Price of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 For $80,000 I expect more from a vehicle.
2010 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 $1100 per month. Lots of other cars that are almost as nice and much cheaper.
2008 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 With options, it can get pricey.
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The price on this car is a tough pill to swallow for working class people. If it were not for a great trade-in, I probably could not justify the price.
