Mercedes-Benz lease deals in Orange County: what to check before you sign

What a lease special really is

A lease special describes one car, one term, one mileage allowance and one amount due at signing, offered to buyers who qualify for the best credit tier. It is a starting point. The payment you get depends on the exact trim and options, your miles, your credit approval, and what the store adds or discounts.

What moves your actual numbers

Four things decide most of a Mercedes-Benz lease:

• The selling price of the exact car, before any cost reduction
• The money factor and residual that Mercedes-Benz Financial Services sets for the month
• Fees and add-ons, each of which should be on its own line
• How much you put down, and whether it is a real cost reduction or just prepaid payments

Compare stores on the same car

Orange County has several franchised Mercedes-Benz stores. Ask each for the same written breakdown on the same car, then compare. A lower payment from one store can hide a larger amount due at signing, so compare the total over the term, not only the monthly number.

We do the same thing for customers: ask several stores for the same lines and put the offers in one place. The current Mercedes-Benz deals we have are on our deals page, and anything not listed there we quote on request.
