I am about to get a Mercedes Benz GL450, 2008 Model. Is there anyone that has experience about this ride here in terms of reliability, ruggedity, maintenance cost and possibly resale value? |

Yababoy: Reliability - check Ruggedity - check Maintenance cost - high but worth it Resale value - Relatively weak/low. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kufie:Thanks for your reply. I deeply appreciate it...Just a further question on the resale value, do you have any idea why it is weak. Thanks again. |

Yababoy: Love this topic. I'm doing one for myself too but so surprised why there are many naija used in the market. So I went to YouTube to find out more about it. Saw a woman lamenting about buying it, swore never to drive a Benz again because of it. But she also advised that the 2007-2008 were just the problematic ones, others are better. I like the car myself but presently in limbo about still going for it as the 2009 and above are beyond my budget. Also the car remains expensive. |

essegis:We are definitely in the same state. I guess there are people that are willing to share their first hand experience of the ride here. @ Kufie: Another additional question, I am getting it for the Mrs and she drives about 30km to work and for school runs daily. Do you think its an ideal ride for this. I know there are other options, but we both are in love with the ride and would like to know more before we commit to getting one. |

Yababoy: I can't say exactly but if I had to point out some factors, it'll be the engine. You know how the average Nigerian is afraid of anything above 4 cylinder (because e dey drink fuel). Another reason is maintenance cost. People want to pay less to keep their cars running not minding if they're paying this "less" more often than people who pay more. Now about using it as a daily driver, it's great in my opinion being that it's a spacious and comfortable ride Still a bliss for the long road trips. Try to go for models higher than the first issue (2007-2008). It's advisable to do so for cars that are newly introduced as possible errors/faults are likely to be corrected in later models. 1 Like |
