What Better Decision than a $64k AMG EQE SUV?

This question is for those community members who either currently own, or have owned an AMG EQE 53 SUV.

If you were in the market today for such a vehicle, or similar, what might you consider other than a:

Excellent Condition 1 owner, clean Carfax 2024 CPO AMG EQE SUV for $64k with 9k miles (original MSRP of $118k).

The question is - "what else might you rather have?"

Thanks!

I have never purchased a used vehicle regardless of manufacture. I purchased a similar vehicle NEW 24 months ago for which i just finished the 2yr service today. Other than some software updates, there's been no other service required. Net, the vehicle has been trouble-free for two years. I couldn't ask for anything more. YMMV

I've seen EQS AMG's for not a ton more that I think I would rather have.

I would never buy a used car or even a demonstrator with only a few hundred miles on it. My top picks for an SUV are the all electric AMG EQE SUV and EQS SUV.

Too funny, i purposely bought a 1 yr old loaner eqe suv w 2k miles cause i figured all the kinks and issues would have surfaced by then and been addressed.

I guess there's an *** for every seat.

Those 2,000 miles were probably by vehicle abusers who didn't care about the consequences of flogging the engine when cold, etc.
Why buy a used car along with someone else's troubles?
I've never bought a new MB that had kinks and issues in over 60 years of MB ownership.

Then you never purchased an early model of the EQE or EQS. Both of these had a software problem that would render the car undriveable for 15 minutes until a reset was performed. The fix was released at least a year later. It was an inconvenience when you knew what was going it, vs 6 weeks in the shop for the inexperienced tecks to tear the car apart looking for a physical wiring problem.

Yeah that sounds like the typical mb owner but I'm going with the idea it was a 50-70yr old who brought their car in for service to the dealership they've been going to for 60 yrs and wanted to see what an EV experience is like.

As I said, An *** for every seat (and I'm not referring to you&#128512
