1. Price appears to be in the ball park. Is it MB certified used? If not, I would hold out for one that is certified.

2. Didn't even think the MDX is the same league as the GL450.

Hi BlownV8,

It is not certified by the dealer, it is listed as a manufacturer vehicle
sold at auction.

Thanks

One is a luxo heavy suv truck, the other is a car- based Honda trucklette. There are universes apart and should not be cross shopped..
