This 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL450 4MATIC was sold new by Sovereign Motors in Brooklyn, New York in July 2010 and has remained registered in New York through two owners. Finished in Arctic White (650) over Cashmere MB-Tex (154), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Equipment includes AIRMATIC suspension, a power glass sunroof, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, COMAND navigation, a rearview camera, Parktronic, a power liftgate, and a power-folding third row. The seller acquired the GL in 2022 and has added approximately 26k of the 58,286 miles shown. Service within the last year included an oil and filter change and replacement of the battery, filters, ignition coils, and spark plugs. This GL450 is now offered in New Hyde Park, New York with two keys, books, service records from new, factory mats, WeatherTech floor liners, tools, a first-aid kit, a cargo cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Arctic White (650) and features chrome trim, roof rails, running boards, rear privacy glass, and a trailer hitch. Additional equipment includes a power glass sunroof, power-folding mirrors with integrated turn signals, front and rear parking sensors, and a power-operated liftgate. LED bulbs have been installed in the original headlight housings. The seller reports the vehicle has been garaged and notes minor age-related cosmetic imperfections with no rust reported. Detailed exterior photographs are provided in the gallery.
Factory 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels wear Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires measuring 275/55 and carrying 2022 and 2023 date codes. Blue Mercedes-Benz center caps were recently installed. The seller recommends replacing the tires in the near future due to remaining tread depth. The GL features height-adjustable AIRMATIC suspension, which reportedly raises and lowers properly without sagging. The Carfax documents strut replacement in August 2023 and brake-booster replacement or repair in February 2024. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with ABS.
The cabin is trimmed in Cashmere MB-Tex (154) with matching door inserts and lower dashboard panels, contrasting upper surfaces, and Burl Walnut veneer across the dashboard and center console. Equipment includes heated power-adjustable front seats with memory, automatic climate control, COMAND navigation with a DVD changer, a rearview camera, and a power-folding third row providing seating for seven. WeatherTech floor liners are fitted, and the factory mats accompany the sale. The seller reports the climate control, windows, and sunroof operate properly.
The heated leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel features shift paddles and fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and a fuel-level gauge. Central digital displays provide trip information, outside temperature, and gear selection. Minor wear is noted on the steering wheel. The odometer shows 58,286 miles, approximately 26k of which were added by the seller since 2022.
The naturally aspirated 4.6-liter M273 V8 is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission delivering power through the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. Service records accompany the vehicle from new, with maintenance documented at Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn and Helms Bros. Under current ownership, work within the last year included an oil and filter change and replacement of the battery, filters, ignition coils, and spark plugs. The Carfax also records replacement of the thermostat and its housing or gasket in March 2022. Engine-bay and underside photographs are provided in the gallery.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage, two owners, and 27 service-history records. New York registration history is recorded from new, and the most recent mileage entry shows 54,459 miles in December 2025. Two keys, books, service records from new, factory mats, WeatherTech floor liners, tools, a first-aid kit, a cargo cover, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name accompany the sale.
The seller has included the following video:
The first-generation GL makes a strong case for the family Mercedes. Three rows, a naturally aspirated V8, and an upright body with useful glass area give it an easygoing character that suits everyday use. Arctic White over Cashmere is a particularly inviting combination, and the wood trim and straightforward cabin controls retain the familiar feel of Mercedes from this period. This example’s appeal is supported by two-owner history, records from new, and continued attention under current ownership. The reported operation of the air suspension and climate control matters on a vehicle intended to carry people comfortably, while the recent ignition and routine service work adds useful context. Tire replacement remains an item for the next owner, as disclosed. For someone looking for a comfortable Mercedes with room for the family and luggage, this GL offers a well-documented place to start.

Thank you!@CTBenz Good morning and thank you for your interest in this beautiful GL450. The air suspension has been serviced from New, records can be seen within the Carfax and with the records that I have. The air suspension also works as it should; when raised, and when in normal driving height. The ride is exactly what you would expect: smooth, quiet, and comfortable.@OSA72 Good day! I know that it is late in the game - - but any chance of a video showing the operation of the adjustable height? Absent that - - pic/details of service record of suspension repairs? As we all know - - Airmatic repairs can be several thousand dollars - - and having owned a number of GL550s - - they all need it at some point. Thanks much for anything that you can provide to support the condition of this system.$6,250 bid placed by @mbzman53

Nice looking GL! Have there been any water leaks in the cabin air filter box in the passenger footwell area? Have there been any water leaks in the spare tire area and D-pillars? Has the brake booster recall been performed? When were the air springs last checked/replaced? Thanks!Hello & Good Morning to all ! We have owned this GL450 in our family for years and it has been an incredible vehicle. @Tachero I have uploaded the requested photos of paint meter readings all around the vehicle and its roof showing factory 4 mils on every panel. -3rd row seating is electronically powered via two switches on the passenger side of the trunk and operates flawlessly. (We have never used the 3rd row) but comes installed with the same weather tech liners found in the other rows of the vehicle. They present as new. - Interior and exterior imperfections have been added to the gallery as well. -I have a complete binder of service documents during my ownership and from the previous (original owner) that I will be adding to the gallery when I get to my office as well$1,250 bid placed by @jradcliffe
This is a very nice looking gen 1 GL. Low mileage, 2 owner, good color combination and pretty good looking underneath considering its' location. Would like to see more close-up pictures of the exterior blemishes, interior wear points and service paperwork please. Also some pics of the 3rd row seating and paint meter readings too. Thanks,
