New GLE53 AMG?

Hello All, first post here. I have a growing family with a newborn coming in 6 months and a 16 month old currently. Currently have a Macan S w/ cobb tune that I likely will trade in. Skimming through the posts in this sub show little to no threads about the GLE53 AMG. Whats the deal? Is it not the GLE to get? GLE63 amg is out of budget. What's the difference between the GLE 450 and the GLE 53 AMG?

I've seen several threads on the 53 here but this forum doesn't have much activity in general. When you spec out a 450 with a couple options it puts you within 3-4k price of the 53 price point so I think the 53 is the sweeet spot. The 350 is too basic and underpowered, the 450 is too close in price to the 53 where things come standard. I'd look into the 53 or 63.

thanks for the reply.

I was wondering why all the threads here were about the GLE63, it makes me think theres a known issue about the gle53 AMG. I'm going into a dealership to test drive this tomorrow. Anything to look out for? What % discount is considered the best and whats considered good? Would it be reasonable to ask for 11% off and settle for 10%?
