2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Drivers generally appreciate the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class for its powerful performance, spacious and comfortable interior, and handling capabilities. Many love the luxurious feel and safety features, making it a great family SUV. However, some have experienced issues like malfunctioning screens and physical wear and tear over time, which can detract from the overall experience."
I've met very few Benz 450 or 550 that I didn't like. Most folks who buy these cars are really good "car" people. They maintain the car as it is meant to be. These older Benz have probably the best v-8 ever made. The materials last because they are top of the line. I'm a retired GM exec. And Cadillac can't touch this car for long term durability. The car in the picture is in great shape. Most of these are. One thing to check before you buy is the drivers seat. If it is trashed walk away. You have to work at destroying one of these cars. Best pre-owned car to buy!!

April 23, 2014Had our 2009 model for 9 years, never broke down powerful yet quite engine, fun and smooth to drive, super comfortable and plush seats, only maintenance is required we haven’t had any mechanical issues or anything like that,
September 29, 2022It was a nice looking car but had a few problems with screen not working for the GPS, radio, and back of camera. Also had a lot scratches and rusted rooters. They need to focus on the major issues to the car than instead of just making look clean and shiny on the outside.
