My Take: Looks like MB decided to drop their money factors on some of the 2011 Cs this month. That’s great news for those who stuck it out until this month. I think the rates could use some more dropping before taking the plunge though. I know you always run the runs of losing residual value, but I think the MF could use some dropping. MBZ is also known to throw cash rebates at their cars during holiday seasons, so I think we might see something sweet this coming Winter. Of course, this is all speculation, so don’t flame me if I am wrong. But do praise me if I am right!!

Lease rates provided by LeaseCompare.com
Thanks G. It looks like the 2010 E sedans have $3000 cash, while the C300 and C350 have $4100 and $4500 cash to dealer. My local dealer is hanging tags in their E sedans with the $3k already taken off the TrueCar average price value. I guess it is still a decent deal, but I would want them to come down a little more and then take the cash incentive off.
G – Do you know whether the $4100 cash to dealer marketing support is applicable in a lease deal with the above posted rates? or is it only applicable on a purchase (it can’t be combined with the special APR)? I suspect the answer is “no, it doesn’t apply to leases”, but it can’t hurt to ask. Thanks much!

I believe the marketing cash is for the 2010s and MBZ usually allows them on leases unless otherwise noted. 2010s are on clearance mode dealers are probably using the cash to move them out of the lots. As for the posted lease rates, they are for 2011 models which do not have any marketing cash available. You will probably need to ask the dealer about the 2010 lease rates since I can’t find those.
