I did the pre-owned thing for 5 cars...all high end. Three were great joys to own. Two were nightmares of the highest degree. My SC is definitely a joy. I'll keep her forever.....unless someone makes an offer I can't refuse.

As for my lease experience...I'll do my maintenance and proper care. I'm a car guy. I wouldn't want to be responsible for passing on a problem to someone else. I've been there, I know how it feels. Heck, I haven't even hit the gas hard on the G yet and it's killing me.

yup agree. unless it's someone i really know, not sure if i want to get used car again. the headaches to come could be painful, even for less money

^^^ What he said. Since you've only got the car for a year, don't throw any unneeded money at it.

If it wasn't reggie, I thought this thread was about the Benz G wagon.

I got Tein H-Tech springs installed on the G today. The front is nice and low. The rear doesn't look different. I'm hoping there will be some settling of the rear in the next few days. Still looks pretty good. The rear of the G drops when it's put in gear so I'm sure that's why the springs are so modest with the drop.
Pics to come this weekend.

I'm trying to decide if I'd want to buy your leased vehicles CPO or if I would NOT want to buy them CPO ... I guess all the OEM running stock would be in good shape b/c you'd have taken it all off for nearly the duration of the lease ...
