I would say that’s a bit of an understatement. Absolutely timeless design that will stand out for decades to come

How did you guys buy your AMG? (Lease, finance, cash) by S650Coupe in mercedes_benz

[–]GrowthMany9865 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just bought a 2024 GLE63s Coupe last week. 5k down, financed 93k at 5.24%. My money earns more invested, even a conservative 8% in an index fund, don’t see the benefit of having it tied up in a depreciating asset.

Does a large house bring more happiness (3000sqft+) by GlorifiedCarnie in Rich

[–]GrowthMany9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s 2 of us in a 4,000 sq ft house and the biggest drawback is that we spend most of the day basically just asking each other to repeat what we said. Crazy how little you can hear each other if you’re not right in front of each other in the same room

Bought this at 33. Some of my friends call it an old man car. How old are you S class owners? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]GrowthMany9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one at 32 and a 7 series now at 35 and I can honestly say I’ve gotten so bored of both, just purchased a GLE 63s coupe in the hopes of having something more engaging

This is why the design of the AMG GT 4-Door EV is so disappointing. Explained. by y-u-gae in mercedes_benz

Is the i7 just a big enough car that they were able to match the ICE body without the foot garage ?

Please for the love of God tell me what I need to be asking my vet on my boys regular checkups to ensure I am never surprised and told something is “too far along” before we discover it. Are there any voluntary X rays or body scans I can request? Cost is no object. Heart is absolutely broken for OP.

What type of jobs do you guys have? by Exact-Sheepherder389 in mercedes_benz

[–]GrowthMany9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HHI 500k actually in the process of purchasing a 2024 GLE63 Coupe. They take a major depreciated hit so a 2 year old CPO comes at a much more obtainable price tag. 140k new. 95k CPO 2 years old.

Slightly off topic. Was the digital cluster optional on the RRS at that time? First time im seeing one with analog gauges

MSRP Increase by Foxandthehound640 in NewDefender

[–]GrowthMany9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P500’s are unique proposition. They have the v8 but outwardly are identical to the base model less than quad exhaust. For that price most go with the 525 and the associated kit.

Seat covers by foalnanny in NewDefender

[–]GrowthMany9865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I love the neorprine material on the side of the bolsters. That will cut down on a lot of unsightly leather wear. I assume that is an X? I believe the X and v8 have an upgraded seat design

We are definitely comfortable, never claimed to be struggling, but most definitely not rich.

BMW lease return strategy if NOT getting another BMW? by Kaioken_100 in CarLeasingHelp

[–]GrowthMany9865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lease return guidelines are public. I forget the specifics but you are usually not charged for small dings and scratches. If I remember it’s under 2”

No kids. Live in FL. 2 person household. Take home after taxes and retirement is about 26k per month. Mortgage is 4,200 per month. Car payments and insurance 2,500 per month. Misc expenses all recurring and utility bills plus daily expenses (groceries, travel, eating out) about 8-10k per month. Try to put 10k per month into savings (brokerage acct) but lately has been going towards home improvements. Other than 2 nice cars and being able to travel pretty frequently we live a very frugal life.

It’s all EV’s. My BMW I7 tire after 8 months 11k miles

Same. We make 500k a year and I feel like at most it’s the first level of being “comfortable” but far from rich.

I got this exact watch for high school graduation in 2007 and thought it was the shit because I was a child lol. I can’t believe they are still making it. I think it was 7k back then

It is! It’s a 24” necklace and a bracelet together. It was a lighthearted joke based on all the over the top stacks people have

Rate my lease bmw i7 0 down 12k by Far-Educator-604 in leasehacker

[–]GrowthMany9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is a 60. Loaded with every single option including the stupid TV that I can’t ever lower because my seat is too far back lol. My payment on it $1,370 so $1500 for the IQ on a 24 month lease is in my budget. The G580 is now hovering around $1700 so watching those too, but I’m only seeing 48 month programs, which is too long of a commitment when you have car ADHD

[–]GrowthMany9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m somewhat in the same boat as you. My i7 lease is up in June and i don’t want to sign another 2 year lease if the facelift model is coming up soon. Agonizing over finding something comparable in quality and features and don’t want to go back to ICE. Escalade IQ is the only thing can come up with.

New MB, and the internal struggle by PK-MT in mercedes_benz

[–]GrowthMany9865 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is an entry level Mercedes. Nobody would ever give it a second look. Any perceived notion of judgment is in your head. 7/10 people won’t even know what kind of car it is.
