Hello,
Well I've gone from owning many Audi's and VW over the years, my last car was a Audi A8 4.2 tdi, but we tow a Caravan and wanted to sit higher up.
There isn't that many ML's AND GL's out there compared to other manufacture's.
We do not need 7 seats, but a vehicle weighing 2 ton at least.
All high spec merc's seem to be 2 or 3 grand above everything else, then the budget I had set a top price of 20 grand, So much newer ml even a very nice Designo, but also liked the GL, So found couple of nice spec ones, Didn't look at any because had to finish off bathroom first.
Then looked at reviews of one garage up north and that put me off.
Private one not on auto trader.
After that I decided that changing the caravan was next on the list, So car price had to come down.
After all that we've bought a 57plate GL 420cdi from Suffolk, It has a rear air bag leak and the boot doesn't want to open with the key.
Will take it to Mercland when allowed out.
The ride is not right its too bouncy, and fitting towing mirrors is not easy.
But I like it and it has plenty of power.
Hope it didn't bore you to much, we've all got plenty of time on our hands.
Thanks
David
