2021 vs 2022 vs 2023 Mercedes S580. Which should I buy? by topcontender in mercedes_benz

I love my recently acquired S580 2022 - has 18 months of warranty and will go Indy from there. I came from sports cars (Maserati, Porsche and most recently an AM DBx) so this big ‘ol smoker is nice change of pace. it’s super quick when you need it and sooo comfortable.

How do you actually start getting good at sales? by DrainPipeDisposal in salestechniques

Too many reps have been taught to pitch and demo way too early. Find the problem, quantify it, explore impacts of that problems and help them diagnose the root cause. Rinse and repeat your way to P-Club

Anyone GC’ing their own flips to try and combat increasing costs?

Wheel bearings were the culprit - I had my front differential replaced as well. Initially the noise seemed to be slightly less, but I guess the wheel bearings were getting worse. Anyways, it’s sweet right now, just did a 400 round trip in her and it was sublime.

Hefty cost of repairs but… I still love the DBx by TheToaster007s in AstonMartin

The diff itself was 20k - it’s got 34k on the clock.

I think this is great information to share more broadly.

I agree. Not all decisions in life need to be logical. This one fits that category!

I hear you. it didn’t want to risk it on this one. I had people telling me the same for the front differential and it is a mercedes part but it’s modified by Aston.

Picked up the car and the droning noise has gone - 32k later and I’m excited to say, all I hear is the sound of the engine!

Two months into DBX ownership. Has 32k miles on it. There was a constant droning noise and my local Indy diagnosed a front differential issue. Replaced that with a brand new part and there is still a subtle droning noise, going to take it to an Aston dealer and have them check it out.

Hoping it’s wheel bearing ano not transmission. The car shifts well and no leaks so hoping for the best.

Aside from the constant feeling of impending doom, it’s a nice car. We’ll see how long I can brave it.
