Joe Wisniewski (joewauto) and I get hands on with the new Electric G Wagon to discuss what makes it similar and different from the G550 and G63. For this all new and highly anticipated model, does it live up to the hype?

Cars depreciate which means waiting will cost you money, especially if a model year switch over happens between the time you first visit a dealership and when you resume the process. Also, we have a fun conversation about music and the producers who announce their record labels at the beginning of songs, specifically the 90’s producers I grew up with! #cars #carshopping #newcar #music #dealersh...

Do NOT Buy Luxury Cars! LEASE Them Instead!

Cars depreciate. Luxury cars depreciate more than most. So why buy them if you don’t plan to keep them long term? Leasing offers protection from downside risk that you just don’t have when you buy a car. This video goes into a number of those reasons. I’m Doug Horner of BenzsandBowties.

That is huge on something that is sitting on lots gathering dust.
These 1st ev's are going to sell slow. I think the 3rd generation will be good
So far sales have been great for the new G580. It will be interesting to see how that continues.
They totally still shout out labels on albums
Yes, I realized that shortly after the video, I guess it’s just not the same for me anymore 😂
I wouldn't even lease a Mercedes nowadays. Had to learn that the hard way on a 2021 w223. Trust me get a panamera, Porsche still cares.
What do you mean by you "learned the hard way?" What happened on your Mercedes lease?
I see your point , and my counter is that the dealer add ons and doc fees exacerbate the depreciation because so many people put 0 down , as well as rolling in the taxes to the loan…. It’s a heart decision, not a head decision.
Make sure that you are not working with a dealer that has add ons that you did not ask for!
Terrible advice. Pay thousands, turn the car in and take a Uber home.
Clearly you do understand an auto lease. An auto lease really is not different than a purchase.. With both a lease and a purchase you pay a negotiated price. With both a lease and a purchase the vehicle loses value. At the end of the lease period, in most cases, the amount you pay during the lease is less than the loss in value you would experience with a purchase. That is why a monthly lease payment is usually less than the monthly payment on a purchase. With a lease you have the option of purchasing the vehicle at the end of the lease. The amount you pay is the residual value. During the lease you paid the difference between the negotiated price and the residual value. So, whether you purchase or lease and buy at the end of the lease you pay the negotiated price. The one major cost difference between a purchase and a lease is the acquisition fee on a lease, often several hundred dollars. You do not pay this on a purchase. For many, this fee is justified by the ability to return the vehicle at the end of the lease.
I still have my 2006 Tundra that I bought new with cash in 2006. It has 150K miles and still looks great. Buy a good solid car, take care of it and keep it. Keep your money in the market, not the garage!
That's awesome! You are definitely the exception, not the rule! If you keep your cars this long, you are absolutely better off buying them.
I agree. and I don't see it as debt, more like condo fees or property taxes. unless it's one of the luxury SUVs that drives a million kms
@@PalisUK interesting analogy, I like it!
If someone is a second time buyer at a Mercedes dealership does that increase their chance on getting a G Wagon 63 at that same Mercedes dealership ?
Potentially, it all depends on the store and the relationship you have with them
My E63S is black. Black looks amazing for about an hour after you wash it if you dont drive it. If you do drive it maybe 15-30 mins. My CL55 is silver. I hardly ever wash it & it always looks good. 🤷
Does the OEM wait until the 1st to give you the info for the month's incentives? Also, the NORTH OLMSTED link does not take me to your dealership website but to a news channel.
They do wait until the first of the month. I’ll check the link!
For the algorithm
I appreciate you! 😂
Brian looks like your typical liar and thief and shaky friend. Money drives his world
This guy would piss me off. I'd walk out
Why’s that?
Exactly.... Luxury cars are not the same as Hondas/Toyotas etc. They will depreciate, their repairs outside of warranty will be higher. Is it fiscally more responsible to buy a Toyota and drive it into the ground? Sure but Luxury cars aren't considered a fiscally responsible decision (much like any luxury item!). With that said you do the math and even if you were to pick up a 3 year old Audi/BMW/Mercedes with 40-50% depreciation from new, after the tire changes, brakes, etc (basic upkeep) plus further depreciation as you rack up the miles. You might have saved about $3-6,000 vs someone that did a second 3 year lease. Believe it or not there are people that would rather drive new cars every 3 years and pay an extra $6,000 spread over 6 years ($83 a month). Again though theses numbers as you stated are for luxury cars.
