Trading in my beautiful 2021 Denali for Mercedes Benz GLE 450

[ruise]

I have a herniated disc in my lower back and getting up in and out of my Denali puts undue strain on my lower back. As a result, I have ordered a 2023 Mercedes Benz GLE 450 4-Matic. My new vehicle was built on January 5 so I'm just awaiting delivery from Alabama to Louisiana.

My dealer is offering my $73,000 for my Denali. What kind of trade-in numbers are you guys seeing?

Well I hope this works well for you, I have same issues with my back and more and I need the SUV's/Trucks to make it easier to get in. I can't get into the cars/small suv's as they are to low and it kills my back trying to get into them

I have some back and leg problems that pretty-much stop me from driving the wifey's GLE450 for more than a few minutes.

This past November I test drove a 2021 GLS450 and didn't care for its somewhat confining driver's cockpit nor its sporty seats, although the GLS adaptive suspension made for smooth ride over minor bumps.

That's ^^^ what has gotten me down into the Tahoe-Suburban rabbit hole, LOL !!

I test drove a GLS 450 but could not swallow the 96,000 price tag. Hoping to enjoy the GLE450

My wife has a 2022 GLE350 and it's been a great car. Very comfortable even with not having the air suspension. For being a midsize SUV I fit very well in it, plenty of headroom, and shoulder width. I'd drive a GLE if someone took my Tahoe away

I took delivery of my 2023 GLE 450 on Monday, 1/23. I LOVE it!!!

This car drives like a magic carpet. There are tons of things that I still have to figure out.

I miss my Yukon, but am loving to drive my GLE.

You’ll Love the 9G-Tronic transmission, shifts as fast/crisp like a sports car. 75000Miles later ours still drives like new. 1300RPM @ 70MPH. just did the transmission service on ours, bit of an ordeal but got it done.

We have the 9g also and its fantastic. Always in the right gear. 62k and we did the service recently. Ours is like a new truck at 62K, very different quality, but they have issues too. We havent had one issue in 62K! Having a hard time wrapping my head around 85k for a GM product that has this many issues...and I am a huge Gm fanboy. The Babymax sierra has been pretty flawless have to say.

Don't worry too much for every person that has issues there are thousands that don't. And that is true with every brand. It really is just luck sometimes. My wife has had 4 generations of range Rovers and never an issue. But go onto the forums and it's a different animal. On the flip side there are people who think toyotas are unreliable based on their specific experiences.

The mantra is whatever it is you have to like it otherwise anything will be a step too far.
