This place is a joke.
I guess "millionaire's boredom" set in early on that one. Or was 251 miles enough to realize this isn't a very good street car...especially in Jacksonville, FL?

Jerry from Florida is probably a member on here. Just realized he can make an easy 150+K.

I understood MB was only giving allocations on these to special buyers with previous purchase history. Wonder if these owners who sell so soon will be on the naughty list, but really I don't think MB cares much about anything these days.

No special history required to buy one. Ours went to the highest bidder who committed with a deposit before it arrived. Now it can get you on the naughty list with a dealership because if it is exported within 6 months of being sold new then the dealer is dinged from MB and will lose future allocations.

It is what it is, but it was significantly less than any auction price I've seen them sell for, or even bid to, second hand. Unfortunately ours was listed for sale within weeks for well over the selling price and is hopefully still stateside. When demand is higher than supply it is going to adjust the price in every market and when there are repercussions for the selling dealership they will sell at a higher price to mitigate the risks down the road.
