It is time to upgrade to a GL and part with our beloved 06 R350. I feel so sad the car has been perfect, none of the problems other owners have been experiencing. It is for the wife and she is insisting on a GL (her friend just got one and she has to have it too).
need advice on where to post the R350 for sale, I have done Craigslist, but I am sure there are better sites to market it. Please let me know.

Get the diesel!

R KLASSE

Am I the only one who doesn't think the GL is an upgrade? Both cars can be had with similar if not the same options. Not sure if a panoramic roof is available on the GL or not. And we all know you can't get a V8 anymore in a R.

Anyway good luck with the sale of your R, I'm glad I don't have a wife that has to have a vehicle because her friends got one too. Lol I would be in the poor house fast at that rate.

I felt the same way when I read that.
To me, its not an upgrade at all. Its a completely different animal.
If I wanted a GL, I would have bought one. I liked the R because of its massive cargo/passenger capacity, its 4matic drive train, the fact that it was available as a diesel, combined with the fact that it handles better and is a lot more fun to drive than an SUV.

Keep the R and buy her some diamonds. It will still be much cheaper for you and she will appreciate it even more!!!

Pricing is soft on these. Be prepared to take much less than your advertised price. I just sold my 2006 R500 (Saks Edition), so I'm speaking from recent experience...

Ditto on the upgrade thought. GL appearance is more soccer mom-ish, but R kicks butt on interior space/comfort. I don't care what the MB specs have on the brochure - the R-class has way more leg room in both 2nd AND 3rd row than the GL.
