Could someone edit my husband out of this photo? Starting over soon with my kids and I would like to have something fairly recent of us together. I've tried several times on AI and it gets the bodies right but changes our faces. I really appreciate it.
Hi! I have an 8 year old, 110k mile Nissan Armada that has hit the point where it needs all kinds of repairs and eats through batteries stranding me all different places at least once a year. I am in the middle of a divorce and do not want to dump 5k into this car because my kids are grown and I don't necessarily need my huge car anymore, especially when I'm spending up to $400 a month on gas. Plus it will invariably break down again or need more money put in within a year of my divorce finalization because, life.
I have driven or researched pretty much every PHEV option out there and have totally fallen in love with the GLC 350e. I'm actively working on finding a great CPO deal, likely from out of state, through direct dealer contacts as well as my local dealer keeping an eye on the wholesale market for me. They are also wanting to try to sell me a new one if we can make the numbers work. I am trying to come in at no more than around 50-53k. The car seems to be everything I want and I believe that if I have a payment coming in at about 300 a month because I am saving so much on gas, it's the much better long term decision for me with the changes I have coming up.
My question is this: I keep hearing things about MBs being unreliable and breaking down at 100k. I'm not THAT concerned about the latter, I can deal with that down the line, but the former does concern me about unreliability. Obviously I will still have warranty for a while but what is your experience with reliability in the MB vehicles, specifically the 350e? And also, if you have any other helpful hints on information I can throw out to support that it's a reliable car, or other upsides, I would really appreciate it. My estranged husband is furious and claims that I am just fine with this car and moving into being on my own with it even though he is well aware of the history on this car. It's pretty rich he is taking that position since the car I had before this one was ALSO an Armada and when it hit this mileage and issues, he agreed it was a better choice to trade it in for a new one.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi! I am looking to buy a CPO 2023 XC60 PHEV in the next day or two. It's got almost 30k miles on it, Ultimate trim level, protection and climate packages, sound upgrade, power tailgate, air suspension, 22" wheel upgrade. Original sticker was 78k. I've test driven it when they got it in from lease turn-in but that was before its detailing and CPO inspection/repairs. Today they are doing that and it's getting new brakes and new tires. I feel like it's a good find. I have researched them and have seen a few things on here about software updates to 2023s having been problematic recently. I'm coming from a 2018 Platinum Nissan Armada so it's going to be an adjustment in size, electronics, and lux feel for sure. Welcoming any and all input! thanks!
