Hi all - new to forum and seriously considering buying an '08 GL450.

A couple of questions for any GL owners:

-Is it worth the extra $1k for the 19" wheel upgrade? Any noticeable difference between the stock 18" wheels?

-I've heard horror stories about the navigation system in MB vehicles. I mostly drive locally so probably not a major sticking point, but are these complaints warranted? (I have read numerous stories about people buying TomToms to stick on their MB windsheilds)

-Do you think the GL450 is available enough where I should be able to get some discounts from the dealer on MSRP? Any ideas where I could shop for a new or lightly used GL online?

-Any other insight GL450 owners could share would be appreciated about what they like or dislike.

Thank

 

i like the look of the 19 s better....

i was qouted approx 950/month 36month lease, with usual inception fees....on vehicle with 65k sticker. gl320cdi

i mnot sure thou what the differance is between sticker and dealer invoice and if there s hold back like most american cars.
