Yeah I had some history told to me about the first owners, she was garage kept by the first guy up in New Jersey up until 2018 and driven less than norm. Second owner was a rich car enthusiast, a Vietnamese guy who supposedly had 8 other vehicles or so, Corvettes, M4's etc and it was his daughter's car. Dealer maintained here in Florida all the recommended maintenance, for a 2013 with 88k miles it's not bad

i've been impressed with how some of these older Mercedes paint keeps. There's only cosmetic scratches on the rear, a small crack in the rear bumper grill and some clear coat up by the rails, otherwise she looks like new and the interior is nice given a little wear

surprisingly i wasnt even considering Mercedes at all but if she keeps well I'm already in love with this, I've driven other cars, friends cars at meets, tracks, rentals ETC and this is easily in my favorites

After i pay this thing off I may look at another Mercedes in the future. I was wanting a Cayanne but now a GLS63 may be a better plan for my future

We'll see how reliable she is for me 😉
