The GL was a new model when we bought it new. We maxed out the options and glad that we did. The cameras, Dystronic, etc. are great and provide excellent safety. We're spoiled. Update in 2020: We still use the GL daily with approx 95,000 miles on it. It's my wifes car and she loves it. Can't get her to consider a new one!

We purchased a low-mile CPO vehicle from Ft. Lauderdale Mercedes. The GL450 is a real deal compared to competing vehicles such as Lexus LX and GM Suburbans. Much nicer, better ride and more comfortable.

I bought my GL450 used—she was a peach. I did my research and test drove all the lux SUVs that would tow my airstream. Once I drove the GL450, I was sold. Great power, smooth ride, comfortable for a family of 4 -5 to take cross-country road trips or a camping trip to the mountains. She was great going up and down the mountains and maneuvered fantastic with our airstream around curves or on the Interstate. BUT...I knew going in that she would cost me a pretty penny if/when she was in the shop, so I bought the best warranty I could find. Glad I did! I had Her for a year and for four of those months, she was in for repairs to the EVAP system—Heat not working, Engine light on, EVAP pressure problems, Heat Core problems, Air Coolant Hose replaced...over $16K. Mercedes Service wasn't much help. Ready for it? Her engine caught fire while I was in line to pick up my kids at school. I WATCHED HER BURN. The investigator could not find any conclusive evidence of the cause, but he suggested it was connected to the EVAP system. So glad I wasn't on the road at the time. I LOVED everything about this car. But if you are researching a used one and see a carfax report that the EVAP, Heating, Cooling, or Exhaust system has been checked around 100K-BEWARE! It's going to cost you! Once one thing goes anywhere along the system, it stresses everything else down the line and you will live at the repair shop. BE CAREFUL.

At the end of October 2012 we traded in my wife's 2008 Mercedes 4matic (station wagon) for a new Mercedes 2013 GL550. We love the exterior design of the car and the flexibility on the interior design with the third row seats. The acceleration of the car is incredible-no problem merging onto the freeway or passing. Gas mileage is not the cars strong suit but I did not expect it to be. Now the bad, at 4000 miles the car needs new front rotors which are not yet a stocking item at my dealership-10 day wait! A In addition both side view mirrors are defective-drivers side is frosted and the passenger's side has two stripped bolts off its backing plate.

Very good car, got it used certified few years ago with 17K miles, tires lasted 30k miles, replaced them with Michelin and the ride is much better, now with 66 K miles old only brakes oil and tires were needed, love the ride, the only complain is the paint on the steering wheel is peeling off, I got one from ebay and is brand new.. good quality SUV, dealer service here in Florida. My 2008 GL320 diesel came out to be a nightmare after 100K miles, but also was a good car. paint is excellent. good suspension. had an issue with my engine light after the 60K miles service, took few days but was covered under the CPO extended, driver side lower seat cover, some crack on the vinyl, had to have it replaced, was also covered by my service adviser under warranty. Not an economical car to own without extender dealer warranty and prepaid maintenance.
