Exciting updates are coming from Mercedes-Benz! Major refreshes and new models like the GLE, GLS, GLA, and GLC EV are right around the corner. Get ready for new technology and designs and DEALS on the outgoing models.

Leasing a car offers protection against depreciation. At lease end, you can buy it, turn it in, or use equity for a new car. It's best for people who want to switch cars every few years. If you keep cars for 6+ years, buy them, always.

Considering a Mercedes? Wait for the new 2027 "shiny new toys", or snag a deal on the outgoing 2026s?

Don't be fooled.. financing a car does not mean you own it. If you find yourseld trading cars every 2-3 years, leasing not only makes more sense, it will keep you in cars with new technology and full factory warranties. It's a win-win.

Mercedes-Benz is pushing 24-month leases hard this month! Accelerate your timeline and get into a new car sooner with strong deals on core models like C-Class, GLA, GLE, and GLC. Plus, get $1,500 off if you have a 2020 or newer competitive car.

Gated manual, V10, supercars in general? Their value is only going up. Limited availability, insane demand, and no new ones like them. Do you believe it's market manipulation or is this true demand pumping up the value of vehicles that can't be replaced?

Negotiation model or best price up front model for car shopping? I think you can make a case for either, but I believe that best price up front is a win-win for 95% of car shoppers.

07/14/2026

New to car sales? (Or any sales?) My best advice is to find the top performers and hang around them as much as you can. Listen, observe, ask a lot of questions. The low performers? They are much more available to talk to, but you MUST avoid them, they will drag you down.

Cash is king in real estate, not car sales, because of the ease of completing the transaction. Yes, car dealerships profit by arranging financing on behalf of car buyers, but there can also be incentives to finance through captive lenders (the bank of the manufacturer) for car shoppers that make their cash worth less.

07/06/2026

Huge news for car fans! We finally know the Mercedes-Benz CLE 63 AMG is coming. Spy shots confirm the V8. I am anticipating a model year 2028 launch as well as updates to the CLE 53 AMG.
