Not overpriced in my opinion, just priced so both parties negotiate it down to ~70-75K$ (which is its right price). White exterior color is a plus.

With 56,000 miles, you def have a chance to bring the price down to 70-75K.

Whomever pulls the trigger I would absolutely negotiate a CPO or other MBUSA approved warranty into the deal.

CPO would prolly be best. Seems like some of the other warranty providers sometimes use "used parts" for big jobs, e.g. transmission etc.



I agree with the
White exterior color is a plus.


thinking about wrapping my black on with white vinyl, but not sure if that is worth. Interested doing something new to mine. Maybe I need to look for a 2010 white G55k

EDIT: Just re-read the ad - I think it's too expensive if it comes without CPO. If it is well maintained the truck might be perfect for a 100k, but if diffs were abused ( or never used!!!Problem!!! )etc. you could get stuck with nasty repair bills. Check if they know the history of the car, or if they bought it from an auction...

It's possible MBUSA may not CPO a vehicle with this mileage. If approved the cost of the CPO can be negotiated into the selling price of the vehicle. With other MBUSA approved warranty providers the service work is performed by an authorized MB dealer utilizing new parts. And sure it's possible it won't need anything for 100K mi. however, who wants to roll the dice?

I sold mine (2008) for I think 70K to Encino Mercedes (low miles) Correct me if I am wrong but under 50,0000 they can certify the vehicle?

When I went to my dealer I got 2 options for extended insurance, MBUSA and Fidelity. I saw in another thread here on mbworld that appearantly Fidelity can and may use "used" parts for repairs. Dunno.

sounds great.. My buddy just picked up last night a white G55 with black interior and I gave him my 22'CEC wheels.. He's powder coating all the chrome guards flat black and wheels are done in flat black.

GAS is doing all the work. Best company around in my opinion.

If the work is performed by an authorized dealer the actual service and or parts are guaranteed and under warranty for an expressed period of time. In other words, if the service performed or parts used are faulty the dealer is obligaed to correct them at no additional charge within the expressed time.
