Here is the deal I just got on a lease this week.
Vehicle List Price $48,950.00 (Night Black, Black MB-Tex, Burl Wood, P1 Package, Multimedia Package, Recuperation Paddles, Blind Spot Assist)
Mercedes Discount $ 8,871.78
Cap Cost Reduction $ 7,550.28 (Paid for by tax incentives, federal and something else)
Net Cost $32,527.94
Residual Value $22,517.00 (46% of List)
36 Months, 10,000 miles per year. $329.97
I did pay some fees so they clawed some back but the deal was still a good one for me.
First Month's Payment $ 329.97
Acquisition Fee $1,095.00
Taxes, Reg, Title $ 799.19
Total Dues at Signing $2224.16
I believe the Acquisition Fee was the way Mercedes paid the dealer or the way the dealer manipulated their computer system so the real net cost of the vehicle was $33,622.94. Basically 31% off the list price. The lease finance rate was extremely low as well. Money Factor of .0003 or 0.725%.
