Bought an 08 GL550 5 years ago when my daughter was born and it has been an awesome family hauler since. Biggest mistake people make with any used euro car is buying the cheapest unit with no maintenance history. If you have to go to a dealer for every small item that comes up these cars are not for you because labour costs will add up quickly. I'm not a mechanic by any means but I have been able to DIY pretty much every issue I've had with it. Like you mentioned you can find everything these days on youtube/forums and order quality parts from companies like fcpeuro which significantly reduce owner ship costs.

I have a 2012 GL550, removed the Resonator and the mufflers and had an x-pipe installed and it freaking rocks!!! It passes smog in CA. Highly recommend it. Sounds amazing!!!

We have had one when we lived in the US from 2017 to 2020 and it was super reliable aside from the air suspension. The build quality is not as good as on the German cars (the real ones actually made in Germany), but interior was way nicer than on all US cars from the time. Air suspension is not a big deal, either, as the parts are not super expensive and are actually comparatively easy to change on the GL. In the rear it literally takes only half an hour!

Hoovie was complaining about the diesel model in particular. I don't think the gas GL had half the problems that the diesels did

There are coli over struts available for many air suspension vehicles. SUV looks sharp.

I use the screen in my vehicle all the time. I like a big screen that's easy to read, plus I don't like having everything tied to my phone. I don't even use my phone for music because I have a bunch of my favorite songs saved on a thumb drive that I have plugged into the USB port. Works like a charm!
