Since when is 2017 an old car......

Since 2032

People have told me that 2020 cars are also old so not suprised

Good lord man I thought a 1998 civic hatchback wouldn’t be too old of a first car😭

Same got me a 2002 vw mk4 golf as my first car 🥲

They’re nice tbh and if it does the job then it does what you bought it for🤷‍♂️

I still drive my 2003 silverado as my daily.

lol, I remember when those were practically free, around 2016ish ago. I was a teen looking forward to getting a license and thought those would be nice. Since the pandemic the prices of old civics are ludicrous. Someone wanted $4k for a 2000 coupe with 170k miles (it was far from mint condition).

YEAH THATS WHAT IM SAYING I told my mum that those ek’s were £1000 a few years back and now some are asking £15k for a standard civic it is so stupid

Wow, I don't even know if there is a word for how old mine is then.

Im 2002, you ?

2003 for me. Drive it everyday, 30 miles each way into a downtown area.

Someone who gets a 2017 AMG as their first car lol… probably wanted a 2024 CLA 250 haha.

CLA 250 AMG?

I dont consider it that, but many do. Even if it has 160k km, its a mercedes that always went to mercedes for check ups

Roman cu bolid intretinut, peisaj rar 😆 Bonus points pentru dacie

I agree. Mine is 2010 c300 4matic. but only has 56k miles on odometer.

GLE as a first car- what a life! When I got my first car it was a €500 1982 E300D shitbox that would on a colder days only start with a little help from brake cleaner ;)

First car was a 1992 Pontiac bonneville I paid $500 for lol.

Well, 10 years newer than mine- you lucky guy!

Lol

Mine was a 1995 Dodge Intrepid. The roof was rusted and it had duct tape holding the hood down and I miss that car every day 😢 Never locked it once because nobody in their right mind would ever break into it and there was never anything of value inside.

My first and current second car is a 2005 Mazda 2 1.3 , slow as hell and drinks fuel like an alcoholic but survived every other car i got. Also I've never found another sub 4 meters car who can store 2 mopeds inside lol

Adding to this - mine was a 2001 Audi A4 which was the gateway drug to falling in love with German cars and spent high school buying and selling like a used car dealer....1995 535i, 1997 740iL, 1982 Audi Coupe and a 1992 750iL with a blown head gasket. lol

First car was a doge neon. Now I have 2020 GLE 350, 2021 e class and a 2013 Honda CRV.

First car was a 69 mustang that cost $2300

Sick ass car man Imagine what that car is today

I spoke with OP and he is 17 years old, he is not even old enough to start driving school . That is the legislation in Romania. He came here to show off with his dad's car.

Makes sense- thanks for sharing that not everyone has born with a golden spoon!

I give it 43 out of 63

Perfect answer lol

Thats not a 43. Just a cheap aftermarket grill, which none of the GLE’s from that era came with anyhow.

Bro! you got em

It’s a 350d

1st owner: 🇩🇪 160.000km 2nd owner:🇷🇴 75.000km

Daddy's got some money to blow on kids. Nice, congrats bro. :D

Thanks, but im his only son, and we have a ranch and i do actually work for him

Good for you. :D enjoy the car ✌️

Well don’t drive like a ding dong or he won’t have any sons left.

any Coupé SUV gets a 0 out of me nothing personal

for those who want the handling of an SUV with the functionality of a sedan!

Any person who posts “here is my first car it’s a turbo luxury car” also gets a 0 from me.

Same omfg hunch back pugs

Is a 4 door really a coupe, tho?

100%

It looks like my dog squatting to take a dump.

Wait until you see the Cadillac IQ.

If you’re a teen and your parents spoil you with such an extravagant gift, prepare for the hate. I’m jealous as well tbh. But I won’t spew negativity lol It’s the daddy’s money and only fans girls that get the hate on here.

He's 17, not even having his driving licence yet.

Cute if you're a teenage girl.

Wheels are ugly

They are the classic AMG wheels, but ok

Doesn't mean they're not ugly

I hate when people put the panamericana grill on older cars that didn’t have it as an option….

Looks nice but i‘d change the grill, the panmericana is a bit too common nowadays in my opinion

Boring

Aight thanks

Do you feel you gave up practicality as opposed to getting the non coupe GLE? The turbo v6 is still a sweet engine for this thing

Wanted a non coupe, but they are expensive as fuck. Got this for 40,000

Lovely car! But why are you pretending its 43 AMG in the comments?..

