Same exact one I have including the mileage but without rear seat entertainment. The price isn't bad for a basically new truck which would be below invoice if new. It seems like the original owner didn't do enough research or test drive it long enough to figure out they didn't like the truck.

There's no way I'd take a Mercedes over my 2012 GX. We did look at them, but in my opinion, there was no comparison... the GX far exceeded my expectations over a comparable Mercedes SUV!!! I LOVE my GX460

I am reminded of a Lexus LX 470 we bought with less than three months and three thousand miles of use. It was purchased new for someone's wife, but she could not adapt to driving an SUV. As we drove off with their slightly used LX the couple were making a deal for a sedan. My point is that this slightly used 2012 GX 460 was likely traded for a SEDAN ... that just happened to be a Mercedes.

We tend to forget that the differences between luxury SUVs are small, but the differences between SUVs and sedans are huge! Some people can't adapt to the high seating, short wheelbase, limited visibility and truck-like characteristics of SUVs. Unfortunately, it takes them several months to learn their lesson ... the hard way! Too bad ... their loss is someone's gain ... and it was our gain then.
Regards,
