Moved to Forum: Original Link 33% Luxury Car Tax on above threshold price was omitted in the price, this deal is unobtainable. — Mod

Phew! Glad I held out on buying the Lotus, Renault, Peugeot, BYD and Tesla because Mercedes Benz has decided to have a fire sale on EVs and slashed prices of the EQE range including the AMG EQE 53 by up to $23k!
Even better is that some of the in stock AMGs are priced below the online configurator drive away pricing in Melbourne so you might be lucky if you get in early to grab one.

The new prices for the Mercedes electric SUVs are:

EQE 300 – $124,383 before on-roads (down $10,517)
AMG EQE 53 4Matic+ – $166,691 before on-roads (down $23,209)

EQE AMG 2024 owner here. I would buy Tesla MY over this any day of the week.
The tech for this car is ancient compare to Tesla.

The only thing this car has over the Tesla is the suspension.

Disclosure: I also have Tesla MY as a 2nd car.

Clearly I'm just getting too old, or poor.

But I grew up with BMW's being my favourite car, and still appreciating a nice Mercedes Benz.

I just can't unsee the value cutting on these cars now. Faux leather. Shiny plastic chrome. Piano black everywhere. Rims that are machined not to dissimilar to what you would get from Tempe tyres.
They honestly look like Korean cars. For the cash I just didn't feel the Benz was up to par.

Going back to 90s, owning a merc and BMW was so special. Well made cars. A dream to own. Not too many. Then the A class, 1 series and X1s get released and now we are dealing with FWD Toyota's that appeal to wannabe German car owners.

I went and looked at a 330 about 5 years back, brand new. Bloody thing had a plastic steering wheel. The mercs, usually understated and over engineered I went shopping a few weeks ago and looked at the GC300.

I still love the AMGs and M sports, but getting a low entry 3 series or C class is just not that great so they can stick their non negotiating sticker prices.

End rant. But please, let me know of you'd like me to elaborate further.

  Toyota's that appeal to wannabe German car owners
  
  People don't buy Toyota because they are "wannabe German car owners".
  
  Since the 90s, people bought Toyota/Lexus when they want a reliable, well enginnered car that can last way past 100k. People buy BMW and Mercedes for the "luxury feel". You backed this up because everything you like/dislike about Mercedes were decorative.

  I do love a good piece of engineering but sadly these have become ticking timebombs and I do not have that kind of money lying around for unexpected repairs.
  The tech in these showcase pieces are ancient compared to some of the other modern vehicles. I was once considering to get one, but when the sales bloke was going over the upgrade packages I simply lost it realising the base model of the suvs are so garbage that you'd have to spend alot more money on top of that to get a decent spec with somewhat modern tech. It literally felt like buying a budget airline ticket and spending a whole lot of extra $ on basic extras to get a decent flying experience.

  I drove a BMW 135i 2008 model for just over 10 years, so my experience isn't the most recent. I compare it mainly to the two newer cars we've owned - 2015 Nissan Qashqai and 2019 Kia Sportage.
  
  Even though the BMW is older and had much fewer features (base spec - which included the sports pack), it does the small things right. For example, climate control works. I can use the same setting (19C) summer and winter and forget about it. With both the Nissan and Kia, 22C in winter feels cold and 18 C in summer feels hot. Cruise control works better. It's one flick of a lever instead of 2 buttons I have to press to set a speed. It also accelerates to the set speed relatively quickly.
  
  There were a couple more things I remember annoying me from the newer cars, but it's been a while, so I don't remember so well.
  
  It's an unfair comparison, but the engine in the BMW was just so much better, it was incredible. The manual gearbox was much nicer than the Nissan's manual, and the loaner (14-ish) 320i I had, had a much better auto gearbox than the Kia we drive now. I really enjoyed driving the BMW, whereas the Kia is like a fancy washing machine - I'm glad I have the features, but no-one wakes up and looks forward to doing a load of washing.
  