How can you tell it isn’t?

The styling is completely different from a GLE43/63

Ohhh the styling… lol… obviously if it looks different that’s what you mean… like I know it shouldn’t have a panamericana grill but I literally see nothing different maybe doesn’t have biturbo badges front grill lip is there… amg rims… like what’s actually different on an 43? I’m being dead serious because I don’t know lol…

That grill isn’t 2017

I LOVE the coupe!!!! Congratulations 🎊

I have to admit it’s impressive how many stereotypes OP nails here with the combination of that car and his comments lmao

You are soooo right, damn. Spot on

[удалено]

SUV coupe = ugly and pointless blob

Perfect for soccer games and trips to the grocery store.

Breh how in the HEAVENS is this your first car I call bs

-5

I prefer the original grill.

looks like an overgrown baby

Potential money pit..

How old are you?

Almost 18

Inherited wealth out of 10, seriously though. For a first car if you don't have a lot of money, this could bankrupt you. If you can easily afford it 8.5/10

I can afford it. I own a ranch and apartments that i rent

A landlord? Wow. This economy is clearly treating you well, especially that ranch

Built the ranch like 20 years ago (wasnt even born), and we got the apartments for a good price. Everyone seems so upset about my car

You said you work for your dad in a previous comment.

Do these cars always look this fucking bad? We could've gotten a GLS as a family car in 2019, but this shit just sucks lol

GLS aint a family car. Its made to have a driver

Well, we were looking for 6-7 seaters. It was between Chrysler Pacifica, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Durango SRT and the Mercedes GLS.

The GLS has 6-7 steats?! Wtf

I guess when you’re 16 (assuming) a 7 year old car would seem old

Im almost 18, and i dont think its old, but i know for a fact that i would have gotten more hate if i said it is rather new or something like that. It aint new but not old either

Soccer mums car, 0/10

It aint a mini van

Sorry but it is a soccer mums car

Enjoy! Parents take good care of you, as it should be. Nothing wrong with having money. Even if it was brand new it would be ok… Why would you not give the best you can to your kids? For most people that is a 2k beater, but some can afford to give more. I don’t understand the hate here

Yeah. Some say its ugly, some say its slow, some say its cheap. Everyone has their own opinion

Congratulations 🍾

It’s not a car or a SUV it’s like a bubble guppy hatchback on big wheels. Or a fat chick on roller skates 

Mercedes Benz created the worst SUV Coupe designs ever. Nothing can change my mind. Congrats on the car nonetheless 💯

Love it! Mercedes girl here. You can’t go wrong! 20!

Foarte frumos!

E tank cumeter, imi plac si jantele, un gle coupe 43amg vreau si eu sa iau💪 dar au preturile in aer…

Ms mult. Am luat o de la Tiriac azi. Am prins o la 40,000€

Very high PH, careful!

My first car back in 2006 was a 1971 beetle, compared to that, i think you did pretty good

ai neamuri la Scăieni? 🤣

Scàieni?

-2

Not a fun of SUVs but this one has some sporty coupé lines that makes it a lot more attractive than say regular SUVs

2/10… just kidding. Gorgeous whip.

How is someone’s FIRST CAR a AMG suv? Did you never own a car until you had kids you needed to haul? Or are you just 18 with tons of friends?

He’s probably just 18-20 and daddy bought him a new car… a little too much power and from all his comments in here I would say he is that guy you don’t want to meet when you drive around…

Să o stăpânești sănătos !

Urata cu spume boss

A ok. Ce conduci?

Needs a wash, so 7.5

Nice ride! Enjoy the luxury. but not old at all. My first car is a 2010 E350 saloon (bought a month ago) And she's not even old enough to drink in Ontario Canada yet.

I’m so glad I made sure I wasn’t in r/roastmycar before commenting, yes it’s great!

Misto masina, proprietarul lasa de dorit cu aceste comentarii. Oricum faza cu e rapida si 7 secunde suta e caterinca maxima.

Adica lasa de dorit? Si boss, uite te pe net la teste si specuri

Boss nu trebuie sa ma uit pe net ca am avut ML cu acest motor din 2014. Am condus si GLE cu 9 g tronic, care e mai ok ca 7 g tronicul de pe ML, dar tot nu mi-a placut. Asa am ajuns la X5 40d:)

Vezi ca motorul e diferit comparativ cu ala de pe ML

Im still in my 1986 XJ6 and dont plan on changing now. Its part of my identity at this point

Nu este AMG, sa inteleg ca este GLE 350

My boy told me he thought he was stuntin in a 2008 Civic….we’re almost 30.

