Needs A Clean Mercedes Gl450 or Ml350 2010 To 2013 / The "Craze" For Benz Is Gradually Fading, Lexus Is Taking Over / Why The Sudden Madness For Benz Cars? (2) (3) (4)
Question for Benz Enthusiasts: Which is better, a Toks 2013 Benz GL450 or ML350? by gr8child(m): 11:26am On Jan 24, 2022 |
Hello Nairalanders. I would like some advice from the Benz enthusiasts on this platform. I want to change my car and my budget is in the price range for a Tokunbo 2013 Benz GL450 or ML350. I'd like some advice on which is the better car. Most people I asked said the GL is problematic, although they couldn't say exactly why. They also said that the GL does not have as good a resale value as the ML. My mechanic who also specialises in Benz repairs says that the GL has a poor reputation in Nigeria because it uses an air suspension which used to be extremely expensive to replace, though the price has now come down substantially. He says that apart from the air suspension issue which is no longer a big problem, he is not aware of any major issue with the 2013 GL. I would prefer the bigger GL because it has more room and better ground clearance but I don't want a car that will give me plenty problems. I would appreciate your advice.

Follow your mind. Actually, any advice towards getting the GL is what ur body and soul is waiting for and anything otherwise, u will find reason to counter it or request for more information. Bottom line. Go for the GL. Maintain and care for it. That’s your heart desire. If u get the ML, ur mind will always skip whenever you see GL passing or see a post about it on this forum. Maybe I’m not making sense but I said my opinion 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: I hear you, but with the prices of cars these days, one has to research well before buying. The 2013 GL has low reliability scores online and I just wanted to hear the firsthand experience of people who have used them n Nigeria. I can't find that info anywhere. |

gr8child:Hello, did you later got the Gl450? If yes, how has the experience been so far? Planning on buying a 2014 model with V8 engine |

I didn't go for the GL450 anymore, I got the ML350. Less stress on fuel consumption and cost of replacing air suspensions. Benz V8s drink fuel like crazy, which is something to think about with the the current prices of fuel. I haven't had any major issues with the ML so far apart from the fact that the parts cost much more than Japanese cars. That's normal for Benzs and BMWs. Just to change the steering switch controls recently cost me about N35k for the part alone. Apart from that the ML is a strong car and I've enjoyed owning it. It goes without saying that you should always go with a competent mechanic who is experienced with handling Benz repairs when going to inspect the car before buying. Cheers. anyibig: |
