Only need to recover wiring cost if you don't think your future cars will be EV's.
Looks similar to the $299 deal with higher upfronts. I thought they wanted to get rid of the 2014s.
For yucks, I heard from a friend that BMW is having trouble getting rid of their i3s and that some dealers are offering below their cost to get rid of. Of course, it is completely different than our Bes. In this case, I don't see them getting rid of under their cost, perhaps at cost with an assumed residual.

SF - that sounds quite good... WAGging here - looks like 20% off MSRP, I assume a 24/10000 lease with a 53% residual, and .000125 MF - or a rebate or three tossed in to make those numbers work? Correct me if my wild -- guesses are off... Who might be tossing these deals out there

In the past, I have gotten 18% off MSRP when I bought a MB leftover. So if you add the $7500 tax credit off on top of it, they could go lower. If I do the math in my head on a $47,500 car, they technically could go zero down and $269 without feeling any pain. Hence my earlier remark that they have not resorted to giving away below cost like the BMW dealer was saying.

@zony: this is 10k/year for 36 months with .46 residual.
It does not seem the charge sales tax on the $7500.

SF... nicely done! Is your dealer in SF, SJC, or more East Bay?
Thanks for the info and have fun!

Z: My dealer is in SoCal. Just picked up the car today. All negotiations are done via emails. I just had to come in to sign the papers and picked up the car.
I learned that some dealer offers $9K or more off in addition to the $7500 tax incentives but they charges other bogus fees and made the drive off and down payment higher.

I confirmed yesterday that MB in Manhattan still has several 2014s to sell or lease, including the electric blue one that refuses to sell. They are owned by MB so perhaps more willing to deal. If you are interested, drop by to see Deborah M in electric car sales. PM me if you need more info.

Friends and Family announced for left over 2014's in the North East region. Maybe anyone can be a "friend" for a day. For a $45,000 sticker price: $795 plus first payment down, plus tax and tags, $199/ month for 36/ 10,000.
On the surface, $199 is lower than $299. However, the car I bought had higher than $45K sticker price. So with the magic of high finance, for a $48.6K MSRP, That would either be $795 down and $299 a month or $4395 down and $199 a month or thereabouts. So for the car I leased during Black Friday sale, I could have saved $1K+ by waiting. I have 900 miles on it so in my gas guzzler that would be 90 gallons at $2.50 or $270 bucks. Oh well.
Nevertheless another sign that they have to unload the 2014s.

For a $49,000 B Class the new deal should be about $795, first payment, tax, tags and $ 259/ month.
These deals seem to vary by region as well, EV's are more common in Cali than here in the NYC area so west coast folks may not see the same incentives or dealer motivation.
I've never seen a B on the road in NY or CT (though I see Teslas daily).
My final deal was:
Sticker $50,270
Gross cap cost $33,926
Depreciation $11,304 (12k per year, not 10k)
Rent charge $610 (0.59% interest)
Buy out $22,621
Base monthy payment $330
With tax $352
Final down payment was $1899
I had it all set up for 10k a year and for $14 a month or something like that I took the 12k per year during the final signing. They don't encourage it, MB makes out much better if you were to go over those 6k miles at $0.25 per.
It was a rough first week with the car and only the emergency trickle charger, now that I'm pushing 40a in with a JESLA things are good.

Just finalized a deal out here in SoCal. Maybe could have saved some cash by waiting through next week but oh well. Leased a B class for 36 months /10k with premium, multimedia, and range package, msrp $49720 for $1542 drive off (including 1st month's payment) and $376 a month after taxes (9% here). MB took $9121 off plus the federal rebate of $7500. MF was .00053. I did notice an acquisition fee of $1095 which I wanted to negotiate but the wife was pretty set on the range option and since there aren't that many B classes with this option in SoCal I pulled the trigger. Very happy with the car thus far and will be happier to get my $2500 state rebate check in the mail. Thanks for the great info on this forum!
