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!

Mercedes-Benz Financial iPhone App

Mercedes-Benz Financial has just introduced their own iPhone application. It's available at the iTunes App Store for free to any Mercedes-Benz Financial customer who has an active account on MercedesBenzFinancial.com. With this app you'll be able to make your payment, request a current payoff, and view your account details. Users with and without a current Mercedes-Benz Financial account will be able to take advantage of the dealer locator and the ability to browse current lease and finance sepecials.

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!

European Delivery

The Factory at Sindelfingen

Have you heard about the European Delivery Program (EDP)? This program allows you to pick up your custom ordered vehicle directly from the factory in Germany! You then get to drive it anywhere in Europe for up to 2 weeks and simply drop it off at one of 12 locations to be shipped right to the dealership for you to pick up again.

Not only do they not charge extra for this program, you get a discount! C, E, CLK, SLK, CLS and SL-Classes can be purchased with a 7% discount from MSRP! S-Class and AMG vehicles can be picked up via EDP as well, with special approval, at MSRP.

If you were thinking of traveling to Germany anyway, or would love the full Mercedes experience, I am sure you would love European Delivery! Mercedes just launched a new virtual tour that is very informative (and enticing). Let's plan your next vacation!
