New (to me) EQS 450 Questions

Greetings all,

I just purchased a 23 450 4MATIC with 19k miles for my new daily. So far I’m loving the car. The looks are starting to grow on me as well. I have a question about the air suspension, as I feel like that would be the most expensive fix outside of warranty. I have 31k miles / 15 months left of the original warranty and am debating getting the extended warranty as I want to make an informed decision.

Everything I’ve read points to these cars being exceptionally reliable, but I know with air suspensions it’s a matter of when, not if, they fail. Has anyone with higher mileage on their car experienced any issues with this? Or any other eye-watering repairs that would necessitate an extended warranty?

I had an E500 that the air suspension failed (IIRC) with less than 50k miles. It was a few weeks out of warranty and very expensive.
IMO get the extended warranty if you plan on keeping the car beyond the original warranty.

I am not fan of extended warranty.

I used to own a S350 year 2012. Air suspension had to be done ( new strut all wheels) afterv8 years. Which is out of any extended warranty.

From what I know, Mercedes have improved those parts and you should expect something like 50 to 100% more longevity.

Hope this will help you!!

Looking good and congratulations on the new ride! Your remaining factory warranty can be applied as discounts for future warranty coverage when being proactive in your search. My contact information if below if you'd like to explore extended warranty coverage, repairs accepted at all Mercedes-Benz dealers in the US. Talk to you soon!
