    My 2017 MB GLE 350 3.

    My 2017 MB GLE 350 3.5L V6 4MATIC engine failed on 22k Miles only – it makes ticking noises and some metal debris were found on oil filter, and the local dealer suggested to replace the engine – in the case the car has been driven normally and oil changes were done on the normal schedules. Since it has passed Mfr warranty we have to pay big money to solve the vital issue, which means we have a big loss on this investment. So the comment is: the car isn’t a reliable one and isn’t a valuable long-time investment for sure. Trying to switch to a more reliable Japanese Brands (e.g. Lexus) soon for a long-term satisfaction and money worth.

    Don't Hesitate To Own One

    I purchased a 2017 GLE 350 with 27,000 miles on it the SUV is a dream come true, you can't get a more quiet or smoother ride in an SUV. Has every option in the you can get even self parking. Love the color combination white exterior and cashmere interior, I have the original window sticker and sales receipt the car sold out the door includes tax and discounts dealer prep for $64,000.00

    Great suv

    This is my 3rd Benz. It is my favorite of them all. 1st was an e-class sedan, very nice, 2nd was e-class convertible, now the suv. I am a big guy 6-2, 280 and I have plenty of room. I have have not had one problem at all. It is very roomy, even for me. It has very good power, especially for the size and weight..over 4600 lbs. That also makes me feel very safe. And when I go on the Highway from DC to NY I always get over 23 mpg!!

    Comfortable ride.

    Purchased this vehicle used CPO on a whim the day before a 3500 mile road trip across 7 states. All it took was a 10 minute test drive to sell me on the comfort. The styling is good inside and out and the power is good but the handling is pure SUV.
