WHAT IS YOUR CAR WORTH?
Sell your Mercedes-Benz or Mercedes-Benz lease in Los Angeles and Burbank
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services doesn't apply one fixed rule on third-party lease buyouts the way some captive lenders do. What you're allowed to do can depend on the specific account and where it's serviced. Rather than guess, IMX pulls your actual payoff and buys the car either way, C-Class, GLC, E-Class, or otherwise, owned or leased, from our buying center in Burbank.
How do I sell my Mercedes-Benz in Burbank or LA?
- Get a free estimate online, or call with your VIN and mileage.
- Bring the car in for a fifteen-minute inspection. If it's a lease, we contact Mercedes-Benz Financial for your exact payoff at the same time.
- Sign, and leave with a check you can cash or deposit that day.
Selling one you own outright works the same way, minus the payoff step. See our full sell your car page.
Have your VIN and mileage ready? We'll quote a range before you drive in.
Call (818) 303-0800Can I sell my leased Mercedes-Benz?
Yes. Mercedes-Benz Financial Services handles third-party buyout requests differently depending on the account, so we don't tell you in advance whether yours is restricted or open. We pull the actual payoff quote and buy the lease regardless, paying off the lender directly and handing you the equity. You never take ownership of the car yourself. Our lease buyout page covers how this compares to brands with a firmer restriction, plus the California tax rule that applies when you sell instead of buying out.
How much is my Mercedes-Benz worth?
Equity is what we'll pay minus your remaining payoff. It depends more on the specific model, trim, and lease date than on the brand generally. We pull the live payoff and appraise the actual car, then show you both numbers rather than a rough guess.
Do I owe California tax when I sell my Mercedes-Benz lease?
Not if you sell it to us. A self-buyout would trigger California use tax on the residual, roughly 7.75 to 10.25 percent depending on your county. Selling the lease to a dealer shifts that tax to us instead. Full explanation with the code sections is on the lease buyout page.

- Does Mercedes-Benz Financial allow a third party to buy out my lease?
- It depends on the specific account and region, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services doesn't apply one blanket rule the way some lenders do. IMX pulls the actual payoff on your lease and buys the car regardless of which way that policy runs for you.
- How do I find out if my lease is affected?
- You don't need to find out in advance. Bring the car in or call with your lease account details and we'll pull the real payoff quote and tell you exactly where you stand.
- How much equity is typical on a Mercedes-Benz lease?
- It depends on the model and when the lease was signed. We appraise the actual car and pull the live payoff so you get a real number, not a general estimate.
- What do I need to bring?
- Your license, the car, your lease account number or a recent statement, and both keysets if you have them.
- How fast do I get paid?
- The same day, after about fifteen minutes for the inspection.
