In today's video I am driving the somewhat forgotten first generation Mercedes GL. Specifically, the rare 4L V8 diesel GL450. Now available at around £15,000 - does this car prove my theory nobody needs to spend more than £20k on a car?

This gen GL definitely looks cooler than today's Merc SUV. Too bad it costs a fortune for maintenance.

[@davidthomas2278]

I would hate to know the costs of running this monster. I hear Merc, turbo and air suspension... Then the tears begin to well

[@kyleb5518]

@@davidthomas2278 I've never actually seen a Merc OM642/629 turbos fail infact I have never seen either of those engines fail before without serious neglect by the owners. And the air suspension really isn't bad, all that happened is rubbers perish the pumps are denso or Bosch and can be found cheap, the air struts are £500 each but last 10+ years the main issue are the residual pressure valves typically have o-rings that perish and they collapse after sitting. I wouldn't be worried about buying one at all I got one at an auction with a little over 290,000 on the clock (I'm ex merc technical) went into it becuse of suspension issues and it was £70 worth of valves fixed it even on the original air struts. And they're of a generation that all the electronics are solid state and generally all water proofed. As long as you service it yourself not expensive to run, I'd have this over an early l322 range

[@Anonymouseys]

@@kyleb5518 Great insight. Too many horror stories based on hearsay.

[@MrManBuzz]

@@kyleb5518 Something you need to remind yourself is... You're an ex Mercedes mechanic. You know these cars inside out. It isn't really a fair point to say because you (an expert) can maintain it easily enough, that anyone can do it.

[@CharlesOlcott]

I would argue against the fortune. For the year, it'll come down to how well it was maintained, as well as if there's anything you are able to do for yourself, or if you're stuck with a dealership instead of an indy garage. I have a 2010 GL550 that I purchased with just over 100k, and I'm at 170k now. Other than tires and brake pads, I've got only $2500 total upkeep in the last three years total. That said, the diesel's are notoriously more finnicky, and it does seem to be a crapshoot unless things are gone over very carefully. @MrManBuzz - true that he was an ex Merc mechanic, but the car is relatively easy to work on for anyone that's used to basic wrenching. I replaced the alternator on mine in a couple hours with no prior knowledge of the car. Forums and KZbin make most jobs very straight-forward (for most cars, not just these). The namesake alone is enough to scare people off though, out of fear that it will have to go to a dealer for everything.

[@Foltyn444]

My friend the thing about Mercedes that lots of people don’t realize and don’t mention is the safety witch I bit my life on it.I had a 2010 Benz r350 with 5 passengers in a car then we got hit with 2 18 wheelers semi trucks.to make the story short they had to cut the car to get us Out and when 5 passengers got out not even one had a Scratch on them it was so bad that police officer told me they thought at least one of us was ded and rest badly Injured but no. Thanks for you video!!

[@airborneranger-ret]

2007 GL450. Now 164k.Everyting works, Loads of room in the 3 rows of seats. Replaced front air shocks, repainted left rear fender (clearcoat was coming off) and the occasional light bulb.. Looks great, pleasure to drive, especially in bad weather conditions.. I use liqui-moly in the engine coolant and oil (just me). Highly recommend Michelin tires. Cons. Needs premium, and gets 14-18 mpg. :(

[@ogrodz]

Hello all - owner of the GL450 here! I am enjoying reading all the comments. This is my 49th vehicle (!) and my second GL. It replaces a V6 Amarok, which I owned from new and was a lovely thing. The GL gives me the same towing power (to tow my classic car) but also the flexibility to get 6 adults all up - which as JM suggested I did a number of years ago on a trip down to the South of France and back. It really is a great comfortable motorway cruiser with good towing power if you need it. On the subject of repairs, I like to do my own repairs if possible. I had to replace the air compressor on this car literally a week after I bought it - cost £300. All you need is a bit of confidence and its an easy fix. Admittedly, if you go to a dealer they will stiff you. However, we have a great independent MB specialist near to where I live, who are happy to advise and step in to assist if you need help. I think this is all part of the fun of ownership. Mercedes parts are generally easy to get hold of. The V8 is a great engine

[@drpdrp5690]

You should get this one remapped, amazing engine with a proper tune. Easy 1000nm, would suit this big tank so well.

[@ogrodz]

@@drpdrp5690 have thought about this, but not as easy to find a "tried and trusted" remap for the GL (unlike VW for example). Any suggestions?

[@twilson1973]

2 years ago I bought a 2010 with 97,000. It has the 4.7 V8. It was very clean. The main reason that I bought it was the service history. The Carfax Report showed 2 previous owner who both had it serviced at the dealer. A couple of critical items were replaced such as rear airbags and the A/C compressor. I have put 9,000 miles on it within my 2 years of owning it and so far the GL has been good to me.

[@twilson1973]

[@oldwarrenpointforum]

[@26255242]

One thing this vehicle has that barely gets mentioned (because nobody really ever uses it on the GL) is that it was available with a low range gear and rear locking diff! Meaning this car can go further off-road with some decent AT tires than most of its competitors. Of course a Range Rover or an LX will do even better though...

[@andyscott3099]

Have a 2015 550 no major issues. Oil change is sucked out through dip stick, filter on top of engine, very easy to do. Had to change rear air bags at 90,000. Cost of purchase and fitting 800, and should last for another 50,000. Only other costs were spark plugs, but these are maintenance item for any car. Change oil regularly and these are very reliable.

