136,058 miles · $14,598 with $252 doc fee · 3.0L Biturbo V6 4MATIC
Moose’s Verdict
Fair price. Ticking air suspension.
$14,346 sits squarely in the fair range for these miles ($13k–$17k, clustering $14k–$16k) — the price isn’t the problem. The air suspension is: 136,058 miles on AIRMATIC air springs, and they fail as a wear item — $2,000–$4,000+ per corner when they go. Add 8 NHTSA recalls with completion unknown on this VIN and a 9G-TRONIC transmission with its own complaint history, and this GLS needs either a warranty or a repair budget from day one. Fair price, but only if you price in the suspension.

$14,346 is fair for 136k miles — mid-range against $13k–$17k comps.

AIRMATIC at 136k miles is the #1 risk ($2k–$4k+ per corner); 9G-TRONIC has its own complaint history.
★★★★★

★★★★★
Dealership
4.8 stars on 34 Google reviews (Larwill 4.7/26, Goshen 5.0/8), but a public Jan 2025 complaint alleges a kept deposit at the Goshen store.
★★★★★
Vehicle History
Scores below the similar-vehicle range mean this GLS’s history is rougher than most on the road — more records, more events. The free score won’t say which events, but the gap itself is the signal.

One public red flag on record: a January 2025 complaint alleges the Goshen location kept a buyer’s deposit after financing fell through. Worth asking about their deposit policy in writing before you put money down.
The Original Listing
Snapshot of the dealer’s listing page, captured at verdict time — so the price and details can’t quietly change afterward.
The fine print: this verdict is our opinion based on publicly available information at the time of analysis — price data, history sources, and dealer reviews. It is not financial advice. Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection and verify the history yourself before you buy.