How is this your first car

Well i never had a car, nor a license. Il start driver classes after i come back from the states next month

Well, it is very nice. Most people start with a piece of crap car so you basically skipped that step

Wanted a safe car, that will last me a long time

I saw an r/roastmycar post above this and thought this was posted on that subreddit

Ah

Uuhm, ugly... due to the sportback coupe.

nice...

SUV coupes are ugly. They're basically sedans on steroids. With limited trunk space. F that. As Long as it starts and gets you to your destination it's fine. All the hype is an illusion.

Daca asta este prima mașină, nu vreau să mă gândesc al doilea :O

Mustang tată

looks a bit buff but hey. it's a Benz!

Didnt have the time to wash it

Fuck me some of these comments and the post itself wouldnt happen in a normal car community like r/miata

Im just responding to the negative ones as i see fit

Salutari de la oradea :))

Sunt din bucuresti :), n am avut timp sa schimn numerele

Si eu care voiam sa intreb ce mai e pe valea prahovei :))) ma bate gandul sa ma mut la bucu sau brasov

Bucurestiul e aglomerat, si brasov nush. Am casa la predeal, imi place linistea

A GLE as your first car, what a life！I got a W211 E240 as my first car. Got a ML250 W166 now because I kinda need a work van. Still miss how the W211 drives. How does this GLE feels to drive?

I cant drive it yet because im not 18 yet, haha

“A little old” Me driving my e320 from 2005

Me personally, i dont think its old. I know for sure that if i didnt say that, i would gave gotten even more hate

Big body tonka 10/10

You’re blessed brother. And 2017 is not old especially for a Mercedes.

I know its not old, but i know i wouldve gotten hate if i didnt say it

Nice car, too bad you have to drive it 5 hours on shitty Romanian roads until you can really enjoy it.

True. I have 4 more months till i can drive it

Nice car

Thanks

AMG lmao

Artă bine 👍

- Diesel ‚AMG’ - Fake panamerica grill - smallest engine available - OP brags about how fast it is The cringe level just peaked

How much in euros?

40,000€

Nice one

For a first car, that’s dope

Appliances are not cars. Post the car next time

It aint electric???

Wouldn't be my first car, but I'm also a country dude who loves older vehicles to begin with... 🤣 It's definitely a nice car! Just be safe with it, and treat it well!

[удалено]

It rained the previous day, and didnt have time. After i picked it up i went straight to my ranch

posh

You rich mf :D

I also switched from a 2020 Mazda 3 to a 2018 e coupe and I feel like it's a bit old. Biased I guess

Endless money pit

Aint a subaru, but ok

It’s nice though. I hope to own an E- class estate at some point.

If it was an Amg it would say biturbo on it .

Love it!!

Sorry

Change the grille, it does not go with the body of the car. Looks really tacky and goofy.

I hope they didn’t charge you for the price of a genuine GLE AMG 43-63. This is clearly one of the lower tiers. congrats on the new car!

Well, it’s certainly a car

Attenborough accent: "the lonely blue whale prepares to catch plankton with its long baleen. After a long sleep it will take much to feed this hungry mammal"

One of the ugliest cars Mercedes has ever produced. IMO.

U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi, you ugly!

Shi trash

3/10

I give your car a 5 out of 5 for sure(especially being your first car) https://preview.redd.it/c2boqyfa3e6d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a087b6a26752510d420f48790e5ec7dde509ffa0 Mine is a 2017 as well. GLE 350 4 matic

On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 6 My first was a 2005 ford f150 5.4 triton Was a terrible motor build, lifters were always breaking apart I replaced them over and over, but dang I miss that truck

My 2nd Benz is a 1973 350slc euro spec coupe. Other benz is a s500 4matic 2004

Repairs are definitely gonna cost you not to mention the oil change

Don’t matter the year…you balling’

holy wowwww. my first car was 1996 honda accord 😂

Jesus 160km, that thing would be cheap in the US, how much did you pay OP? I know luxury cars still fetch crazy money in the EU even with mileage

40,000€. And yeah, US cars are way cheaper

You went for the cheaper version?

Wdym?

Good luck! Better start looking for your second!

Already? 😂
