Yes, there seems to be a decent inventory of 2017s in the Los Angeles area. But there was a recent recall on the B250e and none of the dealerships could sell any until the parts became available to make the required fix. Yesterday I got a call that the one I wanted had the fix made and is now...

GlennD and JeffRay, Thank you very much for your very helpful responses! The lease on my 2014 B-Class ED ends on Dec. 20. I'm going in to a dealership today here in LA to see what kind of lease deal I can get on a 2017.

I am considering leasing the 2017 B250e this month. Does the 2017 B250e come with a range extender as standard equipment? A salesperson said they do, but I can't find information on the MB website or anywhere else stating this. Also, for anyone that is using the range extender, how does it work...

GlennD, can you please share what your monthly payments are (including tax) and how much money you put down? Thank you!

Today I noticed one of the letters of "Electric Drive" on the back of my leased 2014 B-Class fell off and was missing. On closer inspection, I saw that these letters are merely glued on and the glue is evidently starting to fail, since most of the letters are becoming loose. Does anyone else...

My 2014 B-Class did not have any where or any way to attach a front license plate. That hasn't been problem---until now. I just got a parking ticket for not having a front license plate, so I need to find a way to attach one. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what is the solution? Thanks!

Can the Mercedes B-Class ED be plugged into a Tesla charging station?

Does anyone know if Mercedes-Benz provides any discounts or special arrangements with car rental companies such as Enterprise for when we need to take a longer car trip? For example, Fiat provides $300 a year for 3 years to owners/lessees of it's 500e electric car for car rentals, and BMW has...

Every time I fully charge my B-Class, either using 120v or 220v, the gauge shows a full charge, but the range always shows 62 miles. I thought the range is supposed to be up to 85 miles? Does anyone know why it does this?

I will try your idea if the dealer can't help. I'm beginning to get used to the headrests and can certainly live with them attached. Thank you all for the suggestions!

I have tried everything the manual says. The headrests each only go down to a fixed point about 3" above the seats. There is no way they will sit flush on the seats. As far as taking them out, they just go up to a certain point and then will go no further. I have a feeling it's the way they...

The rear seat headrests interfere with my rear window visibility. I would like to lower them all the way down to the top of the seat or remove them completely. I can't do either, and neither could the sales rep at the dealership. I'm referring to the left and right rear seats, not the middle...

jwchwang, Thank you for the information. I leased mine yesterday and got a good deal on PPM, which I had rolled into the lease and residualized.

This is what troubles me...no one in the service department seems to know anything about the B-Class yet!

Do you know what you paid for Prepaid Maintenance? The Mercedes website says $800 for 3 years. Did you roll that cost into your lease?