  About the steering wheel, I noticed that if you don't choose the Sports Steering wheel, it's a thin crappy thing in BMWs. Probably the same with other options these days. This is of course one of the big problems with a brand like BMW - almost everything is an optional extra. My BMW could at least play MP3 CDs, one model down the rung and it was an optional extra. As it was, my car's original owner didn't choose the radio with Bluetooth and USB support.
  
  Is it worth the price though? Every time I think I want to buy a BMW again I see what it costs compared to the competition and resign myself to having to fiddle with climate control into perpetuity.

  It was a slow, slow creep through the model range.
  
  As you said, the A Class came out and was immediately budget junk, but everything else was still OK. Then throughout the 00s the C class began dropping dramatically in quality, but the E and S class were both still good.
  
  Then from the W213 in 2016 the E class started to suffer as well. Their electric range has been garbage since the start.
  
  Wonder how long the S class can hang on.

  The price of a car is paid just in taxes. If you have that much money you'd be silly not to have a second home overseas that isn't subject to these ludicrous taxes. All the super rich Aussies I have known in the past did this, a Porsche is almost half the price in the USA compared to here.
- skillet on 28/05/2024 - 09:44
  
  $80k? Your being optimistic. EV cars don't hold value as well as ICE or hybrid. Also such it's pretty poor sales that's why they are forced to discount their prices. Merc will be forced to lower their prices if they want to stay in the game as the other EV brands are also lowering their prices.

        I just want a better product at a lower cost. If that's an EV then I'll happily buy one. Currently that isn't the case, and so I question the big push for something that is not viable for a lot of people.
        
        EV prices are dropping as it becomes more mainstream
        
        Well if you look at sales figures, they not growing at anywhere near the expected rate. Almost no sales growth in the last 12 months is a huge red flag. Currently about 8% market share which is the same as Q2 last year. You can't get from 8% to 20 or 30 or 40% with no growth.
        
        The drop in price is most likely due to massive oversupply as the anticipated demand failed to materialise.

        Anti EV people in Australia always say EV's are not viable for "a lot" of people which I find intriguing. Yes, I agree it's not viable for people in the rural area with limited charging infrastructure, it's not viable for people who need high towing capacity etc but I wouldn't say that's "a lot" given roughly 11% of the population live in outer regional ares or remote areas.

        No, but try to convince him of that…
        
        For car purchases, people seem to put a lot of worth into the 'option value' of what they might do with the car, rather than what they'll do with the car 99% of the time.

        Agree again. For now… There are sacrifices and benefits. Whether they're worth it for you is your decision. I don't have an EV now as there's no affordable option I can easily fit 2 kids and 2 large dogs in, and I'm not spending EV cash 2nd runaround car, when my old Civic still runs okay.

        True, but zero growth is a huge red flag especially since prices are dropping through the floor and people still arent buying them. This tells us that 'most people' probably don't want one.
        
        Anti EV people in Australia always say
        
        Anti EV people? I'm not anti-EV, I just try to take a balanced approach. If people aren't buying something, it's usually because they don't want it. Is that Anti EV? I also don't own a smart watch, does that make me anti smart watch? Or maybe I just have no use for one and choose to spend my money on other things?
        Maybe 'pro-EV people' could accept that some people haven't bought into their hobby the same way they have?
        
        but I wouldn't say that's "a lot" given roughly 11% of the population live in outer regional ares or remote areas.
        
        And this is where the analysis falls over. There's multiple reasons that EV's don't offer value. Range is one, range anxiety is another, charging is another (not everyone has access to charging), cost is another, depreciation risks, practicality (towing hauling stuff etc), maintenance (battery management is non trivial).
        When you stack them all up, it's not a convincing argument for many, hence why they chose to spend their money on other things.

        @1st-Amendment: And how many are not interested because they have been brainwashed by all the non-sense and false myths about EV's that floats around on the internet? Quite a large number I think. You just have to look at the comments section of any news article about EV's to gauge the public perception of what owning an EV is like. Until you own one, you don't know what it's like. I also had zero interest in EV's until I bought my first almost 2 years ago now and will never go back to owning an ICE car again.
        
