Coyote Gray
I don't miss my AMG E63s Wagon $1922 monthly payment...already with the savings put PPF on front of Maverick as well as Lifetime Ceramic Coating. Will pay my Detailer other half of Balance next month. 2.0T Ford 4-cylinder engine has pep with 250-hp, they put same engine in Lincoln Nautilus Luxury SUV @$55K. Unibody AWD Maverick 2.0T with 8A is quicker to 60mph than Ford Raptor with NA 6.2L V8 and gets 29mpg. Will miss the Premium AMG amenities and 603-hp on the 1500-mile Treks between NM and GA Residences VIA the smooth Interstates 10 and 20.

Car was taken off Dealership Website after they reduced price by $7K. Somebody got a great Deal.

I noticed some work in the carfax in the summer of 2022. What issues were you getting and did it all get resolved or was there anything lingering?

Traded it for 2024 Ford Maverick AWD with 2.0T, 8-spd Automatic, and towing package. Our new Georgia Residence has a huge front and back yard. Need to make weekly trips to the Dump with the yard and garbage waste. I was contemplating trading my AMG Wagon on the new Lexus GX550 Overtrail but Hennessy Lexus of ATL has an extensive waiting list where $1000 puts you in the Queue. Will wait now until 2026 when the initial Demand for GX550 levels off as Supply ramps up. Still a Wagon lover, will see how the W214 Wagon looks and drives in person after Son graduates GA Tech in two years.

Just found this on cars.com, first 2024 E450 wagon I've seen in the US at a dealer. It is very well equipped at $92K MSRP. At least they are starting to arrive. Still no info from MBUSA of course.

That is quite the switch from an AMG E63s to a Ford pickup. Personally, Ford quality is crap and I'd never buy one. Every year they have 600K to 3 million recalls. Currently driving a 23 Lexus IS500, limited edition IS with the 5 litre naturally aspirated V8. I love the car but its totally not practical. Interior is good for two adults and two kids, that is it but it is fun to drive. I'm potentially looking at the new wagon for late next year.
Go test drive one...dealerships can't keep them in Stock.

The Maverick Hybrid with crappy CVT that gets 42mpg has been problematic since its rollout MY2022. Will see how this Ecoboost 2.0T powerplant does with 8-spd Automatic with real gears. Its driver infotainment is basic and glad that my XL work truck Spec uses an old school key for its ignition. Figure if I change the oil to full synthetic after its initial 1000- mile break in period, the 2.0T which has been around with Ford forever should last a good 10-15 years. Still own my Australian built Chevy SS and Ducati motorcycle at NM residence plus have two Asian Appliances in GA. At age 64 thinking about downsizing...once I give up my Firearm Collection and sell NM Residence could probably lease an AMG EQE SUV for my remaining days...but its Alabama Plant has had Quality issues since its inception. Glad that I didn't purchase that ML320 which had plenty of recalls in the late 1990s. Will keep an eye on the Lexus GX550 and W214 Wagon quality control and customer satisfaction over these next two years. As a GMH Employee since the late 1980s never thought would purchase a Ford product especially one made in Mexico like some Toyota pickup trucks. At $29,000 the Maverick has a smooth highway ride and will suit the Wife fine with her Green Thumb Passion. Only owe $8K on this Truck with positive equity from AMG Wagon Trade a few weeks ago. Will get it dirty on trips to the Gun Range in NM and hunting trips to SC where my college buddy who works at Nuke Plants in Augusta has Private Land with a generous Deer population in my Retirement.

2021 AMG E63s Wagon
Fast is Slow; Slow is Fast
Sounds like you have no shortage of vehicles
I want to keep my IS500 for two years, which will be next Aug and then will replace it. In Nov I just got rid of a 2019 BMW R1250RT which I loved but it developed an electrical issue that would prevent the bike from starting after fueling up on longer rides. If left for 30 minutes it would then start up like nothing was wrong. BMW had my bike for three week long visits and could never figure out the issue which was very frustrating. Then my warranty ended and I didn't want to sink good money after bad trying to figure the issue out so decided to trade it. I ended up buying a new Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. It is not as refined as my RT but it is a nice bike and these are bullet proof. In 2022 I did a nice week long trip to NM, it was a bucket list bike trip as I'd never been to NM. Based myself in Roswell and rode rides North, West and South from there. I loved the rides West into the mountains. Hopefully your Maverick will serve you well.

On my last day of E63s Wagon ownership took my young Salesman and a young lady in charge of Internet Sales and Appraisals on a ride in their first TTV8 AMG on I-10 West towards Deming. Had to slow down from 145mph as we caught up to Truckers near the Crest of a Hill. Going Forward in my Retirement the 80mph speed limit in West Texas is fast enough. If I get the Lexus GX 550 Overtrail in 2026 will enjoy the Southwest and the Blue Ridge Mountains at 5mph on Forest Roads throughout all 4-seasons. If I get a W214 All Terrain Wagon will have a dedicated wheel set with All Terrain Trail Tires. Just put WildPeak A/T Trail tires on dedicated wheels on my AWD Maverick this past Wednesday...

