2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 — need advice: CPO luxury SUV or brand-new mainstream SUV?

Budget works for either a lightly used luxury SUV or a new mainstream model with a full warranty. I'm more worried about three-to-five-year ownership cost and service downtime than the purchase price. How would you compare them? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

Same neighborhood, different next step: A written buyer’s order on the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
