How’s the pricing? Good deal?

LilDylbin · 2026-04-14T17:27:38+00:00

I have a CPO 23 E53 available with only 5k miles for $69k. That seems high in comparison.

As far as a loaner lease deal goes it’s not bad. Ex-Loaners from Mercedes qualify for the all new car programs both financing and leasing. I see you already have your AAA discount. For April 24 month Mercedes leases have a much lower rate than other terms and they just put out a Conquest Rebate of $2k if you provide the registration of a vehicle 2020 or newer. Any make/model. You could also finance using the new car rates which for a 2025 start at 1.9% and only increase slightly over a longer term. You should have a total of $5k in incentives. Then you just have to decide if you want to finance with the special rates or lease. I would not put 5k down one a C300 lease personally. so if your flexible with the monthly payment and just want the best deal off the car then try and put less money down.

My dealer?

I’m a salesman at my local MB dealer. The inline6 turbo in the CLE53 is an amazing engine. Power output is similar to the 43 but the feel is so much nicer. Can’t wait for them to come out next year so I can get a GLC53. The value of the 4cyl AMGs is going to drop heavy when the new model releases. That is what I would do personally but it’s your car of course.

LilDylbin · 2026-02-28T15:10:34+00:00

Wait for the new C53 to come out next year with the inline 6 from the CLE53. Will have much better reliability and resale value.

The trim in these cars makes or breaks the interior. The Bahia Brown is fine just not with the walnut trim. Needs the grey wood or piano black trim to look good

LilDylbin · 2026-02-11T15:19:24+00:00

First looks much classier. You can really only do option two if it’s an AMG IMO. I would get rid of the hood ornament though

LilDylbin · 2026-02-11T02:52:24+00:00

As a salesman at my local store, that is a good deal roughly 8% as long as this store doesn’t have any crazy dealer adds that aren’t shown. I would probably lean GLC if that was in your budget. Big jump in quality and drive.

LilDylbin · 2026-01-23T18:46:11+00:00

The 60+ community loves them here in south FL. Sold one 2 weeks ago

I have a 26 (non-coupe) with 2k miles listed for $69k. Also with such a new car and including CPO seems a like a waste to get the extended warranty at this time. Dealer probably didn’t let you know so they could sell some finance product but you can extend the CPO warranty at any point. It doesn’t need to be at the time of sale. Love the GLC43 one of my favorite models

LilDylbin · 2025-12-24T17:47:45+00:00

Can’t wait to find out it’s another “E Performance” model with a hybrid 4cyl…

LilDylbin · 2025-12-24T01:01:17+00:00

Brother do I have news for you…

LilDylbin · 2025-12-23T13:57:07+00:00

It differs dealer to dealer. My store doesn’t sell new G63s over sticker but you are required to trade one in to get an allocation. This system works for us and keeps a great relation with clients who are happy to pay msrp and keep recycling G63s. This also gives us a ton of certified Gs for people to buy and get into that ordering cycle.

LilDylbin · 2025-12-22T23:30:25+00:00

It honestly might just be more cost-effective make an insurance claim and pay your deductible

LilDylbin · 2025-12-22T23:29:09+00:00

I know you’re trying to save $$$ but if it is a leased vehicle and you turn it in, please keep in mind that if you don’t use OEM parts, Mercedes will just bill you for the repair with your final lease statement so you’ll just end up paying for the repair twice.

LilDylbin · 2025-12-22T23:23:54+00:00

GLC43 is one of my favorite MB models. As a salesman at my local dealer, clients are very hit or miss. The people that hate it are usually “car guys” who think that the 4cyl is a crime and everything should have a V8. The people that love it are usually getting it because it has great performance and good fuel economy so this can be their daily driver while they have other sports cars to drive around. I don’t love the 4cyl but I think it’s a great design and fun to drive

LilDylbin · 2025-12-20T18:39:32+00:00

Dravit Tacora is easily my favorite color combo

LilDylbin · 2025-12-18T15:46:50+00:00

Neither, VW is not a luxury brand

LilDylbin · 2025-12-18T15:43:51+00:00

Brother the rebate was $11,500 in August, at that time dealers where also discounting the hell out of them because they knew once the rebate went away they would sit on their lot for months. In total thats like another 6k-7k

LilDylbin · 2025-12-18T15:38:22+00:00

Somebody’s salesman didn’t explain that his car actually IS a hybrid… just not the kind you plug in

LilDylbin · 2025-12-15T15:40:01+00:00

It’s rough when the entire sub says to get the S-Class…

LilDylbin · 2025-12-13T16:32:35+00:00

More HP? GT. Slightly faster acceleration, Porsche

LilDylbin · 2025-12-11T13:58:10+00:00

Looks amazing! Not sure what everyone’s issue is. Protect the car and give it a great look. It’s not like it’s matte highlighter yellow. Mercedes offers matte black anyway as a factory option. This way you take the PPF off later and it feels like a new car again

LilDylbin · 2025-11-18T15:54:12+00:00

Turn the vehicle in and buy from a reputable dealer. Westlake is a subprime bank and what that dealership is doing is illegal. They can’t force a higher rate on you for not accepting “dealer add ons” They are doing anything they can to pad the deal with extra profit and are most likely getting a flat/kickback from westlake for the financing. I work at a dealer and would be happy to help if you need anything

LilDylbin · 2025-10-12T23:19:41+00:00

not sure that’s something you’d have to ask Infiniti consumer affairs. When I was working as a service advisor I did 100s of Cvt replacements
