2023 E-Class Coupe (C238)
Well, Not Exactly New, BUT...

A short time ago, I purchased a 2019 AMG GLE 43 Coupe, which is when I first joined the forum. Fast forward a few months and I was one of those hit by layoffs (100 people in my company). Now, this isn't really a crisis as I'm closer than not to retirement age, but for a variety of reasons, I had a very high payment. While I am able to afford it, the Stock Market is crazy, the Job Market is crazy and the Supermarket is REALLY crazy. I decided to make a tactical decision and trade down a bit for a 2017 C300 4MATIC Coupe. I was looking at the C Series when I changed my mind and bought the GLE, but my dealer made it financially palatable to make a trade, and it's still a CPO. Really love this car, cut my payment in half and overall very happy with the outcome. I miss the GLE but times like this dictate being a bit smarter with cash going out. Here are a few pics:

I'm sure it was tough to trade the AMG GLE 43 Coupe, but at least you stayed with the brand and a nice looking red coupe.
