GLS580 vs CPO GLS63
Drove a GLS450 last week, was a great truck but a little down on power compared to our current V8 GX and LX Lexus trucks.
Was going in to the dealership see what the GLS580 offered after driving a CPO 2022 Escalade.
Had an opportunity to drive a new GLS580 and a CPO (3k mile) GLS63. Of course the GLS63 is a completely different animal but would it ultimately hold value better than a similarly priced, new GLS580?
We drive my wife's truck about 20K miles a year. The CPO warranty (extended to cover 3 years after factory warranty is done) would really shine for our needs. But, ideally, the less time the truck would spend getting repaired, the better. One could only wish for Lexus levels of reliability but I understand thats not likely.
Got the impression that a new truck would come with a "market adjustment" also so not too thrilled about that... Not opposed to searching out a CPO 580 but curious what would be the better/ hassle free daily.

What year is the CPOed GLS 63AMG? And I’m assuming the GLS580 is a 2024 but I guess it’s possible it’s a 2023. I think it shouldn’t be hard to get a 2024 GLS580 without a market adjustment if you shop around. That wasn’t the case 6 months ago but is heading that way now (maybe because of higher interest rates).
580 would be ordered new, dealership has allocations so wife could order to her spec. Delivery in April the latest.
browsing CPO 580s and it looks like theres savings to be had for 2023 models with under 10k miles. +\- $20k

2020 S63 4matic+
We traded my wife's 2021 GLS450 for 2024 GLS450. I was on the fence between 2021 GLS63 and 2024 GLS450. My wife said she does not need the GLS63 power and she liked gls450 on the lot - this is how we ended up with another gls450. I drive s63 and would choose gls63 any day over gls 580 if it was for myself.

We grabbed up a 2021 580 with ~7k miles in November. Warranty is good until 2025. I don't know who had it or what they used it for but it doesn't even look used. Most of the protective plastic sheets were still in place. While I'm sure the GLS 63 would have more go the 580 doesn't feel like the big heavy vehicle it is.

If you're looking for 2021+ with low milage, why are you talking CPO? It will still have the factory 4/40k warranty and can be extended.

With that said, my wife decided that she would prefer spec out her "perfect" GLS580 brand new than buy a GLS63 just because it was for a great price... So we are going that route. Will likely be extending the factory warranty as suggested. Shopping around for the best deal starting tomorrow.

@dmash just got a 580 for $5k under MSRP I believe. Deals might be out there similar to his.
this is my favorite part of the buying experience 🥳

The boys at my trusted indi who are ex MB dealership mechanics, say AMG stands for All Money Gone… when you learn that the rear tires on the AMG version last about 10k miles and probably cost around $450-$500 a piece…well, you have to hand it to ‘em…
We’re at 65k on our 2020 450 and has been good. Minor defects and hassle to get parts for warranty work, but that’s about it. Key to owning is a trusted indi. Just had our oil done yesterday, $180 with same MB oil and filter as dealership at $500+.
Look at the rim size of whatever one you're considering and then go to tirerack and look up options. Yes the 22’s are nice looking, but you may have trouble finding tires that aren’t summer tires at that size. We’re 21’s staggered and need new fronts (3rd pair), and having a time finding the Michelin Primacy AS that we use.. fronts last about 45m, rears last about 25k..

one of the reasons I bought this Bronco recently is because of how easy DIY is on it. No funny business or specialized tools.

went to OEM 20s from 21s on our LX570 to get more options for tires and a smoother ride. Went from 17s to 18s on my C4 ZR1 for the same reason. Always willing to upgrade where necessary lol
Going after a new 580 either way. Will buy the extended warranty and let the dealership worry about this thing for as long as possible. I’ll be doing oil changes every 5k on my own though.
Ive got too many other cars that need attention (love) to worry about my wife’s daily. Problem arises, drop off, get loaner, down the road I go.
