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.

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.
