I think Mercedes cares a lot about the income. I've been driving Audi for years (had 3 of them) and when my lease on the third Audi was up, my credit score was 630. Audi wanted me to pay the excessive miles up front and wouldn't cover the last 4 months due on the lease (I think this was more of the dealer I went to, they weren't doing good by me). Audi wanted to put me on an A3/A4. I was not having it and went to Mercedes. I applied for their financial services, 630 credit score with income of $145K got approved for tier 1 and got myself into an E Class. Mercedes really works with their prespective customers and are ready to close the deal.
