UPDATE: Incentive now up to $1000!!! Also, if lease is assumed by 6/15/17 I will cover June’s monthly payment!
I have a 2016 Mercedes Benz C300 RWD Sport Sedan (7-Speed Automatic) Polar White with Cranberry Red leather in excellent condition with only 7300 miles for lease transfer.
Location: Hayward, CA
The following packages and options are included in the car. MSRP $53,485
PO2 Premium Package
318 Interior Package
320 Multimedia Package
321 Sport Package
521 Night Package
Rearview Camera
Blind Spot Assist

19" Black AMG Alloy Wheels w. High Performance Tires

Rear Deck Spoiler
The lease information is below:
Payment: $433 + tax (payment includes $1000 incentive and 3 years/30k maintenance!). Satisfies the <1% of MSRP rule!
Maturity Date: 08/06/19
Lease Term: 3 year, 12k miles per year or 1000 miles per month
Residual: ~$33500
Bank: Mercedes Benz Financial Services
Current Mileage: 7300 (Supposed to be at 10000 miles)
Can anyone pls chime in on this deal? Monthly is less than 1% of MSRP and includes 3 years of pre paid maintenance for 12k miles a year. I’m also offering a $500 incentive. What am I missing here?
The pricing is good but you might be better served putting this on a site specifically for the transferring of leases. What hurts you a little bit here is that just 2 months ago people were able to get E300 4Matics with 6k higher MSRP for a lower monthly ($59,775 for under $450). Just my 2 cents.
Yes the E300 deals did require MSDs (which also helps your offer). All in all, its a good deal for a nice car and I am surprised that no one has jumped on it yet.
Personally, I don’t think a C300 for over $500/month after taxes is a good deal. There’s nothing special about a C300. People have so many choices at that price point: BMW X1/X3, Lexus NX/RX/IS/ES/RC, Audi A4/Q5, MB E-class, etc or even $65k F-Type.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if someone can get a brand new C300 for the same monthly or less now. I think you need to bump up your incentive by alot. It currently doesn’t even cover the transfer fee.
I do not have a dog in the fight really, but I disagree with your general premise. There is nothing “special” about any of the cars you listed (well, except maybe the F-Type). You go on to list a bunch of SUVs (that are not comparable to a sedan), an F-Type (totally different style of car), and you refer to other deals that will require $4500 in MSDs. I do agree that you might be able to get a 3 series for similar or lower payments (unlikely to have as many options as the P02 MB).
As an aside, can you show me where I can get a Q5 that is comparable equipped with a P02 Mercedes for under $500 a month? I would be VERY interested in that.
That was my whole point with the payment being over $500/month, that buyers have tons of options (SUVs, small or midsize sedans, coupes, etc).
The Q5 I was referring to was the MY 2017, not the new 2018.
I’m just giving the OP my opinion, as he asked for. If this was such a great deal, why hasn’t there been a lot more interest? Anyhow, good luck to the OP.
My wife wanted this car last year so I was able to use my corporate discount to get a good deal. It is what it is. This is what I have and now I need to get rid of it as I need to get an SUV (just had a baby). There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the car. I’m sure there’s other options out there and there will always be options. If anyone wants a fully loaded C300 Sport I have one and I’m hoping this deal is pretty solid especially with pre paid maintenance included in the payment. If you can get a new one any cheaper in the Bay Area market then thumbs up to you (I will challenge you).
I’ll offer a $750 incentive to cover all transfer fees so this can simply be a sign and drive type of deal.
