Thanks,

OK I'll bite, Say Marcus I really don't have an inside sales guy at FJ, but I am a curious person. What might you be interested in now? V12 S class?

I'll bite also... and way OT (sorry if you feel a hijack is in progress )....

How do you like your GL320? I'm seriously thinking of getting one.

There is one at LM Chicago O'Hare.... very low mileage, and the price is good. But if you see the carfax, only 2000 miles in the last couple months... and last carfax info shows suspension & shock absorber got replaced... could it be a half-lemon - related to suspension? What do you think?

When you know the right people, salesmen can be great.

Yacht,

It's really curiosity at this point, but I will make sure to post anything if it gets serious.

I didn't mean to arouse so much attention, I just don't really know anyone at FJ so I figured a post would get some results.

I love the GL320 for what it is - solid truck that rides fantastically. Endures the 4 seasons with ease, and amazing fuel economy for such a large vehicle. It has exceeded expectations. It's obviously not the most exciting truck in the world to drive, but make no mistake - Mercedes hit a home run with it.
