Even if there is no residual change, I doubt there is anything you can do at this point except enjoy your car and don't worry about it. Maybe it's worth asking given the timing (Apr 1) but I wouldn't expect too much. Good luck. |
So I did speak with my dealership about the new lease rates (I had to try, right?) and true enough, MB Canada did lower lease rates, but also reduced residuals. My sales rep did say as well that we might not have gotten away with the price adjustments that we worked out if we went with their new offer.
Moral of the story is stop looking at deals AFTER you've made a purchase!
I DO enjoy the B200 though. Really glad we made the decision.
Cheers!!!
