The Mercedes GL500 is the full-size, three-row SUV Mercedes sold before renaming the line GLS, running a 4.7-litre twin-turbo V8 built for long highway distances in the Kingdom.
How much does a used Mercedes GL500 cost in Saudi Arabia?
SAR 51500 for an older, higher-mileage car up to SAR 63000 for a tidier one is roughly the current range for this discontinued nameplate, and condition matters more than year at this stage of the car's life.
Which used Mercedes GL500 year should you buy?
Mercedes sold this shape through 2015 before renaming the whole line GLS for the following generation, so every GL500 you find is from that earlier run — buy the newest one your budget allows and prioritise service history over chasing a specific model year.
Is a used Mercedes GL500 reliable?
Mixed, and worth reading carefully. Prior body or panel repair shows up on 41% of the ones we inspect, actually better than the 58% we would expect for full-size SUVs of this age and mileage in the Kingdom — this is a car bought to be driven hard and that history is normal, not disqualifying. Mechanical faults are the bigger concern, at 41% against the 25% we would expect for full-size SUVs of this age and mileage in the Kingdom, so the drivetrain deserves closer attention than the bodywork.
Mercedes GL500 or Nissan Patrol?
The Nissan Patrol is far dearer but shows less prior body or panel repair — 30% against 46% expected for full-size SUVs of this age and mileage in the Kingdom. The Toyota Land Cruiser is far dearer still and the benchmark for this class if long-term reliability matters more than badge or V8 sound.
