Wink New to Forum-- 2 cars and 2 questions



My two rides. Leasing MB's all-new for the past 18 years...usuallly on a 2-3 year cycle ( FJM in Newport Beach was super aggressive on leases in past... sometimes 27 months)

Both of my leases are up in 2019 (May and June)

Thinking of going a different route and need advice.

Thinking of buying a Used/Certified GLS450. My wife wants to drive this and my goal for this GLS is to be as sporty as possible, but with a comfortable ride. Seeking to find one a year or two with minimum mileage in May of 2019. Should I proceed with this? My wife wants to buy one ride straight out and doesnt want to be in two leases anymore. I just want to make sure that if I pull the trigger on a purchase.... that I will be happy with my purchase a few years out.
Looking for a GLS 450 Selenite.... with Black interior ...Sport Styling... 19 inch tires ( on the forum I have read the ride better than the 20's) Lighting upgrade and Panorama... Air ride??? (again reading plusses and minuses and am confused) other than that Im set.

Any thoughts from our learned friends on this site???

With my E... I would like to pursue an S550 lease that is a year or 2 off lease..with the same guidelines as above... just subbing out Black for the color. Any thoughts on leasing a year or two S Class next June... Good or bad idea.

I will admit ... I know nothing about cars other than my love of MB and my brand loyalty to the company. Any knowledge I pick up is by reading forums etc. Just looking for some solid advice before I approach the dealership next year.

Thanks all... and if you think I should post under another forum ... will do.
