Hi All,
My name is Robert and I have just recently purchased a 2015 Gl350 Bluetec. I previously owned a 2007 GMC Envoy which I bought new but with grand children all around it just didn't cut it anymore, you should try squeezing between two car seats to do day trips to keep the little devils busy. I needed a third row. I found this relatively low mileage (110,000 kms) Mercedes Gl350. This vehicle suits my needs very well because it can also tow my Travel Trailer and my oldest grandson loves the third row. So that's it in a condensed version of the whole process. I did about $1300 repair to the Envoy ( all new Bilstein shocks and all new front suspension parts) and gave it to my oldest son because the car seat for the newest grandchild wouldn't fit in their little cars. the new child seats are huge compared to what my kids used.
Robert
