Mercedes-Benz Rising Star Program

Mercedes-Benz offers a special program, reserved for new college graduates, called the Mercedes-Benz Rising Star program. This program is designed to help grads start their professional lives successfully behind the wheel of a new or certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz. The program makes it easier to get approval for financing or leasing up to $45,000 through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.* An excellent way to build credit with flexible and competitive finance and lease packages, the Mercedes-Benz Rising Star program is a great choice for any new grad. To qualify, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Have graduated from an accredited four-year college, graduate program or nursing degree program within the last 24 months
  • Provide a copy of diploma or official transcripts
  • Provide proof of income, such as last three months of bank statements or most recent pay stub
  • Have a minimum of 24 months of established credit
