2012 Water in the cabin how much will cost to repair?
I am looking into buying a GL450 2012 with water damage, the owner said "It needs most of modules under the seats I can't give a list but mostly water was under the eats my mechanic said it will cost between 5 to 10 grand to fix" anyone can confirm if this will be true?
Thank you!

If you are serious about the car, take it to a Mercedes dealer, get a quote from them, in writing on the 'out the door' cost to fix all the real and potential issues. Make sure the dealer's quote includes a guarantee/warranty for say, 50,000 miles on all the work.
Deduct that amount from the max you are willing to pay and offer the seller the resulting net amount. The seller will likely owe YOU money!
None of us are likely to be able to tell you ALL of the modules and wires and connectors that must be replaced and the labor for doing that. Plus the hook ups to the Star computer necessary to turn all those modules on and get them working.
