Used 450+ with 14k mi for $84k. Original sticker was $120k. Is that a good deal? Pinnacle trim with all the options I want except color. I really love the Selenite gray

Or will these prices keep dropping?

Thanks

Sounds like a Lemon buyback. Find out why and thoroughly inspect before buying. Good luck.

It's legit mb local dealership with warranty. Carfax checks out.

I prefer the looks and smaller size of the eqe. But the eqs has the better range, tech and build. I can't afford the new smell, so have look for used cars. Is this a good deal?

I bought mine used about two months ago with 2K miles for $89. Prices have dropped since then and this sounds like a decent deal (assuming clean carfax. Hopefully the dealer knows some history. In my case it was a buyer who wanted a 580 which was not available at the time and bought a 450+ until the 580 came in. Carfax will show an ownership history, you might want to be careful if it was in Florida during hurricane Ian.

Sounds a bit high. A cursory check on Cars.com shows multiple examples under 5,000 miles with Certification, in the mid to upper $80k; though they may not have your level of desired equipment. Also, don't rely on CarFax. Rely on your eyes. CarFax just means that an insurance claim wasn't filed, not that the vehicle is accident free. Even if it is MB Certified, it can still have unreported body damage, including a poor previous repair. Do your due diligence, there a lot of these cars coming onto the market and prices are dropping.

Good luck

its called DEPRECIATION

we were just talking about this guys come on... it is exactly 30% as expected... LOL

Great deal pick it up and enjoy that someone else took the hit


@haYnBenz is correct I have a buddy that purchase a used AMG S63 coupe one year old and it was "certified" when he took it to have the PPF applied they called him to tell him they found evidence the car had had an accident. He took it to a trusted mechanic and he confirmed the cars was repaired and painted. No carfax, no nothing. The dealer told him it was sold as is and that they did not know.

Those upper $80k EQS 450s you see were probably no optioned $100k MSRP. Others that you see around that price and lower are branded lemons. I just traded my $118k MSRP EQS 450 w/hyperscreen for a 580 and the dealer offered $98k which means they will try to sell it for $100k+.
So picking up a $120k 450 for $84k is a good deal unless there is something wrong with the car or high mileage.

Lemon buyback is simple to check. Just ask for the service records and see how many times it was in and were the service visits for similar issues.
