Seduced by the silky smooth and lusty nature of the Mercedes 4 litre v8 diesel, I have succumbed to peer (aka Wife) pressure and put a deposit on a used GL420CDI today.
It's a single owner FMBSH car with just over 100,000 miles on the clock and has (from the look of the invoices with the car), been fastidiously maintained regardless of cost and this was apparent from my test drive prior to taking the plunge.
It's always bee serviced by the same dealership and whilst I viewed it in Leicester, it will be returning to Surrey where it has lived all its life. The 211 is staying, however the R-Class will be on its way when our 'new' car arrives - I have really enjoyed our short time with the R (7 months) and really hope this time the Wife will not want to change cars again so quickly given the R now wants for nothing...
