GLE63s Wait or Buy now?

I was quoted for ~ 115ish for a 24 gle63 with 4k miles, I heard the new refresh will come by the end of 2025, I don’t know any news about it yet like how the interior will change? Will it go PHEV? I haven’t seen any news on the 63 please let me know if I should negotiate the price down. Thank you

Pre purchase inspection

Is it recommended to do a pre purchase inspection on a 2019 E class from a private mechanic or directly from a Mercedes Benz dealership?

Can I do anything about this?

So just yesterday I traded in my 2020 Camry which they offered me $15,500 for a 2022 GLB 250 which was listed at $28,769. I still owed $7,650 and with the equity I was able to put down about $7,880 plus I put down an extra $2,000 cash totaling $9,880 as my down payment. This is probably where I messed up, which was not being pre approved form my bank for a loan. My problem is that I only realized this morning that I signed a contract for a $12,000+ finance fee that basically deemed my trade in completely worthless.

I saw the car online yesterday morning (day after thanksgiving), went to test drive it and ended up making the trade. I probably should not have gone to the dealership by myself as I don’t have much experience in this. I went to House of Imports in Buena Park which is a Mercedes-Benz dealership owned by Auto Nation.

They have this 5 day / 500 mile policy for exchanging it or something and of course, I’m gonna go over that tonight. However, am I screwed completely on this or anyone know of how I can get out from under it?

Looking to buy my first Mercedes

As the title says, looking to pop my cherry.

I want a convertible and I want it fast. My budget is around $50k.

Would prefer a naturally aspirated hardtop but that's not a requirement. I drove a 2009 s63 and was disappointed by the acceleration. Recently rented a 2017 c300 and preferred it's zip much more.

Please help!

New Car burnt smell normal?

Bought a new 2025 GLC 300. Ever since I started to drive around, I noticed a plastic burning smell coming off mostly of the exhaust after a drive or even changing it to sports mode. It has been fading off mostly day by day but still after turning off the car sometimes smells. Car performs well and everything is okay. Today marked the 100 miles on it. Is this normal or should Intake it to the dealership?

Help me decide on whether or not I should buy a USED Mercedes

Hi everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. I live in Ontario, Canada and I am in the market looking for my FIRST EVER CAR! I am a 23-year-old and have a decent job. I wanted to know what kind of used Mercedes with what mileage would be a nice deal. I have a budget of 40K CAD. I will mostly be financing the car but I don't mind it as long as its reliable. I will take care of the car like a baby lmao! I just need to know if I can get the right one for at least 5 years!

Thank you!

New Sprinter needs bodywork. Need advice.

I bought a brand new sprinter last year. I put about $50k into it to turn it into an RV. Quite a professional build I did on it.

Long story short I had some issues with the DEF system over the summer and it was at the dealer for a month but that’s another issue.

I had some issues with the rear door latch being stripped out from the factory and I couldn’t use the rear doors for the first year while I was building it and living in it for the summer.

I finally brought it back to the dealer I bought it from and they had to pull the drivers side rear door, replace it and paint it.

This is my third MB Sprinter I converted and I finally bought a brand new one because I like new and nice things. The dealer sent me a picture of the rear door since someone backed into the van and bent my 1up bike rack which I still haven’t heard back with what they did about it…..

Anyway. I noticed in the picture the color is way off. I don’t like the fact that I bought a brand new van and have to get a door replaced with 2500 miles on the van and now the color is way off. I went out there when they were closed a few days ago and saw the paint job in person and in my opinion it’s terrible.

What can I do about this. I’ve had quite a bad experience with MB at this point between the van being down for a month this summer with the DEF issues, the rear door fiasco and also I found 4 large bolts under the hood when they worked on my van over the summer that they didn’t put back where it came from. I emailed MB about the bolts and the van being down for a month, and I spoke to them on the phone. They didn’t seem to care at all about it or even offer a free service.

Now that my brand new $70k van has a mismatched door when it’s practically brand new is really pissing me off.

WHAT CAN I DO?!?

$7500 lease cash

I have a GLE on order but won’t be in until Jan. I don’t know if the $7500 lease cash will be around then. Does anyone know what MB typically do in January? If it doesn’t have the lease cash, I’ll prob pass.

Will a CLA250, 73k miles last me a year without a headache?

Pretty much what the title says. I want to buy a 2018 CLA250 with 73k miles, clean CarMax report and 2 previous owners for $19k. I am planning to sell it next time this year. Will I be able to drive it for 10-15k miles without much headache? I am currently driving a 2021 C300 and I love it but the lease is up and I really really want to drive a CLA250. I prefer the look of it. Please advise. I’m just a girl and understand nothing in cars.

S500 '99 300.00km

Hello people, I'm looking at a S500 from '99 with 300,000km as a potential purchase. The vehicle has a Mercedes service book and the current TÜV was also carried out in the authorized workshop. What should I pay attention to or what would you advise me?

Coolant level low warning for my C300 2020

I recently received a warning indicating that my car's coolant level is low. I live in Cleveland, where the weather is quite cold right now. Initially, I thought the issue might be due to the car sitting idle for about five days, causing the coolant to freeze or contract due to the cold. However, I noticed that the coolant level returned to normal 10-20 minutes after I started driving the car. Despite this, I received a call from Mercedes informing me that the coolant level was indeed low. What steps should I take?
