2012 Mercedes C250 Sport Lease... What would be a "REAL" Deal vs. playing numbers?

Creditaddict — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:05:15 GMT

As I mentioned in my overall post I had spoke with Mercedes but have not been in yet.

I was called a couple hours ago by them and was offered 2012 Mercedes C250 Sport for $350/Month and $1500-$2000 Down/CASH OUT DOOR, but basically agreed to come down to $1k Down only.

What I would really want is $1k Out the door cash down, $350/including Tax, 10k miles a year, 32-39 months, and C250 Sport WITH NAV. Package.

Is this even possible?

Where can the numbers be hidden and worked in the lease besides front end and back end? and if he makes back end $40k or something if i keep perfect condition and turn in at end of lease, can any of that get me on the back end?

Thanks.

I just leased a 2012 C250 Coupe with MSRP at 46K. Put 3900 down, 497 a month incl tax, 15k miles a year for 36 months.

Are you trying to lease a Sedan? If so, they can lower the rates but Mercedes will tell you anything over the phone to get you to come in. Once you come in, they will give you higher numbers. Believe me, I had 1 Mercedes dealership do that to me and it was a waste of time to drive to them after hearing that they were able to offer me certain deals.

CA,

That sounds too good to be true, LOL!

I'd actually consider leasing one at that price if the mileage were 13K. You know how much I hate car payments, LOL!

@ PIH,

I'd be worried driving the pretty, new Mercedes would make all the blood flow away from my brain and shut down its common sense mechanism.

Nah, but driving a Buggait Veyron would most likely cause that reaction. What good is driving a car that has a max speed of 260 mph if you do not actually push it to that point just once!!!!

I would be concerned about the 10K miles/year ~ unless you really don't drive much it will be hard to keep it under the limit.....

The mileage was 15k a year and that would not bother me, at least not right now. I have had my truck for 16 months and am still at 8k miles The truck I traded in I had for 10 years and was only at 72k.

At 201HP the only thing Im going to be doing is trying to push it with my foot outside the drivers door to go faster!

Most likely he is quoting on a 8k miles year on something shorter 29-32... not sure why shorter terms = them going cheaper but what ever... I drive less then 10 a day currently.

Please keep us updated. I was just kidding about leasing one, though. Can't see three kids and DGF all squeezed into something like that, LOL!

Driving the best of German engineering you can trade in the DGF for a new model every month

@ PIH,

She'd likely do better trading me in for a younger model, LOL!

Was just reading e123's post under auto approvals and it was really informative. He basically used two dealers and communicated via email so he would have it in writing. Said the negotiating took a few days, but once he got the deal that worked out best for him he took it. All he had to to was go in to the dealer, verify the numbers and drive away happy. No back and forth "let me run it by the manager" crap. It also provides a chance for them to compete for your business when they know they aren't the only option you have. Good luck with it!
