Hello from Colorado

Good day all. New member here. Just acquired a 2011 GL 350 Bluetec from my father. Trying to figure out if this thing is worth keeping or going to be a pain in the back side to keep. It's in decent shape but has some quirks that I need to iron out. Has 145k miles. What are some feelings on this model? Thank you.

I'm in Falcon, east of Colorado Springs. Yeah, I've got a Raptor, a 2012 Cayenne Turbo, a 2000 F250 7.3 diesel and a Subaru of course. Not planning on getting rid of any of them for the Benz. LOL. I think I'll get all the quirks worked out of it and get rid of it.
