Been passively looking to dump our Model Y LR7 (aren’t we all…). Did some tire kicking with an EQE SUV but was too small and felt like I was driving a GLC. Saw Sam from @EVKingsPlus post a strong deal on an EQS SUV. Normally I’d hack it myself with so many great EQS examples on this forum but life has been crazy. Plus EQS loaners are not that common in my market (DC) where I have dealer connections. Passed on the one he posted but he fought the good fight to find me one and grind the price down to bare bones. Since it was out of New York (that’s all I will reveal to respect Sam and his connections), I had to do a one pay to drive the MF down. We have high tax on the monthly here in Washington DC (10.25%) so that hurts a bit but in the end can’t complain! I can confirm it’s meh on the outside but the interior and everything else is gorgeous and so well engineered. Happy to be out of a Tesla and back in a MB (former MB hacks pre Tesla are here and here).

I do know of an identical spec one (loaner) in the mid-Atlantic that a dealer will move for ~$800 + tax pm on a 24/7.5k pre MSD with first at sign if someone is interested.