[@SuperVitz]

EVERYTHING except reliability and fuel economy.

[@martinsvensson6884]

They are reliable compared to most other cars. But you need to maintain them correctly. Something most people dont do. Because they think since they paid the same money as a new corolla it should somehow be as cheap to maintain as a cheap much simpler car.

[@hw534]

I thank God for mine! What a steal! Still gets compliments in 2023 only cost me 12k. Had just under 100k miles when I got it, runs like a champ. I put some love into it. So much leather! Rides like a dream. Great cheap family vehicle. Maintenence is cheaper than a 25k-40k or more vehicle!

[@NigelMarston]

I have a GL350CDI from 2012 with extended off road package. I can raise the suspension to go through deeper floods (a thing in Worcestershire) and it has centre and resr diff lockers which, to be honest, I never even needed to use in deep snow - I run it on winter tyres all year. They're quite effective when towing on wet grass. It is expensive to maintain but I have found a local garage who keeps it running sweet at a reasonable cost now, and I have a runabout car so I don't use Panzer for pointless trips like the school and shopping. Mine passed 130K miles last year but is still going well. I sincerely doubt it is worth anything to sell given the current direction that cars are going, so I'm just going to keep it for as long as I can get parts for it.

[@oldwarrenpointforum]

"any old luxury car or SUV is going to cost a lot of time etc" er... yes. But the Lexus LS430 I would argue is the exception to that rule :)

[@samnicholson9045]

It's amazing the price difference between this and the R-Class. We are on our second R-Class (2012 R350 CDI Long Wheelbase version). We love it because we have 4 growing kids and it has been the only car that could fit us all in, even allowing enough space for adults in the boot seats with comfort. So much better than the MPV alternatives, and whilst not really a luxury car, it feels a lot better than the Galaxy, S-Max and others. Feel free to come up and review ours some time ;)

[@clinteagles9357]

I have a V6 diesel, build quality is iffy, sorted the suspension, changed the wheels to AMG 20". Replaced the head hunit to an Android. Thule bars with a rooftop box. Supreme long road family car. Drive it in between sport and comfort. Change the oil every 10k. 1100km between refills.

[@clinteagles9357]

I own one. Black. Put black 20" AMG wheels on that look like 17"s. Replaced the command system with an Android 10 unit that let's you integrate your smartphone. Agree with the quality bit. Feels less solid than my GS lexus. As a holiday road trip car it is unmatched though. Got a Thule rooftop box and spread the kids about so they don't nag your ear off. It gobbles up the road with its 100 lt diesel tank returning below 10l per 100km.

[@qiqeh]

I've always loved the looks of the GLS but I had a X5 and the whole SUV thing disappeared from my mind. I don't need the extra space so as a luxury cruiser the sedans make much more sense to me. Now I own a 7 series and it's brilliant.

i have a 2011 very similar to what you were driving. you are very limited when you need 7 seats, tow 3.5 ton and need a bit of comfort. Yes they have gremlins but so far it has had to go to a specialist twice, once for keyless entry which i knew about when i bought it the other for a autobox service, and when a specialist charges you cheaper than you can buy the parts for its a no brainer, they really not as bad as most think yes all modern cars can rape your wallet for fun but all in all i think its a good car and suits my needs massively and i am looking at changing it but i am struggling to find a replacement that ticks so many boxes and no dont say look at a disco 4 they need to come with their own mechanic.

[@barron204]

Quick google search with results of 1.5/5 for reliability (repairpal) and 3.8 for ownership experience (Edmunds). The interior must have been designed by the same team who did the Sprinter of the same year as many components look either the same or closely related. I have often admired the GL class but I would question the cost of an old one vs the lease of a new one.

[@Thanos.m]

You could and for my money I would if I had the need for a large SUV I think the interior's better on the disco and the SDV6 is surprisingly frugal my dad had one for a moon and did high 30s mpg on a run

[@MarkVinewood]

@@Thanos.m Same. The interior looks much more "premium", especially with HSE trim, more economical with roughly the same performance and reliabiltiy-wise as well. Even as a Jaguar/Land Rover product I would rather go with this. Simpler and more common engine than the v8 in the Merc.

[@NubletPie278]

It's significantly slower, lose 2 cylinders, more like £20k and the crankshaft will explode at some point. But way cheaper to tax & fuel and I reckon a bit nicer.

[@MarkVinewood]

@@NubletPie278 Actually the performance is not so dissimilar at all. The 0-60 MPH was claimed 7.6 seconds on the GL450 CDI (not to confuse with the petrol GL450) and the Disco was like 8 and change. But that probably misses the point with those cars anyways. In the end it is up to preference I guess. Though I would go with the newer 8-speed ZF over Merc's 7G-tronic. Just not sure I'd trust putting so much money in an old Mercedes having owned a mid-2000s Audi, which in all fairness treated me very well as I tried to treat it.

Yeah but unfortunately I can't get a wheelchair into a saloon car and need the height of an SUV for easy access. But apart from that how else is Mrs Jones going to get Tarquin and Mabel to the school gates?

There's 7 people in my family and my dad really didn't want to move around in a MPV or a vw touran. The GL was the obvious choice to move 7 people around comfortably

[@lxgendary6842]
