E300 4matic
New to MB world and MB

Just picked up my first ever MB. It's a '17 E300 4matic in lunar metallic blue. I am coming from a Genesis G80, in fact I have both in the driveway for a little longer thanks to the CPO deal making the first 2 payments for me.

Welcome. Love the blue color. I wish you many happy miles. Just curious, what didn't you like about the G80?

Virtually nothing. Had a 2015 and a 2018. Time to move on. I still drive it to and from work since its under lease until Dec. and my MB payments are being made until end of January. Might as well keep putting the miles on the one going back. I drive the MB on weekends.

Jon Hamm. The MB CPO commercial came on and I immediately set up a test drive. I had been shopping around for either the same class sedan as my G80 or a mid-size SUV. Once I got to MB of Rochester and got in it and took it for a spin the shopping was over. We made a deal that night and I picked it up the next day.

The G80 comes so well equipped and is more then enough power for the price tag. However, they are not there on a service/dealership level. The last dealer in town went away nearly a year ago and so my concierge service was basically gone.

Mercedes always seemed out of reach when I was younger and now it is not. Hope to be a member for many years to come.
