Found a ‘13 in calcite white. 20”wheels 68k miles. Black MB-Tex interior. Doesn’t have rear entertainment or wood steering which I would prefer but not a total deal breaker. $25k. Is that good? Not much on maintenance history.

HMMM... $25k for a 13 without the options you like. That sounds a bit high. A 2014 GL with moderate options like mine and 55k miles, full maintenance history, should go for around $29k +-.

I've been considering to trade mine in but still haven't convinced myself yet. Dealers were offering in the $28k range prior to any real negotiation.

I'd look for one that has been serviced by the dealer only if possible. The only work done on mine other than by the dealer was the battery replacement, which is a bit of a PITA to do.

I figured I can ad the tv’s. But they’re pricey. Around me the 350 is rare. I’m in ny. Don’t see many for sale. Most have accidents or high mileage and they’re asking low 30’s for them.

Unless you are going to tow a trailer, you should stay away from the 350. Lots of very expensive issues with the OM642 engine. Do some more research on the issues and get a warranty if you are bound and determined to go this route.

68K is when the OM642s typically require refreshing. My '09 which is FS at 69K just had a complete decarbon of intake, PDF, EGR and swirl motor replacement plus transmission, Xfer case and differential fluid flush. Its all ready to go for next owner.

I am at $16.5K firm with records from new. All other GL320s at this mileage are asking $19-20K. I would look at '14 or newer due to '13 is first year of X166 model year.
