The title says everything...

Have 2011 GL350 with 88000 miles since purchased brand new and the engine was replaced at 75K miles, turbo, intake manifolds and all air suspensions.
Had this dilemma since the engine was replaced and the CEL came on for a day and disappeared while I was visiting Toronto, Canada last weekend and dealer said it probably self corrected... blah blah... but I'm taking it to dealer to check it.

currently new set of tires which will cost about $1200. So should I keep it or sell it? with new brand new engine (now it have over 13K), will I get more out of it or the same value as other GLs with similar mileages (88k)?

Your engine should be under warranty. Get it fixed and understand what the issue is

taeandji

yes it is under warranty until 2018/01 or 100K and it is in the shop now to figure it out the CEL but getting worried after the warranty.

Lol. Your ahead of most. I'd enjoy it and go over well before warranty goes out maybe have an independent check it

You may be one of those with driving patterns that is not comparable with the diesel. How do you use the GL? Frequent short trips with long periods between restarts or?

Don't expect to get much out of it. I was shocked when I sold mine last week at just how little a $78,000 car brand new is now only worth about $15,000 just 6 years later. I also have a 2011 Toyota Sequoia with about the same miles on it. Brand new it was $58,000 and is still worth $28,000 today.

Trade in is 17500.

I think the way you wrote your post contains the answer. You did not state a single time that you like/ love the truck. Most folks that come here with such a dilemma say “I love this truck but...”... you on the other hand you just sound disappointed in the vehicle. I don’t keep any vehicle that I am disappointed in.

When I was in oversea between 2014 and 2016, my commute was only about 1.5 miles each way with a lot of traffic lights and traffic in rush hours and I drove about 100-150 miles on highway during weekend.
now i'm back in the states with new motor, my commute is about 15 miles each direction and 90% of it on highway and 10% with some stop and go.

i know it have depreciated a lot and it make sense to keep it but many recent CEL and problem with Airmatic concerns me though

taeandji

don't get me wrong, i do love driving it but just concerns with many recent trips to service center... still not 100% satisfied with recent suspension fixes as the rear of vehicle still seems lower than front... had to keep arguing with dealer... I hoped new engine would increase the resale value but i guess it didn't...

Consider taking the vehicle to a location where they aren't trying to sell you a new car. That would be a significant step in the right direction.
