Oddbean new post about login | logout 2016 with 47k miles. Basically fully loaded. We got it after somebody’s 3yr lease right before COVID. Crazy how much they depreciate. Paid half MSRP, it had 29k miles. It was our weekend car, then we had a child. So it’s now my car to take golfing as the RX has the car seat. lol.
German luxury sedans have a parabolic depreciation. Are you inclined to work on the car yourself? That S550 mechanic tax has to be high. These cars are insanely complicated.
Sorry, just saw this. We rarely drive it, so hasn’t needed much work. Good friend was a Mercedes mechanic at our local dealership and he opened up his own shop several years ago. So have him for any future big ticket items. I’ve been trying to tell my fiance to get rid of it. Almost talked her into it during COVID when use car prices were really high. Now she wants to trade it in for a GLE Coupe SUV. Trying to talk her out of another Mercedes.
