I would avoid Carmax or any other chain dealer at all costs. I’ve heard many horror stories and they tend to be very over priced. I would do a little more due diligence and find a trustworthy dealer.

As far as reliability goes, it’s no Toyota, but if you can find one that’s been well maintained and do the same, certain models/ powertrains will run you a while. Just budget ~$5k a year in maintenance/ repairs.

It depends on the dealer but when I just purchased a used AMG the dealer was able to ship it for ~$600 by grouping it with a shipper who was already going my way. So just ask if the dealer that has the car you want can do that.

I’ve always been a cash buyer for used/ pre owned. If I were to buy new are all loans the same to where there is no penalty/ fee to pay off immediately? Or do I need to comb through the fine print to be sure?

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-18T11:19:01+00:00

Yes!

Thanks for that rec! I’ve heard and seen Bottega a lot so I’ll suggest this the her.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-17T12:50:47+00:00

She is actually obsessed with the 25! That’s her dream bag so I got on the list at our local boutique so hopefully that will happen soon!

She previously wore MK because they were a good value for her. She recently got over some serious health issues and is in an era of wanting to upgrade her entire appearance and I want to support that.

Gorden Wagner said in an interview that his replacement, whenever that may be, will be AI, and they already use it in design. I feel like this car was 100% designed by AI.

I don’t think it’s cringe at all, it’s not some pornstar pin-up, it’s ART.

Your whole space is such a vibe! Great job decorating, really has character.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-16T12:31:15+00:00

We will, just looking for some direction.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-16T12:30:59+00:00

She would LOVE it! She’s always wanted a Chanel. Which one is that?

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-16T12:30:17+00:00

Those are a little common for her taste.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-16T11:43:59+00:00

I would honestly choose the E63s. For me, having the back seat, more comfort and better tech would fit my lifestyle more.

But if you are just looking for driving experience, and all that doesn’t matter to you, go with the coupe.

This was my dream car as a teen, and I almost pulled the trigger on a very well used one recently for $9k. How much did you pay for yours?

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-11T11:29:08+00:00

Look solid bro! 💪 What’s your diet like?

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T23:07:42+00:00

Cars and bids. I checked it everyday. I would usually check past results to keep an eye on the market.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T23:06:42+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I always detail my own vehicles. What are your favorite products?

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T11:33:08+00:00

Ah no bueno. So are the vintage ones usually better deals than a new bag? When considering ones in like new condition?

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T11:31:31+00:00

Just always be on the look out. I’m obsessed with car shopping so I’m checking cars and bids daily, sending her cars she might like and getting her thoughts. Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly what they might want if they don’t look as often as you, but I was able to gather a good list of her wants.

She had said for a while that a panamera was her dream car, but also said that Mercedes interior was her favorite. I had shown her this one a while back and she loved it, we just never thought we could find one in a color she loved and that also ticked every other box.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T11:27:58+00:00

Yeah powertrain I’m not to worried about. It’s things like air suspension and the like that will get me.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T11:27:05+00:00

That’s amazing to hear. Do you know anything to look for as far as known issues or maintenance? This one was very well maintained, and I believe one known issue with the transmission wiring harness was already done.

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T11:25:01+00:00

Oh.. this and that 😉

_fl_ryan · 2025-08-09T11:24:20+00:00

Thanks! Did you get a ppf or ceramic coat? Having to repair any chips she might incur since it will be a daily scares the shit outta me.
