feel to it but i’d happily drive both with no complaints
Congrats! I’m also working on getting a similar deal in NorCal, aiming at ~15% at buy rate with AMEX but no loyalty.
How were they able to end your EQE lease? Did the negative equity get transferred over?
I have an EQS and I want to do the same thing.
Congrats on such a great deal…I’m in NJ what town was the dealer in? I have an AMEX card,what are the incentive details
If you qualify for pull-ahead, then MBFS is basically letting you end the lease early. There’s no NE in that situation. MBFS is agreeing to your grounding early.
Did the $10k off include the incentives? Or, was the $10k the dealer discount and then you got another $7500 off on top of that? Theres a dealer in Ohio with a similar deal, 14% off MSRP.
the 10K was pre incentive
including incentives i got 24.73% off
That seems like a pretty smokin’ deal! For that deal I’d probably have to go C43, Im about to go either M340 or M2. Both are a lot more monthly.
Id totally be down to get this if they’d be willing to trade in my e35 bmw i4. Any thoughts or tips or where and how I should proceed?
You’re going to be beyond under water trying to trade in or kill the lease on a non MB electric
MBFS has incentives this month where they will term the lease if you’re getting another MB. think it’s up to 5 payments on electric / 3 on gas
if you still wanna try…go look for units with 200+ days aging
Any dealership incentives in your area? i see a 5k dealer cash incentive and have penfed for another 5500. not sure if they are stackable.
AMEX/Penfed replaces the $5K dealer cash so it’s really only an extra $500
