GLE 63 Lemon/Buybacks?

Quick question, I am trying to get a GLE 63 either the SUV or the coupe version, but I am looking at cars.com and either they are buyback/lemons or the vehicle had 2 or more owners within the 2 year period..Is there something actually wrong with these vehicle?

Hi there. I bought mine in May as a ‘17 CPO with 13k miles. Been running like a dream and the best car I’ve owned so far. Stay away from the buy back ones and keep looking.

nothing wrong with any GLE’s 43 or 63 I know and on the AMG Forum. The Coupes get resold quick because our 63S model tires are consumed every 6-8k miles because of the engine power/torque and summer tire combo. People get sick of buying tires and only have two summer tire options for them.

The M157 is a solid design. The transmission design is also very solid. I expect to keep mine 10-15 years at least. I have 22k on it with no issues.

Only buybacks i've seen are cars with Active Curve issues that haven't been properly diagnosed or fixed. Most people don't understand the system, like ABC.

None personally because we fix them, but there have been several people on the forum who have active curve warning messages pop up and after multiple trips the dealer can't fix it and ends up buying the car back. At my dealer we have only ever repaired a couple but haven't seen one that we couldn't fix.
