2011 GL350 Keep or sell it?
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)?

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.

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...
