Advice on buying used gle400
Hi MB lovers.
I have always wanted to own a MB. I’m seriously considering a 2016 Gle400 with 95,000 miles. It has a clean carfax with 2 owners. I’ve searched and searched; this has the saddle brown interior that I want! And it’s affordable. I’m starting to get scared; I understand I will have to stay on top of maintenance but how bad could it be? Any advice before i purchase?

You need to drive both vehicles. It's a whole different ball game with the 400 and 350 with the turbo's and non-turbo. Also being a 2016 you need to know the build dates because some don't have apple car play and I believe some 2017 don't have android play.
It comes down to price. For me I find one with much lower mileage.
The GLE400 maintenance is a little more expensive then the GLE350.

Yes, GLE400 engine has more power so will be more fun to drive. Compare options on both vehicles. 10k miles is not a big difference at nearly 100k miles for both vehicles.

Maintenence is more expensive for Mercedes regardless of model, especially if you just go to dealer. I would review maintenence records on car fax or wherever... if you are stretching your budget for a 6 year old Mercedes with almost 100k miles make sure previous owners did proper maintenence and you can keep that maintenence going.