2020 E450 Wagon
Glad you experienced the Land of Enchantment on your Motorcycle Tour! Now you know why I keep my NM residence with the Epic Mountain Backdrops and empty highways once the kids are in School and before they come home 2:30pm. Grew up in NYC where I learned to Drive in 1976. Think there are over 4-million people in Brooklyn alone which is the total population of New Mexico. But as I get older driving 160mph+ since my Small Block Chevy Days on a weekly basis for the last 30-years has become boring. Rather explore off-road treasures now since I got my CDL in 2011 and worked the vast and sometimes barren Oilfields of the Permian Basin. Enjoyed driving a Tractor Trailer sometimes at 5mph on Lease Roads in the middle of nowhere out of range of even Cell Phone Service fully loaded at 80,000lbs. Had to avoid the Rancher's Cattle, Horses, and Goats especially on those Moonless Nights on 3rd Shift Duty. Glad I never transferred to McKinney Texas to finish out my Engineering Aerospace First Career and stayed in NM at the Missile Range.
On my last day of E63s Wagon ownership took my young Salesman and a young lady in charge of Internet Sales and Appraisals on a ride in their first TTV8 AMG on I-10 West towards Deming.

2021 AMG E63s Wagon
SUVs suck until you need the ground clearance for off-road adventures or that extra cushion to get to higher ground and park if one encounters a flash flood. Was lucky One Time was in the old 2005 CRV SE, stuck in traffic during rush hour on the main drag in Carlsbad NM during one of their notorious downpours. The extra ground clearance gave me the time to pull off the side of the road on the high side of the "V" and wait it out. Sedans including Police Dodge Chargers caught in the "valley" were disabled by water getting injested into their engines by waves generated by impatient "lifted" 4x4 pickup trucks making their own lanes to avoid getting stuck behind the long line of cars in the "River" Traffic. If I was driving my 2012 CRZ, 2015 or 2017 Chevy SS Sedans, I might have gotten disabled in that scenario.
Sedans and wagons are inherently more comfortable and engaging to drive long distances and are good for the old Daisy Dog to easily hop into the back seat or up thru the rear tailgate. I'm glad that I had a bunch of vehicles in my Toolbox, some with dedicated snow tires that got me to the Oilfields 240-miles away thru the mountains, rain, ice, or snow and make a 5am yard time.
The AMG Wagon was the best for my 1500-mile Treks between my Residences followed by my 2015 and 2017 Chevy SS Sedans. The 2002 Subaru WRX, with its amazing Recaro seats, was fabulous one year as I drove nonstop from NM to Birmingham, Alabama 19-hours nonstop.

More wagons are showing up on-line. Alcantara/Dynamica headliner IS an option (appears to be $1,600 on the window sticker), despite not being listed in either the 2024 or 2025 order guides (although referenced as 61U - not available with MB-Tex). Here’s hoping 4-zone climate is or will be available…
Also looks like initial cars have a $200 credit for no Homelink. On an $94,440 car. Get it together, Mercedes…

My local dealer told me all orders taken now are 2025. No more 2024 orders going forward. They have a white on black wagon in the lot for around $94K. He told me they have 5 wagon allocations for 2025 at this point. I'm not going to order mine until Q1 2025 for an Aug 2025 delivery.
#67
A Q1 order should arrive by end of Q2…pretty sure August 2025 deliveries will be MY2026.
Lease on my 2022 AT is up in April…was planning to get another, but not likely unless rear AC appears on the option sheet…

What is your backup plan? Initially intended to trade my Wagon for a 2024 A6 Allroad. After one slipped thru my fingers in ELP then another in Tysons Corner VA near my Daughter in Reston, got the generic Maverick last month. Future Allroads are going full electric or PHEV. Hopefully the rumors of the V8 return in the E63s are true after 2027. I can lease one of those in Georgia if they bring over the AMG Wagon and change my mind about the GX 550 Overtrail.

I'm not sure if the dynamica headliner is orderable or if it was only included on those early production MB standarized spec cars. Haven't seen what Netstar looks like for the wagon.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
Anyone know if the 3D audio is gonna be available in the new 214 Wagon?. Also the above posts of members who posted their orders what was the pricing? I'd think somewhere around 87 to 90 K with the multi contour seats and soft close doors and other options, I'm seriously consider ordering a loaded wagon in Alpine grey with the brown interior. I guess if I cant get 3d audio it's not a deal breaker but definitely want the multi contour seats and all other options although maybe not the night package. Also night vision would be nice, is this available available on the new E class or is that just a S class thing? I probably don't need the full screen on the passenger side either, one more thing to go wrong and not really necessary.
