He's referring to a used 2014 model.

Interesting. I thought I had posted that response in the thread for heat and the leather interiors. I don't know how it would up here ....perhaps (?) my mistake.

that GS interior is gorgeous; stands out and for the long run I'd do the GS as well. Nothing against the E class, I believe MB has made significant strides but fast forward 5 years and 60k miles later, you'll either have a GS with 105k miles or an E class with 90k miles....which one would you think would be easier to sell/have a higher trade?

Outside of finances, I find the E class ride smoother (but the GS wasn't meant to drive like a luxobarge) so depends on what your personal tastes lean towards. I'd almost go as far as recommend you bypass a 5year/60k mile coverage for the GS, save some $$.

There's a big difference between the way the 4GS suspension was set up compared to the previous generation: 3GS, E Class and 5 Series.
This graph is supplied by Lexus.




C/G = Current Generation
N/G = Next Generation

I'd go with the MB since you're getting that warranty

That was my exact conflict lol. The inside of the Lexus needs to be the inside of the benz and it's a win. I went with the Lexus!
