Investment implies a positive return. Do you expect either of these will appreciate?

I mean after 3-5 years which car will have better resale value.

For $350k and limited to big heavy sedans as options I'd rather have a Bentley Contingent GT or Flying Spur and $100k in my pocket, or a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo and $200k in my pocket. They're both going to get obliterated on resale value.

It's doubtful that any resale forecast will be even remotely accurate. The first fender bender is one of many possible reasons.

Which car do you prefer to drive for 3-5 years?

For that kind of money you can buy a 720S Spider. Or a low m. Huracan Performante. Much better investment.

I will never understand these cars to save my life. This is why Bentley and Rolls exist.

Neither will be investments, but in money terms the Merc will easily be the biggest loser since it’s so much more expensive to begin with.
