Glad it worked out for you. CPO would be my advice as well.

 

I am glad to hear to worked out for you. You may consider letting us know who the dealer is. Props to them for being cool. Would be nice to get them some positive pub.

 

Nice dealer indeed.

Shame you didn't like the car but glad it all worked out for you and there was no need to live with the regret (and cost).

 

Who is the dealer?

Might be one I keep an eye on in future.

 

Bonus and bonus. Now that's a very happy new year. Lesson learned without having to sacrifice the penny. Go forth with great contentment.

 

Hi all - dealer is Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands..cant say enough great things about them. I am so relieved to keep my Jeep..and let someone else go enjoy the E450.

It wasn't that I didn't love the car. Its a very fine automobile and it drives perfectly for my taste. What drew me to the vehicle is that it did have the Drivers Assistance package and Premium Package and 19-inch AMG wheels. Black exterior and the interior was Black/Macchiato Beige MB-Tex and Brown Ash Wood, and also had pano roof. Not a bad car by any stretch. I can see why the E400/E450 have gotten such rave reviews.
But the reality that hit me is..leasing isn't for me. I like seeing that light at the end of the tunnel and my Jeep is very close to being paid off. Prior to my Lexus being totaled I had experienced 4 years of what life with no car payments is like and that is the best feeling. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was in my budget in 2016 and a car that I always have loved growing up. So it was an easy choice for that car. When it comes to MB the truth is the only one that has ever had my heart is the S-Class. I personally don't agree with the big MB star being on the grill..and one thing I always loved about driving the S550 is seeing that star on the hood. Superficial maybe..but it generates a feeling for me. I know better now and got very fortunate to work with amazing people who understood the emotion behind the purchase and wanted to make sure I am completely satisfied.

I'm sure the Jeep isn't everyones cup of tea on here..but I know it makes me happy and I've never regretted purchasing it which is a great thing. One day I'll get the S that gives me that same good feeling.

 

thats really great to hear that there are still dealerships out there that aren't out to screw us all! Glad you were able to get out of it with little to none resistance.

 

Excellent outcome - and really excellent lease payment you had on the E450. Very glad it worked out for you.

 

Happy that this worked out so well!

 

Wow thats good and surprising news. Most dealers woulda given you at the very least a hard time. I went the CPO S class route for a couple years. They still do depreciate a lot being a S and the cars are so big. I really like the car, it was a 2015 S550 but would not do it again. You might want to consider either a new E Wagon or Sedan in the Luxury model, those do have the hood ornament and not the big black emblem on the grill. To me my Wagon drives just about as smooth as my S did and is better on gas and not as big and bulky. The performance seems just about as good too.

 

 

Yes, fully aware I can get the star on the E450 hood. The problem is I think the luxury package E-Class looks too soft. I wish that they could combine the lower sport bodywork with the traditional grill and hood star in the same way the S-Class is and the E-Class was up until 2013. Trust me my research was thorough. I was temporarily smitten with the car enough to believe I would forget about my feelings on the current sport and luxury packaging.

I'm well aware the S is more expensive.
