Am I able to adjust the MSRP field before calculating a payment?
To be consistent, all calculations use MSRP. The Build Your Own process within the Mercedes-Benz web site (MBUSA.com) allows you to adjust the MSRP by selecting your own vehicle colors and options.
Is a security deposit needed if I decide to lease a Mercedes-Benz?
It's not required. However, Mercedes-Benz Financial does offer a Multiple Security Deposit program which allows you to lower your monthly payments by including up to 1 refundable security deposit in your lease (not available in all states).
Why is the payment quoted by the Mercedes-Benz Dealer different than the one quoted by the estimator?
The estimator uses MSRP as the selling price and doesn't include taxes. The Mercedes-Benz Dealer may or may not sell the car for MSRP and may use a different rate. Payments quoted on the estimator are for sample purposes only.
