Is New York affected by Trudeau?

He would certainly like to think so.

Bidenflation is a real thing too

Anyone want a "cheap" EQS?

First year? I thought they had to discount them by 50% just to get people to buy them in the first place

These weren't $100,000 before, were they? I thought they used to be like $60k.

90k now. Isn’t that like.. a great price for that car? I thought they were worth more than that.

Aren’t the engines time bombs that only silly amounts of money can fix?

Well, new I'm sure they likely were worth more. But it's old enough to have its own driver's license and has 100,000km on it. I haven't been keeping track of the prices of them because it's only now that they can be imported, but I don't think they would have been on my radar at all if that's what they've always cost.

"Black Series" is a very different AMG animal.

Right, but a comparison between that car now and say 5 years ago is what I'm looking for. I'm not terribly interested in why it costs what it does.

[killramos]

if I recall they were around 100-120k new

And have been basically flat since then either due to appreciation or inflation.

Fair, and I definitely don't know. I've been frustrated by the idea of ultra-premium C-class Mercedes since it became a thing. I think it's silly and watering down the brand.
*Which is not to say by ANY means that these C AMG Blacks aren't terrific machines. I just think it's the wrong way for premium brands to do their thing.

But don't worry, one day, I'll be running the show and shit is gonna go down...