So Honda and Toyota vehicles do not "depreciate?"
womp womp she gets a moped
yet the dealers are charging a mark up of $100K
Probably was wrecked and rebuilt and never reported
That AMG G wagon 63 I’d lease to buy. Can you show the sticker on that G wagon 63 you got inventory sir ?
That particular car is sold, but that’s a popular option with G-Wagon buyers! Lease it, write it off, buy it out at the end and have an instant massive positive equity situation!
It's a convertible if you want to ventilate the seats but the damn top down.
Does this advice also apply to a business owner who wants to take advantage of section 179 tax advantages?
Absolutely! Contrary to popular belief, section 179 can be applied to a lease as well as a purchase. Of course for the particulars you’ll want to consult with your accountant!
@ to provide some context, I have tried learning as much as possible about this portion of the tax code and whether purchasing or leasing is the best option. I started about a year ago. Over that same period of time, I was researching vehicles and ended up getting an AMG GLS 63 that I custom ordered. I live in Pittsburgh and your dealership consistently was in my search results because your inventory was always BEYOND impressive. Absolutely love the Instagram channel as well. My wife has a lease and it is up next October. In the meantime, I will continue to follow your social media and keep an eye on inventory. She absolutely loves the G class series, but it is very difficult, if not impossible to find any inventory. Thank you for your time and expertise and production of this wonderful content 🙏❤️🚙
Good info commenting to help the algorithm.
Don’t know much about RUclips yet and what works / what doesn’t but I remember in the early days of my other social medias it was much easier to engage with everyone!
I'm a buy-it-and-keep-it customer, but this is a wise pro-lease argument for the right customer, with the right needs and the right car.
For people who keep their cars for 6+ years, absolutely buy. But for many, leasing is the best option!
@BenzsandBowTies 15 years ago, I factory-ordered a Subaru Forester to get a wagon with a sunroof and a 5 speed manual trans. I should have ordered two. It looks like I'll buy a new toy and keep this as my daily driver.
Good job done by the camera person to keep you all in frame with all the moving you 3 did.
Carfax "airbags did not deploy" should be an option. Really enjoyed this Mr. Benz.
@@deanmitchell9568 I think the third party listing sites would be wise to offer a third option for minor accidents only.
The number one color still on the road from 2001 is Toyota's Desert Sand. Prove me wrong they are everywhere where I live.
If you are buying a Buick Envista there is no charge for white but all other colors have a 500 dollar charge. So is white number 1 because of customer's desire or customer's finances?
@@deanmitchell9568 there are several expensive “pearl white” paints in this number that people happily pay for. I’m sure there is a certain % that choose black and white because there is no charge, but ultimately I think consumer preference wins.
My '92 Corvette was the same color combination. Aqua over white. Everyone loved it. Its the 90's all over again.
90’s making a comeback!
Wowwwwww what’s the price sir ?
This one was 219k MSRP
@@BenzsandBowTies thx
@@BenzsandBowTies would be nice to see the sticker option on that vehicle
I can do that!
Let's see more videos on he vehicles themselves.
Thanks for posting on youtube. Tomi from Delvrd talks about you all the time but you do most of your stuff on the China app which old people like me don't trust.
I'm working on getting my videos on RUclips, thanks for watching! I also have Instagram!
Nice but when the AMG 63 G wagons coming out my kind sir ?
They have been released 2 months ahead of schedule!
@@BenzsandBowTies thank you sir . On the Mercedes site it’s not even available to build .
Is the s class coupe coming out ?
Out of production unfortunately
Wow I hope he right
Couple this or that way at that price is nothing
Mercedes: we have been ripping you off for years but only a bit by bit
You’re right this is huge news. I can’t believe more people aren’t stopping me in the streets to talk about it!
They aren’t!?
What's the price of eggs in china?
So you're buying a piece of shit for 180,000
How In hell 186k that's crazy
What am I doing with my life
does this mean if I wear a bowtie i can shit all over a Bentley?
Will trade you one 2010 Kia Rio and a 1996 Ford Fiesta for this old Bentley sight unseen.
For a sec I thought I saw Ryan Reynolds
I’ll take it!
Ryan Reynolds?
Pretty neat, never new that
You look like Ryan Reynolds
I’ll take it!
Would love to see the sticker price and a shot of the sticker on the window for future videos
Great video! thank you!
Glad you liked it!
