This is a question I've been tossing around in my head as well.
For background, I drive a Honda Civic Type R currently and while I think it is awesome to drive, there is no doubt this is a $20K car in terms of material quality. The rock chips to the paint and now most recently the windshield is starting to wear my patience thin.
From that experience, I've learned that I want a luxury-branded vehicle (having a loaner car is important to me) and ideally, I would like something used since I put roughly 100 highway miles/day on my car and feel guilty about beating on an expensive brand new car.
I posted in another thread I was contemplating a CPO S-Class but the only hesitation in pulling the trigger is my distrust of how the previous owner treated their car and whether or not there is any damage that may not make it to the Carfax.
So as I was driving my wife's G550 today, the lightbulb went off in my head. I'll have my wife purchase the newer generation G (W463A) and I'll take her 2018 G550 off her hands!
Luxury car, used, and I know exactly what has been done to it over the last 3 years.
My only hesitation is what kind of whopping maintenance bill am I looking at by dailying this beast 100 miles/day, 50 weeks/year? Is this one of the few times where opting for the extended warranty (original warranty set to expire in 2022) would be worthwhile?
Thanks
