2024 ALL TERRAIN PRICING
Hello All
I am looking to purchase an ALL TERRAIN. While shopping for a 2025, the dealer has a 2024 from the loaner fleet that will have three years, 4 months of warranty plus one year certified.
The car has every option I believe with a sticker of 94k.
Does anyone know of any differences between the 24 and 25? Would anyone not purchase this vehicle based on experience with ownership? And lastly, what kind of discount is fair for this vehicle?
Thank you for your anticipated insights and thoughts.

I just replaced my 2022 with a 2024. There is really no change between 24 and 25 based on my knowledge with the exception of uphostery color. My 2024 is a new one with no miles and I got $10k off. You can definitely ask for more discount if it's a loaner.

I think the only difference between the 2024 and 2025, besides some color choices is the center airbag that is standard. This airbag deploys between the driver and front passenger to protect from colliding into each other in an accident. It's standard on all 2025 E-Class models but wasn't even available in the 2024 models.

- The AT is considered by many to be a "niche" car: very few are sold, very few are in dealer's inventory. Is it the chicken of the egg?: Are the sales low because there are so few on the dealer's lots or are there so few on the dealer's lots because sales are so low? Remember for substantially less, you can get a GLE450. I am not saying the GLE450 is better or more desirable, (for me not I prefer a sedan), but in the market place it is.
- As with any "niche" car hard to predict resale: will resale hold up because there are so few, or not because there are so few because no one wants them?
- With the implementation of the 25% tariffs will MB stop importing cars and will dealers mark up the cars that they have as they did during Covid?
- As a loaner was the car driven hard or otherwise abused? Unfortunately no way to tell.
- On the 2025 sedans discounts have been between 5% and 10%. But most AT were special ordered
- This is a 2024 model so one would expect substantial discounts beyond the 5% and 10% on the 2025. But if there is stoppage of cars from Germany, that may change
- Finally a fully loaded car, as this AT at $94K is, tends to suffer a greater percentage of depreciation than one that is not fully loaded and cost $80K: Given time the delta between a fully loaded AT and one that is not, tends to get smaller and smaller. After 7 years the $14K difference between each's MSRP may be less than $3/4K
Just my $.02 and good luck!

I personally prefer new cars, since I take care of my cars extremely well, and don't trust a car that has had miles piled onto it, by someone else.
Unless, I know who that someone is, and I know that they care for the car, like I do with my cars. But that's personal preference, I suppose.

I have the same preference. You just don't know how a car was cared for outside of the obvious. I guess it depends on the used car. If it's a beater and therefore costs little, not a big deal. But if it's an expensive used car, better to know how the prior owner cared for it before taking that chance.

In my case I bought a 2012 W212 with 18K miles on it in 2014. It was driven by the wife of the service manager at a dealership where my good friend worked as a master MB mechanic. He knew the car's history. I bought it sight unseen other than in pictures. The car ran until I totaled it with 170K miles on it. It ran and looked like new without any issues over the 10 years I owned it. I would still be driving it had I not hit a 18 wheeler with it.

Thank you all for your input.
My wife has the 2024 GLE 450 and I don't like driving it. I prefer a sedan like ride and need the extra cargo space. As far as 'used' by others, its not as much of a concern as I only keep cars for 2-3 yrs - so warranty would cover her.
