2014 G55 purchase questions

Hi everyone
I’m looking at a 2014 G55, 85k miles

My 93’s and 2002 have required a lot of work.
The 2002 has had a lot of annoying problems.
Window switches, regulators, seat electronics that will only go forward,
AC flaps that broke, etc. just cheaply made.

I need honest feedback on the 2014 G55. Is this a good year, reliable, etc?

Thanks in advance. My wife thinks I’m crazy to want another G, that I’m going to have to work on all the time.

Merry Christmas

Re: 2014 G55 purchase questions

I think the 2014 and 2015 G550 are great buys. The last versions without the start stop function which I would not like. The 2014/15 G63 has it already. Also, I prefer the naturally aspirated motor for multi 100K mechanical longevity.

The hitch was added back in 2013.

Re: 2014 G55 purchase questions

I bought a 2014 G55, one owner. 84k miles. Have to ship it from CA, very clean and always serviced at the MB dealer. I tried to buy from the owner, but he traded it. I found the dealer but they auctioned it. I found the auction house and they would not give me info. Google of the vin each day found who bought it. I then bought it from them.

My current 2002 G500 I’ve had for 10 years and I’ve put 105 k miles on it.Total Miles 234k. I hope this 2014 lasts as long.

Thanks everyone

Re: 2014 G55 purchase questions

Congrats on the purchase! I thought they had started the G63 model by then. They are all really great vehicles and I'm sure it will serve you well for many years and many miles.
