Range wise would I regret going from an EQS 450 4matic SUV to this? I live in NM so I am at higher elevation.

Just got an email from a local dealer basically begging me to come in and pick one up. The price is still stupid but the tide is definitely turning.

The problem with this car is it’s a far worse vehicle than EVs that are 1/4 the cost

that’s the wrong way to look at it – its purely a stunt machine – has no use or purpose

This a cheapie’s dream – stunt a g wagon for the cost of Acura mdx type s

Mercedes-Benz would never let that happen, but one can dream!

I bet Mercedes didn’t think people would be leasing the prized “electric s class” for $199 per month either

They aren’t selling, literally nobody is buying them, it’s not really a secret either. They have no target market at all, none. Who is the target for this car? The only people even remotely interested are the ones looking for a deal. I understand you can only work with the hand you’re dealt, but the G580 def isn’t the hill to die on.

But deep down it’s still a hog.

I quoted someone an $88k one pay on a 48/7500 mi lease. That felt wrong.

lol. I’d assume most good brokers know this is something (at least rn) they really don’t want to be involved with. Low volume and currently wildly overpriced.

I just offer clients what they ask for me
not my job to tell u “dont pay me”

That post is considered satire.

Those expecting a firesale on a low supply Mercedes are day dreaming. There is no way Merc will taint their iconic G wagen’s name to save insignificant money. They will do some accounting magic and write off some development costs then move on.

Sorry - didn’t intend to link to a specific post, just the thread.
