I might not grab 2027, if there are no additional options. Will wait for 2028

2026 is my 4th Gwagon, plus added more options over 2025. Work only with 1 dealership and trade back as well.
On the list for convertible G, looking forward to 2028 when order book is open ..

Now I’m basically alternating between two dealers, getting an allocation every other year from each.

For the last two it has settled out to be around $700-800 a month depreciation for trade in, usually around 3-4k miles.

I don't know where you live but the sales tax alone here in California would exceed $700/$800 per month in cost, changing cars that often. Let alone depreciation.

When you trade a car back in you should only be paying sales tax on the delta between the trade in price of the old car and the price of the new car. I think.

Not in California. Which is 25% of US G class sales. Full sales tax on new car regardless of trade-in.

Yes my math is simple—I paid x and dealer gave me y in trade. Take the difference and divide by months owned.

I actually didn’t take into account taxes saved but only looked at depreciation so the true cost is less!

In my state (NC) we save on tax for trade in and it’s only 3%, so when I upgraded to my 2026 I paid $300 in sales tax.

The main issue with my plan is Mercedes keeps raising MSRP for the same car.

That's great! I made a post for those of us with 2027 orders to track build dates, production, transportation, and delivery. It would be great to have you join that thread so we can compare and inform each other of upcoming 2027 order milestones.
