2023 Mercedes EQS 580 SUV, 2023 Bentley Bentayga, 2023 Genesis GV60
The Bentayga has been rock solid over 10,000 miles in 17 months. The only problem is the right rear window motor went out and was replaced under warranty during the first and only service appointment.
If the Maybach had a Naim audio system, that would be my dream car. The Maybach is more luxurious and technologically advanced than the Bentley. I wish Mercedes had the paint/leather/trim options that Bentley offer.
The Bentley is basically my rolling concert hall. Just a phenomenal place to listen to electronica and organ music in particular. I haven't heard the Burmester 4D system, which has seat shakers, yet, but that might be fairly competitive.

The MBs depreciate in value precipitously. If you’re selling you start on shifting sands. Dealers will offer lowball prices because they know they’ll be lowballed on the other side of the re-sale. Autotrader gets pretty high marks for relatively painless transactions. Once your deal is done there’s no point in looking back. You did well enough to beat the dealer curve by a decent margin. Enjoy your new Bentayga!

On the other hand, in most States your sales tax is based on the Trade Difference. In other words, if your local sales tax is 5%, you would have saved $6,750 by taking the $135k trade offer. (I.e. taxed on the difference between the selling price less $135k, instead of the entire selling price.)
States differ.
