Time Machine ?

A place in Cincinnati is advertising a number of 'new' 2016 and 2017 Mercedes cars on EBay ... at what appears to be original MSRP pricing ?

https://www.ebay.com/sch/pacmbcincy/...p2047675.l2562

Assuming all legit, never titled, "one mile", full factory warranty, etc. how much of a discount from sticker would one expect when buying "new" 2016 or 2017 car in 2020?

2019 S63 4Matic+, 2018 E400 Cabrio, wardens car.
The obvious problem with all of these cars is the depreciation hit they will take the second you buy them. They are probably worth the higher book value of the car with year being the biggest factor. I believe the warranty starts upon the sale of the car but not sure on that. What kind of idiot runs this dealership that they would sit on stock for 3 years or more. I would value and treat these like a used car because that is really what they are from a value prospective.

My assumption is that they have some software that they played with a few years ago and turned on Omni channel marketing which loaded all the old stuff online..
Ebay acct from 2016 with zero anything.

They will have none of these cars...

I live in Cincinnati and know this dealership. I would bet you are right.

I would agree since none have Carfax or Autocheck. But, the Dealer Web Site should have some answers....

Yeah, there's just no way this is correct. This has to be a mistake on their end. "Last updated on Oct 25, 2017 15:15:03 PDT View all revisions"
