Thoughts on price for a 2016 G550
It has a Carfax minor accident damage report. It's at an Acura dealer near me. I just need it for a train car and tailgate (hopefully next season back to MetLife). And I just fancy a G Wagen.

It looked like new when I went to see it and drove as it should. It is freshly serviced.

Please understand that it would be best if you were able to have a competent shop go thru this G to check for rust... check tailgate and tailgate area - and under the windshield gasket lower edge... best to know up front what you are walking into... could be fine - could be a mess - a 2016 in NJ can go either way..

Looks like a pretty good example given the year and miles. The price seems about right and looks pretty clean.
For the $ and your purpose, would an older model work better as a tailgate truck and a commute/train truck? Of course that depends if you want to go with an overlanding style camping setup for tailgates and if you would be worried about door dings.

I'm having a hard time deciding if a 2011 G55k for 59k with 40k miles is a better deal than the 2016 with 47k miles for 75k. It will be a low use vehicle and really just scratch the itch of wanting a G Wagen.

I'd go with the '16. Much better deal in the long run and some good upgrades over the '11 model. It will also be easier to get out of if your itch get satisfied quickly. I previously owned a '16 and it treated me well.

@zer0t I would reach out to @kirklandg550 and see what kind of deal you can strike. If you want that 2016 near you I'd go offer $70K on it. They probably only gave $63-$65K on trade for it.
