Have Two Options for G63 4x4 Squared. Need your opinions..

Have been working on deals for months. Finally here we go.

Need your opinions


option 1) 2022, new, recall complete, cardinal red mango. Priced at msrp

option 2) 2023, new, not part of recall, black magno. 28k markup

Was about to go with the 2023 matte black (preferred color) then the opportunity for the 2022 at msrp came up.

what the best move. Going to keep for 5+ years. There’s an obvious price difference

My heart goes out for those who paid $100K plus over MSRP for the early 2022 cars.

Even on MY23 I would push for MSRP/shop around with MY24 coming in hot. And 11 times out of 10 go with the preferred color and newer car on these high end vehicles, ask me how I know..

Well for what it's worth my dealer expects my 24 G63 (regular) to be delivered next month, and I saw a boat load of MY24 G63 4x4 in Graz last week waiting to be shipped, but best of luck with your hunt either way mate

For the MY22, would you keep it red or wrap it to your preferred black? If so, that would cost you around $7k at the minimum so then the difference is around $21k. Hopefully that makes it a smaller pill to swallow.

go for the 2022 and wrap. I have a black mango g hard to maintain. A wrap is infinitely better and easier to fix.

went with the 23 black. The red plus recall plus stale 2022 model sitting for 20 months is a bad trifecta. I plan on keeping this for a long time, but want to be able to not have issue selling when the time comes
