The local dealer, who has their showroom under construction called me today with an offer too good to pass up. I can turn in our C300 lease 5 months early without penalty, they will waive all fees and let me take a 24 month lease on a 2011 E350 Bluetec for $20 a month more than I am now paying for the C class with no other costs, no cap reduction, nothing. It's almost too good to be true. The only downside is that it has 3K miles as it was the sales manager's car but was never titled so it qualified for my MBCA loyalty reward which helped bring the lease payments down by $45 a month too. We pick it up Monday

Having 3K miles on it got me to get them to throw in the first A service for free when it is due as well as a set of winter mats.

Wow, nice. I'd have probably jumped on an offer like that too. C class gasser to E-class diesel for $20 difference? Not counting it will likely save more than that in fuel every month depending how much you drive....

It's the first Merc I've had my wife actually look at before I pointed it out to her, and she doesn't mind the diesel!

So what is the turnkey (the numbers/the works) in total out of pocket for the 24 mo. deal......including all taxes?
