The Mercedes-Benz Winter Event continues through January 3rd! There are special programs for just about everyone to take advantage of this month. We have Loyalty Programs and Conquest Programs, many Fleet incentives have doubled, and the finance and lease programs are very attractive! Don’t wait until the last minute to get in touch. A lot of the most popular vehicles and options will be hard to find towards the end of the month. Shop early! I’ll tuck it away for you until you are ready to take it home!

Mercedes-Benz Fleet Program has been working with USAA to offer discounts to members for several months now. It is an excellent opportunity for USAA members to get a special discount on a Mercedes-Benz.

It has been a successful program for both parties but it is scheduled to end on June 30th, 2010. USAA members will not be able to get a Mercedes-Benz Control Number after that date, although Control Numbers issued before that date will be honored for their full 60 day validity.

If you have been meaning to take advantage of this program…now is the time!

Mercedes-Benz USA and Mercedes-Benz Financial have announced the Indirect Customer Purchase (ICP) program. Through this program you can turn in your lease to the dealership, we can buy it from Mercedes-Benz Financial at a price lower than or equal to your residual value, and then sell it back to you. The benefit to you is that we can also send it through the shop to become a Certified Pre-Owned car before we sell it back to you. That way you get any needed repairs, a 100,000 mile warranty and qualify for any special Certified finance rates. This is a fantastic deal! I’ve had so many clients over the years that would have loved to do this!

In short:
Turn in your lease
We buy it for less than you can (ideally)
We get it spruced up/Certified
You buy it from us
You get a Certified Pre-Owned car that you love, for less, with more warranty!

You can choose the dealership that you want to work with for this program. It does not have to be the dealership where you bought the vehicle originally. If you are in the Atlanta area, I would be happy to handle the process!

There will be a 36 month lease at about $140 more per month than an ML350 4matic. The other option is a 60 month lease, which includes a 5 year, 100,000 mile warranty, that will be about $85 more per month than the comparable ML350.

The ML450 Hybrid is a VERY limited production vehicle. If you are interesting getting one you should act soon to secure a production spot.
