Most eye catching luxury car

I get more compliments on my car than anything else . The valets always park it out front . It’s powerful engine makes sure everyone knows you are coming . It’s beautiful inside and out . It’s designed for upkeep , you can’t let the car go without maintenance.

Mercedes Benz of FIfe- Gold Plated 5 Stars!

Was shopping for a pre-owned G550 "Pedigree".... local owner(s) dealer serviced and well cared for. I would check the local Mercedes Benz Dealers inventory daily but the nice ones, always sold immediately. Mercedes-Benz of Fife took one in on trade, a 2012 G550 Black w/Designo. Paid asking price...they completely serviced,detailed and delivered it off the Showroom Floor! What a class act! KUDOS to Cathy Hodges our Sales Associate and Brandon Kindle GM!

A truck for any situation

Love my G-wagen. Extremely reliable, gas mileage in the real world isn't as bad as reported. Can absolutely go anywhere. Nice and nimble, fits in normal parking spaces that challenge Ford pickup and Chevy SUV owners. A hand built in Austria military vehicle!!

Good Car

Given the age of the design I guess the G is a good car. Overpriced yes, but nothing beats that growl. The interior is dated and could do with 2012 touches.

Great deal

I have had the chance to drive this vehicle and it is a outstanding ride. It is a great SUV to own. I would recommend that if you have the chance too own one. This is in a league all its own.

G550 Owner

The Mercedes G series has been on the market since 1979 and from the exterior it has not changed much. These vehicles are hand made in Graz Austria and you can tell from the quality of the interior. The attention to detail is astounding, better than any Range Rover I have ever been in. The handling is typical of a vehicle with this kind of height but I think putting it in the Cons category is unfair, I conquered the twisty mountain roads of Colorado with no drama. Owning a car like this is an experience, it is by no means a family car. There is no power lift gate, the rear seats are so high you need a step stool to get in, the front seats are narrow and not very supportive, the doors are so heavy that no 10 year old could ever open or close them, the actual vehicle height restricts what parking structures you can get into, and the ride is comfortable but by no means in the same league as a Range Rover. With all that said you might be wondering why I rated this car with 5 stars for value or why I even bought it in the first place. The answer is simple, I love it, and I appreciate every stitch that someones hand put in the leather. I appreciate its uniqueness and quirks and for that; for me it's worth every penny.
