2022 GLE 350
2022 or 2023 GLE350W
I just placed a custom order for 2022 GLE 350 last week and today the dealer texted me 2023 GLE350W is open for order. My 2022 is coming in early August and 2023 will come around late October or early November. I ordered the 21 Twin 5 Spoke Wheels on my 2022 and it won't be available on 2023 model without adding the AMG package. Is it worth switching from 2022 to 2023 model? The sooner I have my car is the better tho. Pleas advise! Thank you everyone!

Since there are no enhancements in 2023 (only removals), functionally there's no difference. The main concern would be depreciation. When you sell the car, even though they were manufactured only 1 month apart with same set of features, MY23 will be valued more than MY22.

If you keep your cars long time, condition may make more difference in resale value than the model year, but unless there's a money incentive I'd obviously prefer the 23
If you are leasing, it may not make a difference. But I would definitely check with the f&I people to see how the residual value may be affected. It is possible that you'd have a lower lease payment with the current model year. Probably not, but it's worth checking.

If you are keeping the vehicle for +5 years get the 22. If you will change the vehicle before warranty expires get the newer one as long as it will be the same build and same cost.

What's a Section 179 person? Are they a significant portion of the buyers?

Section 179 is pretty steady. Most people try to buy in the last couple of months of the year. Gonna be tough with inventories the way they are.

What's a Section 179? Sounds like a punishment 🙂

Section 179 refers to the part of the tax code that allows business owners to deduct the cost of an SUV with a GVWR of over 6,000 lbs.

2022 GLE 350
Thank you for all of your replies. I decided to wait 3 more months to get the MY23. I am planning to drive the car for 4-5 years and then trade it in to get a new one. Therefore, MY23 will hold much better value even though they are basically the same.

reservations that the wheels are freaking huge; you can’t rotate them as the fronts are smaller; and to be quite honest, in the future I would forgo paying for 21” tires. I suggest considering the additional cost of the 2023 with your preferred options. and the stick with the 18” or 19” tires. As, I am now inclined to believe owners in this forum who suggest that smaller tires have a better ride.
