2008 G55
Buying advice and Opinion needed

I am new here, and need some help/advice.

I have long since debated between G55 and G500. I decided with a G55.
I have narrowed my year of choice of 2005-2008. Mainly because of my budget.
I am looking to purchase one mainly as a weekend car, and because they are timeless machines.

My question, What are your thoughts in a 2008 with 160k Miles. Service regularly. Will it be reliable?

any common issues with high mileage G55?

These trucks are made to last forever if maintained correctly. Also parts are getting cheaper to fix if anything goes wrong. As long as the truck hasn't been abused 160k wouldnt be a worrying factor.

I'd be concerned with rust.

Be sure to inspect thoroughly for paint bubbles.

Will bump this old thread hopping to hear some more imput from G 55 owners. I started to read about the car, as I dream with adding one to my garage, and would like to know what to look for before buying.
