Advice on a 2018 G550

Good morning Benz friends!

I'm looking to add a G in the garage next to my 2018 C63S. The one I'm going to look at tomorrow is a 2018 G550 in Designo Magno Platinum (Matte Finish) and P19 limited edition package? I'm not entirely sure what that limited edition package is. It looks to only have had one owner. The biggest question I have is what should I look for in terms of issues/service potential? It's at an MB dealership, which makes me feel good and is certified.

Thanks for your advice!

The dealership should show you the car fax and also pul up the service history for you. I'd say you are in pretty good shape with the CPO given the details of service and ownership check out. Good luck and post some pictures.

This, typically trouble free. It's a great truck and a blast to drive.

They don't have the mileage on the website, I called the dealership and they said just under 70k. That feels pretty heavy for a 2-3 year old car. Might have to pass.

That is high. I'd keep looking.

70k on a 2018 is obscenely high. what is the asking price?

If it’s certified and you are thinking of driving the hell out of it, I wouldn’t be too worried about the mileage as long as the price is right and the condition is good. you can take advantage of the unlimited mileage warranty!

My 2018 has 5500 miles on it and it’s been trouble free aside from a steering damper that went bad early because of out of balance wheels and tires.
