2012 GL350
New to me: CPO 2012 GL350

I recently picked up a CPO 2012 GL350 to replace a total loss Acura MDX. It was a personal lease vehicle w/ prepaind maintenance prior to my purchase. It also had minimal warranty work done to it.

Exterior color: Obsidian Black
Interior color: Cashmere
Options:
• Premium 2 Package (P02)
• Parktronic
• Blind Spot Assist
• Wood/Leather Steering Wheel
• 319 Lighting Package
• Trailer Hitch
• 3-Zone Climate Control
• Running Boards
• Rear Seat Entertainment

So far we are very happy with it, other than the lack of detailing from the dealer. I wasn't impressed with the exterior of the vehicle, so I had the car clayed, buffed, polished and waxed upon its arrival to Chicago. The detail shop seemed stunned that I received a CPO Mercedes with the exterior in the shape it was.

Since taking delivery we have added the chrome door handle inserts, MB Foldable Cargo Liner and 3D MAXpider Kagu Floor liners (all 3 rows). I have also purchased a set of MB 18" wheels off of a 2009 GL450 for winter shoes.

I'm looking forward to learning more about the vehicle through this forum!

Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the new to you GL! She should be a fair upgrade to your old MDX.

Let us know if we can help you out with any upgraded whiter lights

Thank you. I've actually debated replacing all the interior lights with LEDs. Never really noticed how much better it was until we got the MDX. Do you happen to know what a package would cost to replace all the interior lights with LED?

Thank you. Your site is easy to navigate. Right now the only items I am looking for are TPMS for my Winter set-up. I need to rip the tires off the 18" set I recently purchased to see if there are any in there.
