2012 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL550 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Bought the first one used ultra-low mileage for 28K a couple of years ago. Was so impressed that when a second came along with even lower mileage at 22K, I couldn't resist adding that as well. We live near Yellowstone Park and at times really do need the AWD. These vehicles pamper you with a great ride and can get through virtually anything that Mother Nature throws their way. Air shocks … have to be replaced along the way (ouch), but aside from that I consider these vehicles to a tremendous bargain for the money.
Having lived with these now for a couple of years, I can say without a doubt that these are some of the best driving machines we have ever had and we have had a lot of high end vehicles over the years. I especially like the looks of these blending classic lines with aggressive details. We hope to keep these for a very long time.
