I've traded in my 2011 Mercedes E350 coupe for the 4G GS 350. I'm happy with my decision being that the quality of Mercedes is poor these days. The woodgrain is basically glued on and peels in the hot Louisiana weather. I love my Lexus as it have great quality and performance. Have anyone else here traded in their Mercedes for a Lexus? If so are you happy with your decision?

Here my new baby tho..

Traded in my BMW last night. Power isn't there but it is a lot more fun to drive the Lexus.

Which model did you trade in?

x5 50i before that was Audi A6 and before that was CLS55....all in 6 months.

CLS55 gets my vote for best

Wow and I thought I changed cars. I had the A5, Dodge Charger Max RT, E350 Coupe and now my GS 350 all in 2 years. I'm just 24 yrs old at this rated I might have 100 cars about time I'm 50 lol. I love my Lexus the most tho maybe because it's new.

Welcome to the club! I'm 22 I traded in a VW CC, before that was a BMW 335i M Sport sedan. And about 26 cars before that...... I have really slowed down on changing vehicles since I've owned a house lol

Very nice~ Most of my families and friend switched to Lexus from BMW, Benz, and Audi lol... They are all happy with decisions.

I am the opposite. My 2013 GS F-sport is on its third battery in the 2.5 years I've had the car, and the dealer says there is no issue. Sadly, I am not the only one, several members here have the same issue. Reading in the IS forum, it seems to be starting with that model as well on the 2014 cars.

I have been looking at the Audi S5, MB E350 and am even considering downgrading and going to a truck. Guess I'm getting old (33).

I'd look at the CTS V-Sport...awesome car but was out of my range

CincyBrad

Not a fan of GM, wouldn't buy any of their products.

Love the elegance of the S5, but reliability is important to me, so it's kind of scaring me away from it. MB has gotten back on track with many models, but the pricing has gotten to be outrageous for what they are. I saw E350's for $70k. Ugh. The new S550's are beautiful sedans, but damn.......out of my range on price.

I was close to getting this one but they wouldn't budge enough on the price and gave me a low trade in. Got a 750 instead.

CTS V-Sport is rated #1 in it's class with GS350 at #2.

The highest option CTS is $72k with $65k selling price so still a bit out of my range

I looked at the performance line models of the cts. it was too small for me, I couldn't get comfortable in the drivers seat. the GS fits me much better.
