G550 Reliability
Hey Everyone!! I've been considering many different benz's (amg's in particular). Can't lease these new amg's so i've been looking at used ones that i can finance. I've looked at everything from a used w205 C63s sedan to a W212 facelift E63s. I always find myself circling back to a 2013-2014 g550. I'm heavily considering throwing on a 4in lift kit with some nice wheels and off-road tires. Wanted to see what everyone thinks of them and their reliability. I also know that these G550's keep their value fairly well, which is another reason why im considering them heavily. Open to advice!!

I agree with Jpballer. These things are pretty bullet proof if maintained properly. Be sure you spend some time in a G before committing. Looking at your other considerations, the C63S and E63, there is very little comparison in every area including performance, handling, and ride comfort. The G is a unique vehicle, even a little quirky in some respects. Having the opportunity to experience "seat time" in varying driving circumstances is very important before making a purchase. Good luck with your search. By the way, I love my G but have other cars in my garage.

G550 purchase
Thanks guys! I kinda got an idea on what i should do. Probably going to see if i can ride around in my buddies for a day or two and see how the ride feels and whether or not I like it. From there I'll gauge and see how it is. Will keep you guys posted on what I end up picking up!
