MY07 GL450; on order-MY14 GL550&E550
Talking New member!

Hi all!

About two weeks away from delivery of my 2014 GL550 in lunar blue with designo black interior and really getting excited!

Just wanted to check in as I've been a lurker for a bit!

We love our 450. It's got 110k miles and as a first gen x164 it's been amazing, but the build and features of the 166 are vastly improved. We are going to trade it and our dealer has given us a great price!

Chose the 550 because we wanted options that made a 450 build only a couple grand less than a 550 with the same equipment! Probably got a bit carried away but hey, we know what we love about it and what we wished we had in our old one!

Outstanding! Hope you enjoy it.... This will be a long two weeks!

I'm two weeks into my GL550 (2011) w/ only 7k miles. LOVING IT! Its a real head turner and the power is amazing (passes everything BUT a gas station)...

Awesome to hear you had a great experience w/ 07' too! I'm confident I made a good decision.

Post pictures when you get the beauty in your driveway :-)

2014 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG
Congratulations! I actually have a GL63 AMG on order delivery is in about 1 month and half or so. I currently have a 2008 GL550 which will be going once the GL63 comes in.

We will definitely post pictures of our new ride!

Test drove a GL63 and thought it was amazing...and that I'd probably get to know jonny law on a first name basis if we got that AMG beast!. Enjoy that speed machine!

So far nothing but great things to say about our dealership experience, hopefully it stays that way!
