Vehicle Overview

2008 Mercedes-Benz GLS GL500.

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL500 combines the imposing presence of a full-size luxury SUV with the practical strengths of three-row seating and all-wheel drive. Its 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine is paired with an automatic transmission, while the seven-seat cabin gives the GL500 the flexibility to carry passengers across all three rows. As a five-door SUV, it is configured for everyday usability rather than occasional utility alone.

The cabin specification reflects the GL500’s upmarket positioning. Leather seats, heated front seating and memory adjustment provide a more accommodating environment for longer drives, while the sunroof adds a sense of openness to the interior. Navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, a sound system and a USB port support both older integrated technology and more familiar modern-device use. A reversing camera and blind-spot alert add useful assistance when manoeuvring a sizeable vehicle.

Its AWD/4WD system gives the vehicle a broad operating remit, and traction control is included among the listed equipment. The combination of a substantial body, three rows and all-wheel drive makes this a notably versatile configuration for transporting people and equipment. The listing also identifies LED headlights and side airbags as part of the equipment package.

Visually, this GL500 is finished in black and has been given a more individual appearance through a Panamericana grille, AMG badging and a custom exhaust. The exhaust and exterior alterations are intended to give the SUV a more assertive character, while optional AMG street rims are also noted. New Yokohama all-terrain tyres are fitted, adding a practical element to the exterior presentation.

The vehicle is listed with 198,000 kilometres and is described as having four owners, with its history documented through the supplied books and more than $25,000 in maintenance receipts. Those records and receipts are relevant considerations for a vehicle of this age and mileage, providing background on the maintenance work represented by the listing. The GL500 is presented as a used example with a 5.5-litre V8, automatic transmission, petrol power and AWD/4WD running gear.
