Mercedes-Benz Enhanced Loyalty Accelerator Program - Premium to Core

Also, the maturity date requirement has been removed from all of the Loyalty Accelerator Programs. Your lease no longer has to mature in calendar year 2010 for you to take advantage of this program.

Purchase Your Off-Lease Mercedes from Atlanta Classic Cars!

Many of my clients, at the end of their lease, have looked into purchasing their own vehicle. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the residual value is too high compared to market value. Sometimes a Certified Pre-Owned car with extended warranty and special finance rates is a better deal. Now I can offer you the best of both worlds - you can keep your own car AND get the Pre-Owned specials!

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!

USAA Joins the Mercedes-Benz Fleet Program for Member Discounts

Mercedes-Benz partners with hundreds of companies to offer fleet dicounts to executives and employees. Effective July 1, USAA members are now qualified to receive these discounts!

USAA members will be asked to download a program form from the website and provide the dealership with a current USAA membership card, USAA insurance card or USAA loan documents.

Fleet discounts can be applied to the lease or purchase of any 2009 or 2010 Mercedes-Benz vehicle. These discounts vary from model to model and range from $1000-$5000 currently. These discounts can be combined with other lease and finance special offers from Mercedes-Benz USA.

I look forward to working with many more active, former and retired military as a result of this program!

Mercedes-Benz Lease Turn-In Fee Waiver

At the end of any lease there is a turn-in fee, or disposition fee, that is charged by the manufacturer to offset the cost of reconditioning the vehicle for resale. This fee has always been waived by Mercedes-Benz Financial when you go into a new lease on a new car with them.

It is just been announced that this fee will now be waived if you lease or finance any new or used vehicle with Mercedes-Benz Financial! This change in policy will save you about $595 at the end of your lease. Beginning May 18th, the waiver will be done automatically. Until then, you will need to contact the lease-end department directly to request the waiver at 800 737 6222.

Thanks Mercedes-Benz Financial!

Stimulus Bill - New Car Tax Deduction

As part of the recent stimulus bill you can now deduct the taxes that you pay on a new car purchase. If you have been on the fence about purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes versus a new one this may help make that decision. Since most of our models will max out the $49,500 of purchase price that can be used for this deduction, residents of Gwinnett County (6% sales tax) can expect a maximum deduction of $2,970. This deduction is not avaliable for leased vehicles. If you're looking at purchasing a new Mercedes here is an outline of this deduction.

What taxes are deductible?

• State Motor Vehicle Sales
• Local Motor Vehicle Sales
• Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes

What Customers qualify for the deduction?

• Individual customers with modified adjusted gross income of less than $125,000 or joint filers making less than $250,000 a year in 2009 would qualify for the deduction.
• Deductible as in "above the line" (for itemizers and non-itemizers) deduction on federal tax return.

Effective Date

• New vehicle purchases shall apply to purchase on or after the date of enactment (February 17, 2009) until December 31, 2009.

What New Vehicles Qualify for the Deduction?

• Any new vehicle UNDER 8,500 gross vehicle weight.
• New vehicles of any model year - when the original use commences with the taxpayer.
• Any vehicle sold for under $49,500 qualifies for the FULL deduction. Consumers may deduct sales taxes on the first $49,500 of any vehicle sold above this price.

This is a Generalized Summary. Tax savings will depend on one's individual tax rate. For more specific information on eligible customers, taxes, and applicability, dealers are encouraged to consult with an accountant or tax professional.
