Haha. I sold my 2019 g63 I paid 162k for. Just last month
It has 22,000 miles on it I got
203 k for it on trade plus the sales tax. Put 10k down on urus order and used the rest of the cash to buy my wife a SVautoviography. I was so pumped so I figured you got him a g63 ha.

nice Mike.

But I'll stay away from cars that lead me to give gifts to dealer employees.

Something wrong in that equation

Great move, the hype is crazy right now. Personally I‘m pretty much done with the big V8s. Electric just beats it if you’re doing the kind of short distances we have here in Switzerland. So much better than ruining a performance engine by using just half of its cylinders at low city revs and arriving where you needed to go long before it ever reached the kind of temperatures it would be happy at. Accidentally stumbled into an MB hybrid at the end of last year when they were almost giving them away. This car is excellent to a point where there’s no way back. It works as a full electric about 80% of the time and goes for months before taking a new tank of fuel - in excellent comfort no less. Pretty sure my next one will be called EQ something. And I say this as the son of a race driver who literally grew up among flat sixes on the various tracks of Europe.
