MB C300 Sport Lease Question

If anyone is in the lease market for a 2015 C300, would you please let me know if this is a good lease quote? My brother would like to know if he's getting a good deal. I don't know much about leases or residuals so any input would be helpful. Thanks!

$40k MSRP
10k miles/year
$3,000 down $333.25 per month
residual is $35k

It's impossible for the residual to be $35k. Maybe that was a typo and you meant $25k? That would make more sense...

Need to know the residual %, money factor, term, and sale price to determine if its a decent deal.

Don't put the $3000 down, roll it into the payment.

As stated above, never put money down on a lease. MB requires this (capitalized cost reduction) and I think it's BS. I'll never lease from them again.

Must've been the rules of my dealer. Either that or they took advantage of my noobness as a first time lessee.

Yeah, MB doesn't require you to put anything down if you don't want to. They have certain 'deals' that require you to put x amount of money down but other than that, it's not a must.

Yeah that discount struck me as sort of odd. Thanks for the input - I advised my brother not to put a down payment.

That's gonna be another 2 years. It says its coming late 2016.
His brother might as well lease 3 years, then return the lease early to get the facelifted model. Mercedes usually allows 4-6 months early lease return if you are going to lease another Mercedes.

If he can really get that discount from MSRP, jump on it. Close to 18%.

There is a no money down option noted in the list to the right of the pic. $882 is likely just the drive off fees.

If you can provide additional details like residual and money factor, would be even more helpful.

Regardless, with that discount, great deal.
