Where can I buy 2018 S class for 40% off MSRP?

Do your research. S-Class depreciates between 34% and 40% the first year.

Luxury flagship German sedans depreciate like bricks. You either lease them or buy them 1-3 years used.

Or if you are truly wealthy, depreciation really shouldn't be a concern.

Hope it fares better than the ‘flagship’ 7 series, which loses ~40% of its value in first year.

Just look at what the outgoing 6 series go for on the second hand market. This car should be no different 3-5 years from now.

What is annoying for me is that nobody pays rrp for a 6 series so it looks like values have dropped much more than they actually have as the real first owner price is 10-20% less normally. This is even more true in other countries, my car was rrp NZD 287k, I paid $138k as an ex demo with 4000 miles on it, and apparently the average sale price was around $200k for M6 coupes in NZ

Loos so heavy in white with those small wheels.

Never thought I would see the day that the 8 series makes its resurgence, only to be left in absolute awe of just how underwhelming the brand has become, and has become nothing more than a bloated overpriced transportation device.

I'm sure I will be quoted by some with strong disdain for my opinion, but I am also sure that I am not alone in these thoughts. 100% sure to be exact.

I think the ride will turn off many potential non-M buyers. I had to check twice to see if it was in comfort mode. For me I am a bit concerned over my future M8 order as it will be a daily driver. Only time will answer that.

Did you check the tire pressures? Most cars are delivered with over inflated tires which can make the car feel stiff. Also, did you check to make sure the shipping blocks were removed?

No since it was already prepped a few days prior and I wasn't that serious about it. My plan was more to get a feel for it and the size and handling to give me an idea for my M8 I plan on ordering. I can check the next time I am there.

I agree. Way to big of a car in my opinion. Looks nice, just not my style.
