Buying a used 16/17 GLE350, need some advice
Hi all, I am going to buy a 16/17 gle350 with 3.5V6 engine and 60k less mileage with regular oil change. Is it still wise to buy this car in 2024 as it has been produced over 7 years old and normally over 50k mileage. Not sure about the reliability in the real world. Thanks for any advice and experience!

Thanks for reply! Yeah, I am only checking some cars with good maintenance record and less than 60k mileage. The car itself drives fine to me, but hope to know whether there will be any general problems after certain mileage or years.

Although we paid on the high end, it really seems to be great value!

Keep up on all specified maintenance and it will serve you well.
Check for cam sensor and cam magnet leaks. Well documented on this site.

I have a 2017 with 80k. I do all maintenance at the dealer…so it’s pricey…but the car runs perfect. It’s the best MB I’ve owned. No leaking rear engine seal either. This is #3. Maintain it and it will serve you well.

W212 (specifically 2014-16 E350)
W166 (specifically 2016-18 GLE350)
In fact, I'm currently in the market for one of these models as a 3rd vehicle, since my teen is beginning to drive.
Happy Motoring!
