Looking for your opinion on G55 purchase
Hi everyone -
After driving my friend's G55 over the years, I decided to buy my own. I think I found the right one but I am a little concerned with some of the carfax notifications.

- Engine/powertrain computer/module checked (3 times since delivery).
- Engine checked (2 times since delivery).
- Body electrical system checked (2 times since delivery).
What do you guys think? I'd appreciate your input. Thank you.

Assume this is the car since the VIN matches.
Seems like a good vehicle and not a bad start price although I would think there would be a little room. New G63s are at $135 so that is a fair bit of depreciation. Dealer just offered my 78k on my 2010 G55.
These cars are decent daily drivers but they are finicky and I pretty much count / budget 2-3 days a year of down time. And am thinking of buying the extended warranty for 5k for 3 years. Those service marks on the 2011 are no big deal from my point of view.
Good luck.

No problem. MBW killed the link to the car that I found but it looked good to me. FWIW I've decided to not purchase the warranty. 5k goes a long way towards fixes and I'm not expecting much to go wrong. Plus there is a nice independent shop here in the bay area I found that deals almost exclusively with G wagens.
