Well that’s the answer then! If I’m gonna do it, then we’ll buy it!

My guess is a 3200 lease payment. I would definitely weigh it against buying. G’s hold their value better than most other vehicles and I doubt the lease terms are going to be that favorable as the 2019 G63 is red hot right now.
Let us know how the test drive goes, I think you will be impressed one way or another. The 63 is a beast, it definitely will bring out some emotions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

One of the best, if not the best car on retaining value. Either way, you will not go wrong. It's a statement of a car, but so what. I love the G for many years, and for years I have trying to convince my wife to get one for a daily. I have not been able to convince her. Do it. Love this new one too, many many improvements.

Just because a vehicle holds its value, doesn't automatically mean a lease is a bad deal. Residuals will in fact be higher, and it could be worth more than the residual in 2/3 years. Actually look at the math on the lease and make an educated decision.
Looking forward to the photos as well. |

It's a wonderful car. Reeks for attention and speaks wealth.
If you're comfortable with that kind of attentionthen that's okay. I, myself love to see who comes out of that ride. I hope to see you soon though. lol |

It’s a car you give to your wife, total chick car. All the teenage girls get them for high school graduation around here. Our local Benz dealer charges a premium on top of the sticker for the 550 and the 63 cuz he can’t keep them in stock due to demand. Go to whole foods on a weekday afternoon or spin/yoga studios downtown, they line the streets.

Always been a fan but love the 2019 version. Little out of my comfort zone cost wise. Such a cool factor ride!

I love the vehicle.
I have only seen them in London. I doubt I will ever own one because even though they seem to retain value, I don’t see them being worth nearly twice the cost of a RR Vogue/ SE They are certainly a head turner but I think they have a slightly dodgy image. |

Its the epitome of a status symbol vehicle. What is there to really appreciate about a high HP box on wheels? Do you really find this aesthetically pleasing? To each their own and people do seem to like them but I could find a lot better ways to spend 150K on a vehicle.....

Anything at all? Any shrinkage or other rumored side effects?

And solid 24k would be the Dubai edition. Probably a typical high school graduation gift over there!
Great car though! I've always loved G wagons and would buy one in the future, although red is not my color. Let us know how the test drive goes! |

When I visited Yerevan, I saw so many G Wagons, it was just stupid. I'd see caravans of 5-6 black G Wagons driving down the street. I asked my friend who lives there what's that all about. His response? Oligarchs/gangsters. |
