[Transfer Completed]2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, P1 premium package, $500 incentive, $377.98/month+tax

[Charles]

The car has been transferred, thank you all for reaching out.

Looking for someone to take over my 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300W. Lease expires July 5th, 2021.

$378/month + tax
~1000 miles a month
29 of 36 months left (lease ends July 5th, 2021)

Included add ons:
P01 premium package: Rearview Camera, blind spot assistance
SmartPhone integration system (Apple carplay, Android carplay both supported)
Heated front seats
Wheel locking bolts
Prepaid schedule-A and schedule-B service for two years
LED logo projection
Keyless go

Black exterior, Black MB-Tex
Natural grain black ash wood trim

Currently has ~2200 miles

MSRP: $43, 675
MSD’s: 10 @ $5,000 total refundable at lease end

Total Monthly Payment including CA State Tax: $415.53 or about $377.98 without tax.

Current miles are ~2.2K and this is a daily driver, garaged at home. All records and paperwork available.

Buyer pays MBFS application fee and transfer fee.

(More on the numbers: Looking for my $4500 out of $5000 MSD back, and you will get $5000 refunded at the end of the lease by Merdedes-Benz financial.

Original MSRP was $43,675, I pay $395.22 + $37.55(tax) = $432.77/months, with the $500 I am offering, which lowers the monthly payment by $17.24 (500/29), so you’re looking at the payment of $377.98($395.22- 17.24) + tax. Mercedez-Benz offers 33 months early termination if you want to have a new lease, so you can potentially get a new car in 26 months.)

Please reach out if interested.

Thanks

Good deal on a GLC! Mercedes SUVs generally don’t lease too well.

[Charles]

Yikes, I did not know that. Why is that?

[BoardWalkNJ]

Conservative residuals, small discount, lack of incentives. You did get a great deal though and will have no problem finding someone to take it over. Personally, I’d cut the incentive in half at first (your deal is already good on a GLC)

[escobar022]

Too bad im on the east coast, i would have taken this in a heartbeat

[jananth1]

Great deal, pretty sure you can probably get a transfer without having to offer incentive. If people are wary about paying the MSD, then you should throw in an incentive

[arunkcle]

PM’d you…

[Charles]

Replied. Let me know if you need more information.

[Charles]

Added the windowsticker, which includes the complete features, as well as mpg and other information.

[Charles]

Some interest parties asked more information, so share here with you’all.

– There is no dent or scratch, or stain, or curb rush
– It is not smoked in

[Charles]

More people ask about the application and transfer fee. Here is the number I got from Mercedes-Ben Financial:
The application fee is $50, and transfer fee is $595 for non-CA, and $695+tax for CA.

So I was in talking with one of the interested members from leasehackr, and they’re interested in taking over the lease, and they live inland empire.

Question: how/where can we find an economical and reliable way to ship the car from Los Angeles to inland empire, if we can get the transfer work out?

I’ve used All Coast Auto Transport for both of my lease transfers in the past 3 years. They’ve always been responsive, reasonably priced, and given me zero issues. I’ve dealt directly with the owner, Denise.

Thanks for the information, Bilious. Will reach out the Denise to get a quote.

Happy to recommend someone who has done a good job for me. Good luck with the transfer. I just completed one for a 2016 CLA45 AMG in November. The only thing to be aware of is that Mercedes may take 4-6 weeks to complete the process and you really have to stay on top of them as they aren’t very proactive in their communications.

[Charles]

I see, thanks a lot for the information. That takes a long time, so to accelerate the transfer process or stay on top of the transfer, how can we do that? call 800-654-6222?

[nathan]

What? Just drive it it’s like 50-80 miles depending on where you are.

[anon98469396]

As the person with the car, let Mercedes know that you want to do everything possible through email or they do everything via snail mail. Even with that, they still take quite a while to process the documents. Make sure the person taking over the lease scans and emails all of the paperwork promptly. Some of the documents require they be notarized. Oh, make sure you don’t compress files even if they are huge, as they can’t process a .zip file. I found that out the hard way and it caused a 1-2 day delay.

I had everything returned to them within hours of receiving it, and the process still took just over 4 weeks before I could have the car picked up for transport. They said they have quite the backlog of transfer requests in November/December so maybe that has changed for the better, but they seemed to have very few people working on processing the transfer.

Call them every couple of days to get an update. Otherwise, you will only hear from them a couple of times during the process. I have no direct evidence, but I suspect had both of us not contacted them regularly, we would have been closer to 6 weeks on the transfer.

[Charles]

I see. thank you very much for your detailed information, Bilious.

[Jon]

Serious? The buyer isn’t willing to pick it up? LA to the IE is nothing.
