gle53 worth getting inspected/driven? help please

hey everyone,

im in the market for a gle53 coupe. found one that is a CPO at a MB dealer that's about 7hrs away driving. I can't imagine finding the will to test drive the car and see it in person before.

the car is a '21 and CPO so it's covered. my question is, should i move forward with purchase/negotiation and see the car for the first time when I pick it up OR pay lemonsquad to review and drive the car with a report before agreement. $200 is nothing for the peace of mind, but it is an added step in the process which will delay things.

thoughts? any conditions i can hold against the dealer in case the car is different on arrival for pickup?

first time doing a non-local buy.

ty v much!

100% get a 3rd party to check it out. We have so many forum members here talking about issues with their vehicles and then trading them in for something else.
