2008 GL550
I found a 2008 GL550 for a really good price. The CARFAX report shows that there were significant maintenance done at MB dealership, but I'm curious if it's because of repeated issues, which could be a sign of a lemon, or just the owner took care of everything that went wrong with the car. Check out the CARFAX report and let me know if the items fixed or parts replaced are typical parts that fail on the GL550s. It has 101K miles currently.

Looks like it was impeccably maintained and probably over maintained. Most of the repairs are common issues. Transmission removed for repair is questionable.

Isn't it also strange that the front struts were changed 3 times, but not rears? I think the transmission was removed to repair torque converter. If the transmission was replaced, that would be a plus.

Maybe it was entered wrong & one of the events was for rear struts. Anyhow, I can still purchase warranty just in case.
