everyone knows these cars depreciate, but $30k off is better than getting $18k off. so yeah, it is a lot closer to a good deal than a bad deal. Flattens out the depreciation curve somewhat.

My orginial statement remains accurate, not sure why people don't like hearing the facts. Definitely not against anyone buying NEW. WE may know these facts as this is not everyone's first S class, but I was speaking to OP and did not intend to "offend" anyone who buys NEW.

30k will be lost in 6 months = HIGHLY POSSIBLE
No such thing as a "good deal" on these largely depreciating cars = TRUE (YES, OP GOT A BETTER DEAL THAN MOST)
***If you have money to burn, go ahead and buy new*** or less be prepared to have a mild heart attack when you see the trade in value = TRUE!

I normally buy new and keep my cars/trucks. With W223 changes I may want one or not. Traded 2018 LS 500 for S450. If I like W223 new tech/body (which I normally do) I may want to get new model a couple of years after on the market to see issues if any. I only put out there to let others know what kind of deals are available.
