Should I lease or buy the A-Class
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 21st, 2019 6:35 PM Author: Electric sanctuary The one I want MSRPs around $37650 with some small additions I probably don’t want. The dealership seems to want me to lease. I’d need to do 15,000 miles on the lease minimum.
Also, what’s the best way to negotiate price, the Mercedes dealerships don’t give me quick quotes like the Toyota dealerships did.

You're not playing 3D chess with 200 IQ sharks, here.
Reach the price and all that and give them low numbers. Easy as that. There have to be a bunch of Mercedes dealers in southern Southern California. It's not like you only have one shot. |

Date: July 23rd, 2019 12:38 AM Author: sable coldplay fan jewess U should only get gap if you’re financing for like 5 years or more or if your auto insurer offers it for cheap. Another option is to buy through a credit union and they’ll generally throw it in for free.
If leasing prob not. |

The base model I was going to get has a shitty fucking screen so I needed the premium package. |

Date: July 23rd, 2019 8:38 PM Author: tan orchestra pit giraffe Fletcher Jones Newport has too many OC housewives buying cars without negotiation, similar to Santa Monica (all cash Chinese buyers attending SMC) and Beverly Hills (Persians).
Long Beach and downtown LA motors and South Bay very aggressive in pricing. Pit them all against each other and do it all over email/text.
For checking whether you’re getting a good deal, check the edmunds car forums for your exact model and specs. The lease forums will also let you know the lowest money factor they’re giving out. In general leasing and buying are the same as long as you’re working off the same OTD price. You can pretty much get down to 0% on a lease by using some multiple security deposits. With 15k though, I’d rather buy. |
