Wow that was fun looking at CarMax --In Jan 2018 my buyout is $23,818, and I have a loaded 2014 B-Class ED, the only thing I would wish for was Apple Car Play which became available in the 2015-2016 models. (optional) and I actually do not know anyone who has commented on it. I really like my car, and if I could get a bumper to bumper warranty including drivetrain -- actually, maybe I would just go for it without, my car has been unbelievably reliable. I have about 21,000 miles and am not putting on the long miles like I did at the beginning of the lease. At the end of 3 years lease I will probably be at 30k miles (6k under). I would LOVE to extend my lease 6 months, 1 year, 2 years -- whatever they will give me. Alternatively I finance it for four years with an additional $5k down and enjoy driving it another year or two -- at which point I probably owe $10k, the car is 5 years old, 55k miles -- and I think plenty of life left in it.....
Questions:
Do you think I could negotiate the buyout price from 23818 to 20k?
Is the battery/DU (Drive unit = motor) /gateway (Computer that connects the two) warrantied for 8 years/100k? or is the entire car 4 years/50k warranty?
