Hi
So i currently own a 2015 e63s with 55k miles i was looking to sell it and upgrade to a w213. Cant find a lot of options because of the shortage. Is there any option i should specifically look for when buying one?. Plus every 2018 2019 e63s i find it has tons of maintenance history at a young age! And most of them are lemon/buyback titles. Are they not reliable? After watching so many carfax now im kinda afraid of upgrading because i always buy cars without any warranty! Prices are crazy high cheapest one i found was 88k in IL with 28k miles black color.
dealer is offering 43k for my car.
Thanks.

loaded question, it’s like timing the stock market.. one could wait till dust settles down, or jump the gun in hope supply gets even worse and prices keep moving up.
from my own experience: regret selling my 2019 before the summer …
anyway, if you really want to upgrade my advice will be 2019… there is another thread on this forum explaining the difference between the 2018 and 2019
hope this helps

If $88k is the cheapest you can find for a 2019 you're better off ordering a new 2022. Depending on your options the price will be close to that (if they'll accept the order). I ordered an E53 coupe last week and I'm waiting to hear if MB accepted it. If they do I should get it in June (Hopefully.)
Ooops, you're looking for an E63. I ordered an E53. Sorry.
Depends on what the lemon reason was for the 2018. If it was for the misfire CEL, I wouldn't worry too much about that. This was a problem that plagued some of the 2018 and maybe 2019 cars. Seemed to be in part location dependent and time of year dependent too because of fuel formulations.
My car suffered from them a bit. It was in the shop for a week or so while the dealer worked with MB Germany to run tests. They could only do two cold starts per day so this extended the time as they would do one test then have to wait till the car cooled to do the next test. In the end they didn't do much more than replace spark plugs and swap injectors around and recalibrate. This pretty much eliminated the CELs on my car. I think the general consensus was that the threshold for throwing the code was set too tight given tolerances but probably set that way for emissions compliance reasons.
The car otherwise ran fine when this was going on except for once or twice when I started the car to leave my office for lunch and it threw the code and went into limp mode. Turning the car off then on again allowed it to run fine again.
Eventually, MB released an emissions related recall to update the firmware for affected cars then later extended it to all 2018 cars. In California you needed to have the recall done in order to renew your registration.
Would I want to buy a car with a clean title, yes for sure. But if I could get a 2018 with a CEL related lemon title for a great deal I would go for it.
Happy hunting. Look at as many different ones as you can and drive to compare to what you currently have. Pictures just don't do the car justice. No chance of getting a '22 given the news from MB a couple of days ago that no more E63's (and a many other 63 models) will be built for MY22.
Strike fast, expand you budget or wait it out. Search often, search early and good luck.
Def mid MY19 or MY20 is what I'd recommend; I'm not a facelift fan.

If so, will there be an estate as well as a sedan or just a sedan? The EQE will be offered in 2023 and I believe that it will have a similar cargo capacity as the current wagon. I've not seen any information on a reintroduction of a V8 wagon offering for 2023. Hope you are correct.