        All the issues you raised will affect only the minority of people in Australia, certainly not the majority.

        Cost? Have you seen the cost of ICE cars recently?
        
        Yes have you? Hyundai Kona petrol is $35k the electric version of the same car is $54k. And that's before depreciation.
        
        Maintenance? What maintenance?
        
        Don't let the battery fall below 20%, Don't over charge it, don't get too hot, or too cold, if you're going on a road trip you need to plan all your stops. etc etc. Always double checking that you have enough charge to get where you are going etc etc This all requires effort. I have a friend with a Tesla, he spends more time babysitting it than a child. We all own mobile phones, we know how batteries behave. If you like that more power to you, but why do you need to get everyone else to join your fan club?

        @1st-Amendment: Typical response from anti EV zealot LOL
        
        This sums up how cultish EV zealots have become. Why aren't you buying my shit product, the only possible explanation is that you must be brainwashed…
        
        Where did I say you have to buy an EV? My issue is with idiots who won't even consider an EV, not because it doesn't suit their lifestyle, but because they believe in the non sense like "batteries will die after 5 years", "it will catch fire", "it's bad for health because of EMF radiation". The list goes on.
        Have you owned or driven one? I bet you haven't either. It seems you are the one who is brainwashed since I owned both ICE and EV cars and know what they are like to own. If you can't see how crazy this makes you look, you are clearly brainwashed. If I only owned an EV, it would be a different story.
        
        My point is you don't know what it's like until you have owned it and 99% of people complaining about EV's have never owned one let alone driven one.
        
        Good for you. So why aren't happy and move on with your life? Why do think everyone else should be just like you? Do you also complain if people drink different beer or back a different football team?
        
        Feel free to what you want, but what makes you think I'm not "moving on with my life". You are not that important haha
        
        Yes have you? Hyundai Kona petrol is $35k the electric version of the same car is $54k. And that's before depreciation.
        
        Ah, you've proven yourself to be one of the silly anti-EV brigade by coming up with this most stupid argument. You do realise one car is better equipped and offers far greater performance (0-100 time of 6.8s vs 8.5s) also? It's no different to where manufacturers have different specs for a model that they sell which offers different levels of equipment and performance. You may as well BMW M3 is a rip off because you can buy BMW 320i for less than half the price LOL
        What a truly stupid argument. Surely you can do better?

        You are like the most stereotypical anti EV brigade person I've seen. All of the stuff you whinge about is non issue for the vast majority people who actually own one. What does your friend do to babysit the Tesla he/she has? I'm intrigued to find out.

        I can see you are a serial pest whenever there's any EV deals posted here LOL Why does it bother you so much that there are people who like EVs? Not everyone wants your BBQ sauce. In your mind you might think you are not biased, but you are just one of those anti EV zealots. Nothing more. Come back when you have at least driven one. Until then you are just talking out of your arse about something you have no clue about.

Didn’t Mercedes pull out of EQ ? Will they come back ?
- browser on 27/05/2024 - 23:30
  
  +3
  
  No, they are just phasing out the EQ branding, because most series have electric versions now, including the G wagon. So they have stopped naming them EQ-something on new models.
  
  There's also rumour they are stopping development on large electric platforms, will continue with the medium platform.
  
  In any event, Merc EV is here to stay in the foreseeable future.
- buckster on 28/05/2024 - 07:30
  
  They just undid their commitment to a full phase-out of ICE by whatever year, not pulling out

  The only way to buy any new EV at the moment is GFV finance in my opinion. That's if they even allow that on these models and if they do, it still may not be worth it if they think a $160k+ car is going to be worth sub $80k in two years which, unfortunately, is looking pretty likely given the current used car market for EVs. You're paying for it either way.
  
  If you buy an EV with cash you are pretty much throwing money in the bin at this stage.
  …but I guess if you've got $160k to buy a car with cash, you might not care.

I actually think the exterior and interior look nice. But not 80-100k nicer than byd seal 3.8 or tesla model x/y performance.

Pity there's a large price gap between this and say a huracan which i can also afford. A man can dream….
