A gaggle of MB's
Mercedes dealers are required to do due diligence on all new Mercedes vehicle sales to reduce the # of Mercedes purcahsed new in the US then re-exported straight away to foreign markets.
The GL350 is one of the key ultra-high-alert vehicles - and as a matter of fact all GL's are on high-alert.
A Mercedes dealer cannot knowingly sell any Mercedes for re-export until AFTER is has legitimately been in service in the US for 1 year.
Private parties and independent dealers who come into a 2013 GL350 have no such restriction - and on ultra-low mileage GL63 some dealers will demand/and get upcharge from MSRP as new.
At this moment there are (3) pre-owned GL350's in the US - one is a low mileage Mercedes demo - and two are in the hands of a non-MB car dealer who specializes in export and who will be asking a pretty penny over list...
Keep the beat !

2013 GL350
Was offered a demo GL450 with 8K miles for only $2000 under MSRP. Honestly, I always buy pre-owned but gave up after my wife decided on the 2013 GL350. We found a 2010 with 50K miles on it, but there was no comparison to the 2013. Ordered a 2013 GL350 for her this weekend, arrives in May.
Some dealers are charging more than MSRP for slightly used 2013 GL. I would give up on your quest for at least 6 months or bite the bullet and order new.

I'd love to buy a 13 for under 60K ... especially if it's black or white ... send it to an auto auction and watch the exporters go crazy for the car (even more if it has a pano) .. bluetecs still go for 70's at the auctions ...

-First, as soon as the deal went through they started threatening me that things will break on my car and I can only get the extended warranty now.
-Second, they told me they would put the chrome package on but they forgot the chrome handle inserts; only did the hood fins.
-Third, on the phone they told me prepaid maintenance would be half off. At the deal they wanted full price.
-Lastly, I told them they only got my business because they had a vehicle in stock. I said I was getting a better build for $4000 less at another dealer. Well they had the nerve to say their deal was still better!
Unreal. BEWARE THE SEATTLE DEALERSHIP!!!

Here in the US - frankly autotrader.com will have about everything listed in the US - if from a MB dealer if "in service" for over 1 yr then allowed for export:

I'd recommend a new GL350 rather than CPO. I bought a 29,000mi lease-return CPO and regretted it since. Previous owner neglected the engine bought questionable fuel and now I have replaced the entire fuel system @ $12,000.
