Jeep GC SRT8
Potential 2021 GLE 63s Owner

Hello everyone,

as my username suggests, I’m thinking of purchasing a 2021 GLE 63s and thought I could get the opinions of the best and brightest on it.

I’m upgrading from Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and want to get into something that’s faster and more refined.

I’m looking at a pre-owned (non CPO) with 22k miles on it which has the below options. Any thoughts on 2021 vs newer models? Are there any reliability issues that I should keep in mind?
The current car I’m looking at is $90k which is slightly below market, but it’s not a steal.


Options:

Burmester High-End Surround Sound System Package,Tire Fit,Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound System,Wheels: 22' AMG Cross-Spoke Forged Matte Black,Tires: 285/40R22 Fr & 325/35R22 Rr,Driver Assistance Package Plus,Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC,Active Speed Limit Assist,Active Stop & Go Assist,DISTRONIC PLUS,Driving Assistance,LED Lighting,Route-Based Speed Adaptation,Traffic Sign Assist,ENERGIZING Comfort Package Plus,Multicontour Front Seats w/Massage Feature,Air Balance Package,AMG Night Package,AMG Exterior Night Styling,Radio: MBUX Multimedia High,Android Auto,Apple CarPlay,Burmester Surround Sound System,eCall Emergency System,HD Radio,HERMES Communications Module LTE,Live Traffic,MB Navigation,Navigation Services,Navigation Updates For 3 Years,NFC Wireless Charging,Smartphone Integration,SiriusXM Satellite Radio,Wide Screen Cockpit,High Performance Tires


Thanks!!

Looks like a light spec to me. I prefer a lot of options on a vehicle like this. Looks like it's missing: HUD (head up display), trailer hitch, soft close doors, heated rear seats, 4-zone climate control, acoustic comfort package and a few more. If you haven't already you need to research and know all the options that come with the 63. I've compromised on cars a few times that didn't quite have what I wanted and always ended up regretting it. I don't do that anymore. You should have at least almost two years of factory warranty left. If it's from and MB dealer I would have them certify the car as that way you get an extra year of warranty with the option to purchase two more.

I think that because that vehicle has the Burmester Sound Pkg, it won't have a spare tire - if that matters to you. For me Distronic is a must, which this one has.

I bought mine as a CPO with 5,100 miles about 15 months ago. Except that none of the smartphone app features would work until I took in to a dealer's service department for reprogramming, I've had zero issues with it.

Keep in mind that as far as I can find there are ZERO snow chains that will fit on those tires.

I think that is quite a lot for that year with those options and not CPO. Mine had a sticker of $139k. I would be surprised if mine would get $60k now

I should have paid more attention. I did not realize Maybach responded to such a dated post. Apologies
