2008 Mercedes-Benz GL350 CDI - Black - 285,759km - 3.0L Turbo Diesel, 7-Seat Luxury SUV
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class represents the pinnacle of three-row luxury SUV engineering, and this 2008 GL350 CDI exemplifies the breed. Built during the first generation (X164) when Mercedes was establishing the segment, the GL350 CDI combines the efficiency and torque of a 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine with the refinement and space expected of the three-pointed star. The CDI badge denotes Common Rail Direct Injection technology, delivering responsive performance and genuine fuel economy for a vehicle of this size and capability. At 285,759 kilometres, this is a well-used example that speaks to the durability and longevity Mercedes-Benz diesel engines are renowned for. The seven-seat configuration makes this a genuine family hauler, with the flexibility to accommodate passengers or cargo as required.
This particular GL350 presents in black, a colour that emphasises the vehicle's substantial presence and commanding road stance. The exterior shows the patina consistent with its age and mileage, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and light kerb rash on the front passenger alloy wheel. The paint holds reasonable depth across the visible panels, and the body lines remain straight with no evidence of major impact or structural repair. The interior, photographed with the ignition on for odometer verification, displays the expected wear of a well-used family vehicle. The driver seat bolster shows minor wear from regular use, and the dashboard presents with the typical fading consistent with age and sun exposure. The leather upholstery, whilst showing its years, remains substantially intact. Climate control, cruise control, and the multi-function steering wheel are all present and functional. The seven-seat configuration is intact, with the third row accessible and usable for occasional passengers or cargo management.
At the 2008 model year, the GL350 CDI was positioned as the efficiency choice within the GL-Class lineup, offering genuine diesel economy without sacrificing the luxury appointments and driving refinement expected of Mercedes-Benz. The 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-6 diesel engine produces substantial torque, making this a capable tow vehicle and genuine family transporter. The seven-speed automatic transmission, paired with the responsive diesel engine, delivers smooth power delivery and highway cruising capability. For buyers seeking a spacious, three-row luxury SUV with proven diesel reliability and the prestige of the Mercedes-Benz badge, this GL350 CDI represents genuine value in the current market. Service records are present, and the vehicle is sold with owner's manual and logbook documentation.
